Sport, Conflict and Conflict Resolution
In: International social science journal: ISSJ, Band 34, Heft 2, S. 185-196
ISSN: 0020-8701
A factual account provides no clear pattern concerning conflict resolution & instigation through sport. Both positions prevail in the social-psychological literature on sport & aggression, while anthropological testing of preliterate societies shows combative sport to be related to warlikeness. Model & conceptual implications are discussed. A stronger concern for sociological analysis will provide a better understanding of the sport contest in its dialectical structure & its sociocultural as well as organizational context. Simple notions of causality & insights from ethology & psychology are insufficient for the analysis of a predominately structural problem of conflict in the sport contest. 1 Table, 2 Photographs, 1 Illustration.

Understanding conflict and conflict analysis
. Effectively fills a long-standing void and will no doubt be hailed as a much-needed new addition to the literature. This text very much exemplifies the strength of Ho-Won Jeong as a theorist and one of the more prolific writers in the larger peace and conflict studies field. the final three chapters on 'De-escalation Dynamics' (which includes a brief section on third party intervention), on 'Conciliation Strategies, ' and especially the one on 'Ending Conflict, ' which provides a range of outcomes beyond the usual focus on third party intervention (read mediation) epitomizes the value of thi.

CONFLICT MANAGEMENT AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION
In: Terrorism and political violence, Band 2, Heft 1, S. 54-71
ISSN: 0954-6553
IN EXAMINING CONSTRUCTIVE RESPONSES TO THE PROBLEMS CAUSED BY VIOLENT ETHNIC CONFLICT A DISTINCTION IS OFTEN MADE BETWEEN THE 'MANAGEMENT' AND 'RESOLUTION' APPROACHES. INDEED, THEY ARE OFTEN DEFINED SO AS TO MAKE THEM INCOMPATIBLE WITH EACH OTHER. THE BASIC ASSUMPTIONS UPON WHICH THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE TWO APPROACHES ARE BASED ARE ANALYSED, AND THE WEAKNESSES OF EACH ARE EXPLORED. FINALLY, THE ASSUMPTION OF BASIC INCOMPATIBILITY IS QUESTIONED, BECAUSE IT IS GENERALLY UNHELPFUL IN PROMOTING CONFLICT RESOLUTION; AND AN ATTEMPT IS MADE TO SHOW HOW THE TWO APPROACHES CAN BE COMBINED BY INTRODUCING THE CONCEPT OF PEACE-KEEPING (MANAGEMENT) AND PEACE-MAKING AND PEACE-BUILDING (RESOLUTION).

Transporting and re-inventing conflicts: conflict-generated diasporas and conflict autonomisation
In: Cooperation and conflict: journal of the Nordic International Studies Association, Band 52, Heft 3, S. 360-376
ISSN: 1460-3691
Like other types of diaspora groups, conflict-generated diasporas display a strong attachment to their countries of origin, and structure their identities and ideologies around discourses referring to their homeland. However, their inner cleavages, born out of the conflicts raging in their home countries, can run very deep. The maintenance of their ethnic, religious, linguistic or political divisions even generations after the migration process has taken place sometimes leads to conflict transportation processes, whereby the conflicts raging in their home countries are reproduced and maintained in countries of settlement. Incidents opposing rival diaspora groups are thus often interpreted as a prolongation or reproduction of core conflicts raging in their regions of origin. Against this assumption, this article argues that if transported conflicts often formally take the shape of core conflicts, and emulate them by using the same language, symbols and ethnic/religious/linguistic categories, they are also deeply transformed by the migration process itself. In this perspective, this article explores the transformation and reinvention of conflict-generated diasporas' politics, and proposes to look at the autonomisation processes they display vis-à-vis the core conflicts, in terms of content but also of objectives, ultimately generating a drift at the political and organisational levels.

The effects of conflict type and conflict expression intensity on conflict management
In: The International journal of conflict management: IJCMA, Band 33, Heft 2, S. 245-272
ISSN: 1758-8545
PurposeThis paper aims to add to the current knowledge about conflict management by examining the relationships between conflict type, conflict expression intensity and the use of the conflict management approach.Design/methodology/approachThe authors test theory-based hypotheses using a field study of new product development teams in an interdisciplinary Masters program (Study 1) and an experimental vignette study (Study 2).FindingsResults show that people are more likely to respond to task conflict and conflicts expressed with less intensity using collectivistic conflict management approaches (i.e. problem-solving, compromising and yielding), and to relationship conflicts and conflicts expressed with higher intensity through forcing, an individualistic conflict management approach. Information acquisition and negative emotions experienced by team members mediate these relationships.Practical implicationsKnowing how the characteristics of the conflict (type and expression intensity) affect conflict management, managers can counteract the tendency to use dysfunctional, forcing conflict management approaches in response to high intensity conflicts, as well as to relationship conflicts and support the tendency to use collectivistic conflict management approaches in response to low intensity conflict, as well as task conflicts.Originality/valueThe authors examine an alternative to the prevailing view that conflict management serves as a moderator of the relationship between conflict and team outcomes. The research shows that conflict type and intensity of conflict expression influence the conflict management approach as a result of the information and emotion they evoke. The authors open avenues for future research on the complex and intriguing relationships between conflict characteristics and the conflict management approach.
Conflict-induced IDPs and the spread of conflict
In: The journal of conflict resolution: journal of the Peace Science Society (International), Band 62, Heft 4, S. 691-716
ISSN: 1552-8766
Recent scholarship has found evidence that refugee flows may inadvertently contribute to the spread of conflict across borders. Little is known, however, about the spatial diffusion of conflict within a state's borders and what role internal displacement plays in such a dynamic. This question is of relevance because of the particular marginalization of internally displaced persons, which make them at risk of predation and militarization by armed groups. Drawing on a novel global data set on internal displacement, we evaluate this question and find evidence for a similar mechanism leading to conflict spread operating at the domestic level.
