ABSTRACTConciliation services in Scotland have developed rapidly since the first service, Lothian Family Conciliation Service (LFCS), was set up in Edinburgh in 1984. Conciliators in Scotland work principally with parents, but wherever possible involve children in the process. The author monitored and evaluated this work over two years. This article outlines the context of conciliation in Scotland, briefly describes the LFCS and presents the research findings on the service's involvement with children.

In a combative review of recent conciliation literature, the author argues that the concept has been 'stolen' by court welfare practitioners to serve their professional biases. This distortion of conciliation both undermines its potential and can be damaging to consumers' interests.

This volume collects the materials underlying the International Colloquium "Conciliation in the Globalized World of Today", held on 11 and 12 June 2015 in Vienna under the auspices of the Court of Conciliation and Arbitration within the OSCE. The aim of the Colloquium was to examine the merits and possible shortcomings of this method of conflict resolution, and it concluded that the pros heavily outweigh the cons. This volume therefore draws the attention of everyone dealing with conflict management to those advantages. It does not end by providing a summary of conclusions to be drawn from the examination of the rules governing the OSCE Court and the practice of the other institutions considered. The reader will have to find out her/himself what experiences have been made in other fields where conciliation has been institutionalized as a dispute-settlement procedure. In this regard, the present book constitutes a treasury of lessons that cannot easily be brought down to a common denominator

A total of 48 subjects (24 female and 24 male) participated in 30 trials of a Prisoner's Dilemma game with a simulated other who was 50% cooperative in the first block of 10 trials and 100% cooperative in the third block. Following trial 10, the other sent one of two handwritten notes to the subject, or, in a third condition, sent none. One of the notes said, in effect: "If you cooperate, I will," (the IF-U note) while the other said: "I will cooperate ; it's what we have to do to get our most points," (the GRIT note). As hypothesized, the GRIT approach elicited more cooperation by the subject than the IF-U approach, particularly in the third block where the other was consistently cooperative and most vulnerable. Both notes positively influenced cooperation in comparison with the no-note condition. The results were discussed in terms of the perceptions of intentions created by the two notes and the GRIT proposal in general.
