Realizing the Potential of International Conflict Work: Connections Between Practice and Theory
Negotiation Journal - 2003
Tóm tắt
The author reviews the insights of four expert practitioners of international conflict resolution, pointing out a common theme that signals a major shift in the way we conduct and conceive of international conflict intervention. In addition to traditional “top-down” interventions, leading conflict resolution practitioners are advocating a “bottom-up” approach, a complementary effort that includes development of conflict resolution potential among the parties themselves, without external imposition. This increased emphasis on the kinds of structures, understanding, and relationships that help to transform international conflict situations reflects the impact the developing field of conflict studies has had on practice.
