Institutionalized Conflict Resolution: Have We Come to Expect Too Little? Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Two very different contexts of the conflict resolution field hostage negotiation and court-connected mediation do share many similarities, particularly with regard to roles, responsibilities, and techniques. In both contexts, the emphasis is on the short-term fix, or solution, rather than attention to the underlying reasons for a conflict and long-term societal change. This emphasis, though perhaps changing in the international relations area, permeates much of the institutionalized conflict resolution field and bears further examination by practitioners and researchers.
