Self-in-Field Action Research in Natural Spaces of Encounter: Inclusion, Learning, and Organizational Change
The goal of this paper is to examine the role of participatory action research (PAR) in improving relationships in “natural spaces of encounter” where members of conflicting groups meet and interact. It describes and analyzes a project, “the Academic Puzzle,” that fosters organization-wide change in relations between Jewish and Arab students at a College in Israel. The project consists of 16 programs, all initiatives by College faculty, administr…
Re-Envisioning Conflict Resolution: Vision, Action and Evaluation in Creative Conflict Engagement
Re-Envisioning Conflict Resolution: Vision, Action and Evaluation in Creative Conflict Engagement
Action evaluation: An action research practice for the participative definition, monitoring, and assessment of success in social innovation and conflict engagement
Conflict Engagement: A Contingency Model in Theory and Practice
The systematic study and applied practice of conflict resolution is now a few decades old and is evolving into its own field and perhaps towards its own discipline (Avruch, 2013). I believe an essential way forward towards a more robust field and discipline is to build a parsimonious contingency approach. That is, an approach for applying our best theoretical and analytical tools to diagnosing the nature and status of a given conflict and then sy…
From Identity-Based Conflict to Identity-Based Cooperation: The Aria Approach in Theory and Practice
"Identity-based conflicts are the deepest and often most destructive form of conflict. In these conflicts people's very sense of self is challenged, disrespected and undermined by others in cyclical and reinforcing ways. The authors in From Identity-Based Conflict to Identity-Based Cooperation take up the challenge of creatively engaging these conflicts and transforming them into shared purpose and joint action. In this book, they describe variou…
The Power of Why: Engaging the Goal Paradox in Program Evaluation
Clearly defined and measurable goals are commonly considered prerequisites for effective evaluation. Goal setting, however, presents a paradox to evaluators because it takes place at the interface of rationality and values. The objective of this article is to demonstrate a method for unlocking this paradox by making goal setting a process of evaluating goals, not simply defining them. Goals can be evaluated by asking program stakeholders why thei…
Creative Marginality: Exploring the Links between Conflict Resolution and Social Work
The concept of creative marginality refers to the process through which researchers in academic fields move away from the mainstream and toward the margins of their fields and look toward the margins of other fields that may overlap with and fill in gaps in their fields. This interaction, occurring outside of disciplinary boundaries, promotes intellectual cross-fertilization, and it is often the site of innovation. This article examines the links…
From Interests to Identities: Towards a New Emphasis in Interactive Conflict Resolution
This article explores the methods by which practitioners have traditionally approached international conflicts. Approaches focusing on the resources or the interests of the parties can be appropriate methods of resolution in conflicts where resources and interests are the only issues at stake. However, conflicts raging today often contain issues of identity. These identity-based, ethnopolitical conflicts are often resistant to traditional resourc…
The Struggle for Peace: Israelis and Palestinians
Conflict Research and Resolution: Cyprus
As the Cold War recedes and Europe moves into a new union, protracted ethnic conflicts raging around the world pose a major challenge to forging a more peaceful world order in the waning years of the twentieth century. The serious and fresh attention given to these conflicts may also provide valuable conceptual and practical tools for conflict management. This article describes a methodology used for conflict resolution training and intervention …
