| Herding Cats: Multiparty Mediation in a Complex World | Report Error | | Author: Chester A. Crocker (Editor), Fen Osler Hampson (Editor), Pamela R. Aall (Editor) | | Publication Date: December 2000 | | Publisher: United States Institute of Peace | | Description: 'An illustrious cast of practitioners here describe their personal experiences in working to bring peace in significant conflicts across four continents. In each case, mediation was a multiparty effort, involving a range of actors working simultaneously or sequentially.
Herding Cats was developed by the same editors who were responsible for USIP Press's highly successful 1996 publication MANAGING GLOBAL CHAOS and is intended as a follow-on to that book. The editors have framed the volume with discussions that link the practitioner cases to the scholarly literature on mediation, thereby situating the case studies in terms of theory while also drawing on lessons for both scholars and practitioners that can help guide future endeavors.' | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obid | Date Added: 11/22/2003 |

| Mediating Dangerously: The Frontiers of Conflict Resolution | Report Error | | Author: Kenneth Cloke (Author) | | Publication Date: 2001 | | Publisher: Jossey-Bass | | Description: 'Sometimes it's necessary to push beyond the usual limits of the mediation process to achieve deeper and more lasting change. Mediating Dangerously shows how to reach beyond technical and traditional intervention to the outer edges and dark places of dispute resolution, where risk taking is essential and fundamental change is the desired result. It means opening wounds and looking beneath the surface, challenging comfortable assumptions, and exploring dangerous issues such as dishonesty, denial, apathy, domestic violence, grief, war, and slavery in order to reach a deeper level of transformational change.
Mediating Dangerously shows conflict resolution professionals how to advance beyond the traditional steps, procedures, and techniques of mediation to unveil its invisible heart and soul and to reveal the subtle and sensitive engine that drives the process of personal and organizational transformation. This book is a major new contribution to the literature of conflict resolution that will inspire and educate professionals in the field for years to come.' | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obid | Date Added: 10/5/2003 |

| New Approaches to International Mediation | Report Error | | Author: C.R. Mitchell, K. Webb | | Publication Date: November 1988 | | Publisher: Greenwood Publishing Group | | Description: 'This collection of twelve essays examines the use of mediation in intranational as well as international disputes so that parallels and similarities between various approaches could be emphasized and the whole approach viewed as a universal means of managing human conflict. Initial chapters treat mediation as a concept, beginning with an analysis by editors Mitchell and Webb entitled 'Mediation in International Relations: An Evolving Tradition.' Other contributors examine the Falklands/Malvinas conflict, outline lessons from the South Tyrol on third-party mediation in national minority disputes, and analyze mediation attempts by the World Council of Churches in the Sudan Civil War. South African initiatives and the use of hypergames as an aid to mediation are also discussed. A concluding essay on 'Paradigms, Movements, and Shifts' as indicators of social invention concludes the volume.' | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obid | Date Added: 11/22/2003 |

| The Flame Rekindled: New Hopes for International Arbitration | Report Error | | Author: Sam Muller, Wim Mijs (Editor) | | Publication Date: February 1994 | | Publisher: Martinus Nijhoff | | Description: 'Among the aims of the United Nations Decade of International Law is the promotion of the means and methods for the peaceful settlement of disputes between states. In the previous volume, The United Nations Decade of International Law, Reflections on International Dispute Settlement, the editors contributed to this aim by bringing together a variety of opinions by international legal experts on the topic, with an emphasis on the role of the International Court of Justice. This time, the editors turn their attention to international arbitration and the role of the Permanent Court of Arbitration. It also explores the prospects for pre-constituted, non-ad hoc arbitral institutions which may be considered in the general framework of peaceful settlement of disputes between states, as well as between states and other actors (commercial arbitration) in the present day international system, through the process of international adjudication. Like the previous volume, this book is a valuable contribution towards the promotion of the United Nations Decade of International Law.' | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obid | Date Added: 11/22/2003 |

Folger (Authors) | | Publication Date: 1994 | | Publisher: Jossey-Bass | | Description: 'the authors present an alternative theoretical framework that affords a deeper understanding of conflict and mediation -- one based on respect for personal strength and compassion for others.

| The Third Side: Why We Fight and How We Can Stop | Report Error | | Author: William L. Ury | | Publication Date: September 2000 | | Publisher: Penguin USA | | Description: 'According to William Ury, it takes two sides to fight, but a third to stop. Distilling the lessons of two decades of experience in family struggles, labor strikes, and wars, he presents a bold new strategy for stopping fights. He also describes ten practical roles--as managers, teachers, parents, and citizens--that each of us can play every day to prevent destructive conflict.
Fighting isn't an inevitable part of human nature, Ury explains, drawing on his training as an anthropologist and his work among primitive tribes and modern corporations. We have a powerful alternative--The Third Side--which can transform our daily battles into creative conflict and cooperation at home, at work, and in the world.' | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obid | Date Added: 11/17/2003 |
