Download or read book Getting to Resolution written by Stewart Levine and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2009-11-09 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our current models for ending conflict don’t really work. They waste incredible amounts of time, money, and energy and take an enormous emotional toll on participants. The parties remain embittered, relationships are destroyed, and often the conflict just reappears later in a different form. In this second edition of his classic book, Stewart Levine offers a revolutionary alternative approach that goes beyond compromise and capitulation to provide a satisfactory resolution for everyone involved. Marriages run amuck, neighbors at odds with one another, business deals gone sour, and the pain and anger caused by corporate downsizing are just a few of the conflicts he addresses. The new edition has been thoroughly revised with new examples, new tools, new material about building trust and virtual collaboration, as well as a more global outlook. Levine rejects the adversarial legal model: "If both sides are unhappy, you probably have a good settlement." Resolution, he shows, provides relief and completeness for both sides. No one goes away unhappy. Effective resolution stops anger and resentment cold, drastically cutting the emotional cost and allowing both sides to return to productive, satisfying, functional relationships. Getting to Resolution outlines the ten principles underlying this new approach—what Levine calls “resolutionary thinking. Levine provides a detailed seven-step process for using this new mindset to resolve conflicts in a way that fosters dignity and integrity, optimizes resources, and allows all concerns to be voiced, honored, and woven into the resolution. Levine's model has a thirty-five-year track record. It has been developed, implemented, tested, and proven in business, personal, and governmental contexts. Getting to Resolution will enable readers to shift from thinking about problems, fighting, and breakdowns to thinking about collaboration, engagement, learning, creativity, and the opportunity for creating enduring value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A loving and devoted father took his son, Andrew, on a nature walk--something Andrew enjoyed and often asked to do with his father. As they walked and talked, Andrew saw from a distance an apple tree. With excitement, he said to his father, "Dad, Please, can I climb the apple tree?" Dad replied, "Yes, but don't start climbing until I get there." Andrew took off running toward that apple tree as if he was in a race, and as soon as he got there, he immediately started climbing. By the time his dad arrived, standing at the foot of the tree, Andrew was already halfway to the top, and before his dad could tell Andrew to come down, Andrew shouted without warning, "Dad, catch!" Andrew jumped from the tree limb straight for his daddy's arms. Dad caught his son and said, "Son, why did you do that?" Andrew looked at his dad with a big smile on his face and said, "Dad, I knew you would catch me." Which life tree have you climbed, and which tree limb are you ready to jump from? Are you sitting on the tree limb of anger, conflict, despair, grief, depression, bitterness, or unforgiveness? How long have you been sitting there ready to jump but needing someone you can trust to catch you? Your heavenly Father will catch you, and He is now standing at the foot of your tree, ready for you to jump. This book, Conflicts Within: A Journey through Real and Lasting Change, is filled with skill-building and life-changing information that will empower you to exercise the same level of trust and confidence Andrew placed in his father when he jumped without hesitation or doubt from that apple tree. If you are ready to be set free from the bondage of unforgiveness, if you are ready to learn how to manage or resolve age-old conflicts to the best of your abilities, or if you are ready to experience the power and freedom that come with forgiveness, you are reading the right book. Get ready to learn more about who you are, where you stand, and to whom you belong as you confront conflicts within and take a journey through real and lasting change. 2

Download or read book Anthropological Contributions to Conflict Resolution written by Alvin William Wolfe and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropological Contributions to Conflict Resolution consists of ten essays that make vividly apparent the variety of ways that anthropological approaches and perspectives can be of practical worth in the resolution of conflicts. The essays represent various subdisciplines in anthropology, including legal and political anthropology, economic anthropology, cross-cultural studies, interpretive approaches, and social network approaches. Conflicts and potential conflicts at many levels are the subjects of the essays. One contributor uses an ethnographic account of Sikh separatists in Punjab, India, to explore fighting resulting from the intertwining of religion and politics. Another essay discusses the role that anthropology played in conceptualizing the legal reforms on an island in the remote western Pacific in relation to the recent emergence of alternative dispute resolution. Conflicts over the commons in an American suburb are examined, as are harmony ideology and adversarial ideology as they are used for both freedom and control at a manufacturing plant. The introductory essay includes a discussion of network models in regard to conflict resolution, and the epilogue cites an agenda for applied research in the area.

Download or read book Ideological Conflict and the Rule of Law in Contemporary China written by Samuli Seppänen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies ideological divisions within Chinese legal academia and their relationship to arguments about the rule of law. The book describes argumentative strategies used by Chinese legal scholars to legitimize and subvert China's state-sanctioned ideology. It also examines Chinese efforts to invent new, alternative rule of law conceptions. In addition to this descriptive project, the book advances a more general argument about the rule of law phenomenon, insisting that many arguments about the rule of law are better understood in terms of their intended and actual effects rather than as analytic propositions or descriptive statements. To illustrate this argument, the book demonstrates that various paradoxical, contradictory and otherwise implausible arguments about the rule of law play an important role in Chinese debates about the rule of law. Paradoxical statements about the rule of law, in particular, can be useful for an ideological project.

Download or read book The Challenges of Resolving the Israeli Palestinian Dispute written by Bren Carlill and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-02 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains why the Israeli–Palestinian dispute is so difficult to resolve by showing that it consists of multiple distinct conflicts. Because these tend to be conflated into a single conflict, attempts at peace have not worked. Underpinned by conflict theory, observations of those involved and analyses of polling data, the book argues that peace will not be possible until each of the dispute’s distinct conflicts are managed. Early chapters establish a theoretical framework to explain and define the different conflicts. This framework is then applied to the history of the dispute. The actions and perceptions of Israelis and Palestinians make sense when viewed through this framework. The Oslo peace process is examined in detail to explain how and why each side’s expectations were not met. Ultimately, lessons in ways to build a future viable peace are drawn from the failures of the past.
