Summary: The Dynamics of Conflict Resolution: A Practitioner's Guide
Comment: Mayer, a longtime professional mediator, discusses ways that conflict resolution specialists can productively think about conflict and resolution in order to help them be effective as negotiators, facilitators, mediators, and communicators. The first four chapters present concepts that are helpful in understanding the process of conflict. The remaining seven chapters discuss the resolution process in detail.

Summary: The Essentials of Conflict and its Resolution
Comment: To understand conflict, attention needs to be paid to the differences in ways individuals approach it. The way people handle conflict is definition of who they are and how they relate to others. People approach to conflict derives not only from their upbringing and how they have been taught to deal with conflict, but their culture plays a key role. Conflict often is generated when people feel disempowered. Power is the currency for conflict whether its exercise is intentional or not; when people are in conflict their power is in play. The choice in conflict is not whether to use power but how to use it. When people try to meet their needs in face of resistance, they are exercising power. The success of conflict depends on part on how much power they are able to muster and how wise they are in using it. The use of power can escalate or deescalate a conflict. It can create resistance or overcome it. People can employ their power to create momentum for constructive dialogue and collaborative negotiations; or they can use it to beat others down and to prevent co-operation. Everyone has a choice of how to use power or how to respond to power; the one choice participants don't have is not having any power at all.

This is a very theoretical study on conflict and its resolution. Unlike other texts this delves into the core of conflict and explains it to the detail.

Rating: 5
