Winner of the 2009 CPR Award for Outstanding Book In this groundbreaking book, Bernard Mayer, a pioneer in the field of conflict resolution, offers a new paradigm for dealing with long-term disputes. Mayer explains that when dealing with enduring conflict, mediators and other conflict resolution specialists need to move past the idea of how quickly they can resolve the conflict. Instead, they should focus on how they can help people prepare to engage with an issue over time. Once their attention is directed away from a speedy resolution to a long-term approach, new avenues of intervention become apparent.

"Our road to a better future must take us deeper into conflict. As we grapple with the profoundly disruptive events of the past year and in particular with the sense that something is seriously wrong with our capacity to deal with the most intense problems we face as a society and a world, we are challenged to rethink our whole approach to conflict. Deep and disturbing conflict is not only inevitable, not only an opportunity for change, but vital to our capacity to flourish as an inclusive and equitable society. This book will address how those interested in social justice can approach the necessary conflicts that we must engage in and sustain to bring about significant change. The authors will address this challenge from the perspective of practitioners and students of conflict but also as lifelong participants in social change efforts. The book will offer clear principles for how to understand the conflicts we face, how to challenge the status quo in an effective way, how to practice "getting into good trouble" as the late John Lewis put it, and how to take a strategic and sustainable approach to doing so. The authors will discuss not only systems disruption, but what comes next--how to develop the relationships and reconciliation processes that can help systems and societies heal over time"--

Mayer befasst sich mit der Art und Weise, wie Menschen Konflikte austragen, untersucht den Prozeß der Konfliktlösung im Einzelnen, stellt Verfahren der Konfliktlösung vor und zeigt, was sie zu leisten vermögen.

AbstractThis article outlines general principles and practical information useful for conflict management practitioners who conduct consultations and trainings on democratic decision‐making and dispute resolution processes in countries making a transition from authoritarian to democratic structure. The article, which is based on the authors' work in Central and Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia, identifies key considerations for collaborative partnerships with foreign practitioners who need to develop coequal working relationships. A number of models for assistance and interventions are described and evaluated, and a series of practical suggestions on developing common vision, designing collaborative decision‐making processes, and responding to cultural differences when working with interpreters is presented.
