There are many problems with the British equal
value legislation, mostly the result of its complaint‐driven
nature. Some Canadian provinces
responded to a similar legal inadequacy with
statutory pay equity – an employer‐driven
approach. Most Canadian legislation covers the
public sector; Ontario law also applies to the
private sector. All provinces require pay equity
bargaining in ununionised workplaces. Indications
are that effective pay equity bargaining is separate
and co‐operative, but equity maintenance may be
undermined. However, the initial impact of the
proactive schemes has been positive. For British
women to benefit from this alternative approach,
political will is crucial.

This edited volume brings together alternative and innovative approaches in conflict resolution. With traditional military intervention repeatedly leading to the transformation of entire regions into zones of instability and violence (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria), the study of alternative and less violent approaches to conflict resolution has become imperative. Four approaches are presented here: negotiation, religion and gender, reconciliation and forgiveness, and the arts. This volume contains the insights and experiences of fourteen internationally renowned scholars and practitioners from different contexts. Can forgiveness help heal relationships in post-apartheid South Africa? How can art assist dealing with 'unrememberable' events such as the genocide in Rwanda? What transformational resources do women offer in contexts of massive human rights violations? The aim here is twofold: to provide and encourage critical reflection of the approaches presented here and to explore concrete improvements in conflict resolution strategies. In its interdisciplinary and international outlook, this work combines the tried-and-tested approaches from conflict resolution experts in academia, NGOs and civil society, making it an invaluable tool for academics and practitioners alike

The author briefly outlines and highlights the situation of the Indians in Malaysia. The bargaining power of the Indian community eroded by its numerical weakness and geographic dispersal. It is pointed out that the strength of the Indian community in terms of its bargaining power is not likely to improve within the present structure of the Malaysian political system. The author inquires whether the Indian community might have been able to achieve more weightage if it had pursued an alternative method of political development. (DÜI-Sen)

Reciprocity is defined as a subset of exchange characterized by inseparability of the objects exchanged from the partners in interaction. Sahlins' model of reciprocity, which equates kinship proximity, solidarity, and generosity, is brought into question. A solution to problems inherent in this model is sought in an elaboration of sociability into intimacy and courtesy conveying different social values, and in taking into consideration both the positive and negative manifestations of sociability. The exchange aspect of reciprocity is characterized by two strains—one toward symmetry, and one toward asymmetry—operating simultaneously, alternately, in different cycles, or at different levels of communication. Asymmetric strain is accounted for by the convertibility of exchange objects and complementarity between partners. The dyadic reciprocity is extended to a triad which either reinforces or suppresses reciprocal expectations. Seven types of triadization are recognized: circular transference, lineal transference, unstructured transference, triadic sanction, brokerage, competition, and transitivity.
