At its annual conference, the International Association for Conflict Management awards a book that has made an outstanding contribution to the field. The book is chosen by a committe that is chaired by a Board Member-at-Large. Before 2002 these awards were given annually. Since 2002 its award has alternated with the best PhD dissertation award.
