Conflict Resolution And Systemic Change, Susan Sturm, Howard Gadlin
Conflict Resolution And Systemic Change, Susan Sturm, Howard Gadlin
Journal of Dispute Resolution
This article suggests that the view of public norm elaboration and accountability underlying the critique of ADR is too narrow and needs to be rethought. Public norms do not consist only of the precedents developed and applied by courts or other adjudicative bodies. They also emerge when relevant institutional actors develop values or remedies through an accountable process of principled and participatory decision making, and then adapt these values and remedies to broader groups or situations. ADR can play a significant role in developing legitimate and effective solutions to common problems and, in the process, produce generalizable norms

This symposium seeks to bridge this important gap in our social understanding of conflict by stimulating a sustained discussion among scholars about its contours. The task is important and timely, worthy of effort on both the media and the conflict sides of the equation.
Social Conflict: Some Basic Principles, Dean G. Pruitt
Social Conflict: Some Basic Principles, Dean G. Pruitt
Journal of Dispute Resolution
The term "conflict" has two generally accepted meanings.' The first refers to overt conflict-an argument, fight, or struggle. The second refers to subjective conflict-Party's perception that Party and Other have opposing beliefs or interests, or that Other has deprived or annoyed Party in some way. The latter concept is richer for theory building than the former, in that there are several strategies Party can employ in reaction to subjective conflict. Party can take a contentious approach and retaliate, or Party can try to impose its will on Other by means of an argument, demand, or threat. This strategy is very …
Eleven Bid Ideas About Conflict: A Superficial Guide For The Thoughtful Journalist, Leonard L. Riskin
Eleven Bid Ideas About Conflict: A Superficial Guide For The Thoughtful Journalist, Leonard L. Riskin
Journal of Dispute Resolution
In case you are wondering how something like this could possibly be reported in a local newspaper, I can tell you two reasons: First, the story takes place in Columbia, Missouri, a small town with a big journalism school and two daily newspapers; these factors combine to produce hordes of desperate reporters and reporting students.' Second, as I show below, if the reporter has sophisticated vision, this case has the potential to provide a good deal of valuable material.
News Coverage, The Expansion Of Discourse, And Conflict, Philip Seib
News Coverage, The Expansion Of Discourse, And Conflict, Philip Seib
Journal of Dispute Resolution
The universe of news cultures--comprising providers and consumers-has never been static. It perpetually evolves, sometimes in small increments, sometimes with dazzling leaps. We are now in one of the latter phases, with new technologies driving change at high speed. This alteration of the news universe is a mix of reshaping and expansion, and it has a profound effect on social and political life throughout much of the world. It has particular impact on how policy makers and the public evaluate and respond to conflict.

It also examines how these changes relate to escalation and de-escalation of the conflict.
Discord Behind The Table: The Internal Conflict Among Israeli Jews Concerning The Future Of Settlements In The West Bank And Gaza, Robert H. Mnookin, Ehud Eiran
Discord Behind The Table: The Internal Conflict Among Israeli Jews Concerning The Future Of Settlements In The West Bank And Gaza, Robert H. Mnookin, Ehud Eiran
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Our exclusive focus is on one of these conflicts-the profound internal rift among Israeli Jews over the Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Gaza. We are especially interested in the role of the national religious settlers and the Israeli government's response to them. These settlers lead the movement and are dominant actors in the internal conflict. The current controversies within Israel regarding Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's "unilateral initiative," which was not the product of a negotiation with Palestinians, demonstrate the importance of understanding the internal conflict within Israel and the dominant role of the leaders of the settlement movement

Conflict And Paradox In The New American Mediation Movement: Status Quo And Social Transformation, Ted Becker
Conflict And Paradox In The New American Mediation Movement: Status Quo And Social Transformation, Ted Becker
Journal of Dispute Resolution
This essay will focus on some of the disharmony in the field of mediation in the United States, particularly from the perspective of those who try to utilize mediation's potential as an instrument of socio-political transformation. The work of these individuals remains a relatively well-kept secret in a time of much publicity about the numerous virtues of mediation as an "alternative" to the legal system. Among the reasons for this secrecy is that, for the time being, the American conflict resolution movement has been substantially overwhelmed by the force and forces of the legal system, professionalization, bureaucracy, and interest-group politics.
