"Plurale Gesellschaften im Allgemeinen und multi-ethnische im besonderen haben ein Integrationsproblem, da mehrere Gruppenloyalitäten miteinander konkurrieren, kollektive Wertesysteme eine je eigene Suprematie beanspruchen und im Namen von kollektiven Werten Forderungen nach privilegiertem Zugang zu politischer Macht oder ökonomischen Ressourcen angemeldet werden. Vielvölkerstaaten mit kompakt siedelnden Gruppen verkörpern eine spezifische Form dieses Integrationsproblems, und zwar weil kompakte Siedlung meist mit hoher Kommunikationsdichte, Ressourcenbündelung und subnationalen Identitäten, d.h. politischer Mobilisierungsfähigkeit, einhergeht. Unter welchen Voraussetzungen kann Föderalismus zur Deeskalation, Einhegung, Diffusion und Verregelung von ethnischen Konflikten beitragen? Wodurch werden gewaltfreie, lösungsorientierte, kooperative Formen der Konfliktbearbeitung gefördert? Das Konfliktregelungspotential wird daran gemessen, ob Konflikte in bestehenden Institutionen oder als Kampf um die Institutionen an sich ausgetragen werden, ob legitime, neutrale und autoritative Institutionen der Konfliktregelung existieren und institutionelle Arrangements flexibel und fähig sind, ethnisch-territoriale Kohäsion zu fragmentieren. In vier vergleichenden Fallstudien zu Russland, Indien, Nigeria und Spanien werden diese Indikatoren angewandt. (...)" (Autorenreferat)

Drawing on over 600 references to probe sources of conflict and to prescribe means of reducing tension in organizational, institutional and community settings, this handbook cuts across theoretical perspectives, strategic models and situational contexts.
This new textbook introduces key mechanisms and issues in international conflict management and engages students with a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach to mitigating, managing, and transforming international conflicts. The volume identifies key historical events and international agreements that have shaped and defined the field of international conflict management, as well as key dilemmas facing the field at this juncture. The first section provides an overview of key mechanisms for international conflict management, such as negotiation, mediation, nonviolent resistance, peacekeeping, peacebuilding, transitional justice, and reconciliation. The second section tackles important cross-cutting themes, such as technology, religion, the economy, refugees and migration, and the role of civil society, examining how these issues contribute to international conflicts and how they can be leveraged to help address such conflicts. Each chapter includes a brief historical overview of the evolution of the issue or mechanism, identifies key theoretical and practical debates, and includes case studies, discussion questions, website links, and suggested further reading for further study and engagement. By providing a mixture of theory and practical examples, this textbook provides students with the necessary background to navigate this interdisciplinary field.

Conflict is an unavoidable but potentially productive part of human behavior. When managed effectively, conflict can lead to satisfaction with goals attained, more creative "solutions," and enhanced commit ment to relationships. This article describes a variety of approaches to conflict management, categorizes them, and discusses the similarities of and contributions made by a few widely used models. Detailed descrip tions are given of models that convert conflicts into problems to which problem-solving techniques can be applied.

Rivalry is a form of conflict in which relatively few opponents must make decisions in full knowledge that rivals will perceive those decisions as interfering to a greater or lesser extent with their welfares. Actors' autonomous actions must be undertaken only after opponents' potential reactions have discounted the favorable effects on the initiating agent's welfare in the absence of such reactions. This paper defines an environment of mature rivalry in which this prospective interaction of decisions takes place in a manner that restrains conflict through the fostering of mind-sets, institutions, and conditions that enhance cooperation. The role of uncertainty is featured as a facilitator of these stabilizing tendencies. A formal framework for analyzing the solution process in contexts of mature rivalry is presented using the theory of rivalrous consonance.

Strategies of reassurance (S. der erneuten Versicherung oder Bestätigung) gehen von anderen Annahmen aus als die der Abschreckung. Sie setzen zwar ebenso Feindseligkeit als gegeben voraus, aber im Unterschied zur Abschreckung sehen sie die Wurzeln der Feindseligkeit nicht im Streben des Gegners nach einer günstigen Gelegenheit zum Angriff, sondern in seinen Nöten und Schwächen. Sie versuchen nicht, einer Fehleinschätzung durch verbale reassurance vorzubeugen, sondern bieten eine Palette von Reaktionsmöglichkeiten, auf die der Gegner zurückgreifen kann, um die Wahrscheinlichkeit der Androhung oder des Gebrauchs von Gewalt zu verringern. Vier strategies of reassurance - the exercise of restraint, the creation of norms of competition, the making of evocable commitments, regime building - werden an Hand von konkreten Beispielen vorgestellt.

THE END OF COLONIALISM AND THE DECLINE OF COLD WAR BIPOLARITY MEAN THAT THE UNITED STATES AND THE SOVIET UNION MUST FIND NEW WAYS OF RELATING TO A THIRD WORLD THAT IS GROWING INCREASINGLY INFLUENTIAL AND IS SEEKING WAYS TO BE THE MASTER OF ITS OWN DESTINY. THERE HAS BEEN A MARKED GROWTH IN REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN THE THIRD WORLD DESIGNED TO DEAL WITH THE RELATED PROBLEMS OF SOLVING INTERNAL DISPUTES AND REDUCING THE ROLE OF OUTSIDE POWERS IN REGIONAL AFFAIRS. THESE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE MIXED RECORDS, AND SOME COULD POSE THREATS TO BROADER GLOBAL INTERESTS, INCLUDING THOSE OF THE USA AND THE USSR. NONETHELESS, THE TREND TOWARD REGIONALIZATION IS PERVASIVE, AND IN MANY CASES REGIONAL GROUPINGS CAN DEAL WITH PROBLEMS THAT THE SUPERPOWERS NO LONGER CAN OR WANT TO HANDLE. MOSCOW AND WASHINGTON MUST JUDGE EACH CASE ON ITS OWN MERITS, BUT THEIR GENERAL APPROACH SHOULD BE TO LET REGIONAL GROUPINGS CARRY AS MUCH OF THE BURDEN AS POSSIBLE.
This book addresses a gap in the literature by demonstrating how a nuanced and contextualized understanding of nationalism can inform the theory and practice of ethno-national conflict management. This book was originally published as a special issue of Commonwealth and Comparative Politics.

This article combines theoretical material and the author's experience in a discussion of conflict and its management in group psychotherapy. The author emphasizes that conflict is an inevitable and important factor in group development. Particular emphasis is placed on the therapist's ability to manage group conflict and how this ability is communicated to the group members. Techniques that aid in the highlighting and resolution of conflict situations are discussed, accompanied by illustrations of group situations arising from the author's practice. Cited in the article is some of the literature discussing the sources and importance of conflicts in groups, conflict related to group development theory, transference and the role of the group leader in managing conflict, the group contract, and resistance.

PurposeThis introduction aims to summarize five studies in this special issue on conflict management in the Middle East. These studies highlight how conflict management research relates to important issues in this critical region of the world.Design/methodology/approachThe five studies were combined into this single issue so that readers can compare, contrast, and integrate scholarship from many countries, including Egypt, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, and Turkey, and cultures in this region.FindingsThe studies show that several conceptualizations of national culture can help in understanding and predicting negotiation and conflict management behaviors in this region.Research implicationsThe studies show the need for future research on conflict management in the Middle East and show that theories and methods used in other countries and cultures can be adapted to this region.Originality/valueFour of the five studies used original data not reported elsewhere and gathered in countries that have not been reported in prior studies.
