Syria, sure, but what's going on in Yemen? Why has the Syrian conflict garnered so much more media attention than the conflict in Yemen? What are the opportunities - and limitations - for using international law and international humanitarian law to discuss and analyze intervention? Global Responses to Conflict and Crisis in Syria and Yemen, a new book by Amanda Guidero of Creighton University's NCR program and Maia Carter Hallward of Kennesaw State University, addresses these questions and makes recommendations for improving the international community's response, and that of the media, to such conflicts. 

NCMR: A Decade of Research The new issue of Negotiation and Conflict Management Research, the peer-reviewed journal of the International Association for Conflict Management (IACM), marks a decade of research in the conflict field and looks back on trends and insights.
