Conflict can spiral out of control, but if you understand how the spiral works you may be able to prevent it from even beginning. In this book you will find many options for managing conflict, including: planning goal setting compromise mediation Expert communicator Baden Eunson also takes an in-depth look at negotiation skills. He offers a visual and fresh approach to the work of strategies and tactics, negotiation styles, the importance of listening and questioning skills, the reasons why the location of negotiation can affect its outcome, and why the phrase 'win-win' is not a cliché but a technique for success.

Achieving peace & building the institutions that will make it last require much time & effort on the part of adversaries. While making this effort, the likelihood of peace is uncertain, & preparations for conflict are ongoing. Using a model that takes such considerations into account, adversaries divide their resources between "guns," "butter," & investments in conflict management. Even when all adversaries undertake sizable investments in conflict management, peace is uncertain. Results show that larger initial wealth increases the likelihood of peace, whereas the number of adversaries can have widely different effects. A larger number of adversaries in cases of international conflict tends to increase the likelihood of peace but has the opposite effect in cases of domestic conflict. 2 Figures, 14 References.

This textbook chronicles the logic, evolution, application, and outcomes of the five major approaches to international conflict management.

"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)

A step-by-step guide connecting theory to practice Environmental Conflict Management introduces students to the research and practice of environmental conflict and provides a step-by-step process for engaging stakeholders and other interested parties in the management of environmental disputes. In each chapter, authors Dr. Tracylee Clarke and Dr. Tarla Rai Peterson first introduce a specific concept or process step and then provide exercises, worksheets, role-plays, and brief case studies so students can directly apply what they are learning. The appendix includes six additional extended case studies for further analysis. In addition to providing practical steps for understanding and managing conflict, the text identifies the most relevant laws and policies to help students make more informed decisions. Students will develop techniques for public involvement and community outreach
