Summary of The Handbook of Conflict Resolution: Theory and Practice by Morton Deutsch, Peter T. Coleman and Eric C. Marcus, eds Summary written by Heidi Burgess, Conflict Research ConsortiumCitation: Deutsch, Morton, Peter T. Coleman and Eric C. The Handbook of Conflict Resolution: Theory and Practice. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass Publishers, 2006).Like the first, the Second Edition of the Handbook of Conflict Resolution, now edited by Morton Deutsch, Peter T. Coleman, and Eric C.
Jul 01, 2000 The Handbook's authors never leave far behind its senior editor's concern for justice and its various forms (distributive, equitable and procedural) and thus the book is particularly appropriate for those of us who teach conflict resolution in law schools and are most concerned about the interaction of conflict resolution, dispute resolution. The Handbook of Conflict Resolution offers a comprehensive, contemporary overview of the field of conflict resolution, emphasizing constructive management of conflicts and the search for win-win solutions. The text is designed to be both informative to professionals and accessible to.
Marcus (Marcus is new) offers a comprehensive overview of the field of conflict resolution, emphasizing constructive management of conflicts and the search for win-win solutions. The volume is designed to be both informative to professionals and accessible to newcomers to the field. Chapters are contributed by leading scholars, and cover a wide range of issues, both theoretical and practical. All of the chapters from the first edition have been updated - some extensively, some less so - and twelve new chapters have been added, bringing this volume to 37 chapters, and over 900 pages.The general topics/sections are the same as before: Part One covers interpersonal and intergroup processes, and examines fundamental concepts (many of which actually have broader applicability): cooperation and competition, justice, trust, power, and communication.
New chapters include one on 'Language, Peace, and Conflict Resolution,' and one dealing with 'Gender, Conflict, and the Family.' The second, short section is on 'Intrapsychic Processes.' Humiliation expert Evelin Linder contributes an important new chapter to this section on 'Emotion and Conflict,' examining how each affects the other. In addition to examining the impact of humiliation, Linder also looks at fear, anger, hatred, and guilt as drivers of conflict. On the positive side, however, she also examines hope, confidence, and warmth, and concludes by discussing how to intervene in conflict so as to control negative emotions and foster positive ones.Part Three, another short section, examines 'Personal Differences.' In addition to the 'old' chapters on personality and conflict and the development of conflict resolution skills, this section has a new chapter on 'Implicit Theories and Conflict Resolution,' which examines the nature of prejudice and its impact on conflict.
The authors explain that people tend to hold one of two theories about the nature of people: 'entity theory' or 'incremental theory.' People who hold the 'entity theory' believe that people's qualities are fixed - they are either good or bad, intelligent or not, trustworthy or not. People who believe in 'incremental theory' believe people can change - they can become trustworthy, even when they were not beforehand; they can learn and change and become allies, even when they were 'enemies' before. Such views of human nature, obviously, affect the level of prejudice people feel toward 'the other,' and the degree of intractability of conflicts with 'the other.' Part Four on Creativity and Change includes the five original chapters, along with a new one on Creativity in Outcomes by Peter Carnevale, which examines how creativity can be used to generate mutually-beneficial outcomes that might generally be overlooked. Part Five on Difficult Conflicts has a lot of new material.
In addition to the earlier articles on 'Aggression and Violence' by Opotow and 'Intractable Conflict' by Coleman, there are new chapters on Moral Conflicts by Fisher-Yoshida and Wasserman, one on Religion and Conflict by Moix, and one on Conflict Resolution and Human Rights by Bartoli and Psimopoulos.The chapter on Moral Conflicts examines how these conflicts are different from other conflicts and investigates three 'lenses' for understanding and intervening in these conflicts. One lens is the 'intractable conflict lens,' as described earlier in this section by Coleman; the second is social construction theory, and the third is communications theory. The three come together in an intervention approach called the Coordinated Management of Meaning (CMM). This approach and its application are described in this chapter with reference to the Terri Schiavo case, as well as in a dialogue between Israelis and Arabs.The chapter on Religion and Conflict examines the role religion plays in causing and exacerbating conflict, as well as the potential it has for de-escalating and resolving conflict. The authors argue that 'a more integrated and practical approach to understanding the role of religion in conflict and its resolution is needed within the theory and practice of conflict resolution, among foreign policymakers, and for anyone interested in helping the diverse human family coexist with less bloodshed and more compassion.' Moix examines the role of religion as part of William Ury's concept of the 'third side' - a 'container' in which conflict occurs, which can contribute towards either its escalation or its de-escalation and resolution (Ury focuses on the latter, while Moix addresses both).In their article on 'Conflict Resolution and Human Rights,' Bartoli and Psimopoulous examine the evolution of human rights doctrines and the intersection between this concept and the concept of conflict resolution, which they see as complementary. 'There is no full expression of human rights without the freedom to engage in conflict, nor is conflict resolution constructive, if human rights are negated during conflict.'
The authors acknowledge that the two fields tend to take different (and sometimes seemingly contradictory) approaches to human rights problems, but each field could be more successful, they argue, if areas of complementarity and synergy are emphasized, rather than differences. Genocide prevention is one area in which such a coordinated effort seems particularly fruitful, they assert.Part Six on Culture and Conflict has a new chapter on 'Multicultural Conflict Resolution' by Paul Pederson, and Part Seven on 'Models of Practice' has a new chapter by Burke on Conflict in Organizations, and another by Sole on Small-Group Conflict.
Part Eight also has a new chapter by Dean Pruitt on 'Some Research Frontiers in the Study of Conflict and Its Resolution.'

It helps connect the research of academia to the practical realities of peacemaking and peacebuilding like no other. It is both comprehensive and deeply informed on topics vital to the field like power, gender, cooperation, emotion, and trust. It now sits prominently on my bookshelf.' —Leymah Gbowee, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate 'The Handbook of Conflict Resolution offers an astonishing array of insightful articles on theory and practice by leading scholars and practitioners.
Students, professors, and professionals alike can learn a great deal from studying this Handbook.' —William Ury, Director, Global Negotiation Project, Harvard University; coauthor, Getting to Yes and author, The Third Side 'Morton Deutsch, Peter Coleman, and Eric Marcus put together a handbook that will be helpful to many. I hope the book will reach well beyond North America to contribute to the growing worldwide interest in the constructive resolution of conflict.
This book offers instructive ways to make this commitment a reality.' Mitchell, Former majority leader of the United States Senate; former chairman of the Peace Negotiations in Northern Ireland and the International Fact-Finding Committee on Violence in the Middle East; chairman of the board, Walt Disney Company; senior fellow at the School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University 'Let's be honest. This book is just too big to carry around in your hand. But that's because it is loaded with the most critical essays linking the theory and practice of conflict resolution.
The Handbook of Conflict Resolution is heavy on content and should be a well-referenced resource on the desk of every mediator—as it is on mine.' —Johnston Barkat, Assistant Secretary-General, Ombudsman and Mediation Services, United Nations.

View: 3968'The SAGE Handbook of Conflict Resolution demonstrates the range of themes that constitute modern conflict resolution. It brings out its key issues, methods and dilemmas through original contributions by leading scholars in a dynamic and expanding field of inquiry. This handbook is exactly what it sets out to be: an indispensable tool for teaching, research and practice in conflict resolution' - Peter Wallensteen, Professor of Peace and Conflict Research, Uppsala University and University of Notre Dame 'Bercovitch, Kremenyuk and Zartman are among the most important figures in the conflict resolution field. They have pieced together, with the help of more than 35 colleagues from numerous countries, a state-of-the-art review of the sources of international conflict, available methods of conflict management, and the most difficult challenges facing the individuals and organizations trying to guide us through these conflict-ridden times.
The collection is brimming with penetrating insights, trenchant analyses, compelling cases, and disciplined speculation. They help us understand both the promise of as well as the obstacles to theory-building in the new field of conflict resolution' - Lawrence Susskind, Professor and Director of the MIT - Harvard Public Disputes Program 'The last three sentences of this persuasive book: 'We conclude this volume more than ever convinced that conflict resolution is not just possible or desirable in the current international environment. It is absolutely necessary. Resolving conflicts and making peace is no longer an option; it is an intellectual and practical skill that we must all posses.'
If you are part of that 'we,' intellectually or professionally, you will find this book a superb companion' - Thomas C Schelling, Professor Emeritus, Harvard University and University of Maryland Conflict resolution is one of the fastest-growing academic fields in the world today. Although it is a relatively young discipline, having emerged as a specialized field in the 1950's, it has rapidly grown into a self-contained, vibrant, interdisciplinary field.
The SAGE Handbook of Conflict Resolution brings together all the conceptual, methodological and substantive elements of conflict resolution into one volume of over 35 specially commissioned chapters. The Handbook is designed to reflect where the field is today by drawing on the contributions of experts from different fields presenting, in a systematic way, the most recent research and practice.
