Conflict Across Cultures
Author: Michelle Lebaron
Publisher: Nicholas Brealey
ISBN: 9781931930222
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Cultural differences among members of any group-be it a multinational business team or an international family-are frequently the source of misunderstanding and can lead to conflict. With powerful techniques for resolving or at least reducing conflicts, scholars and teachers from around the globe demystify the intricate and important relationship between conflict and culture. Stories, which are at the heart of the book, come from a wide variety of groups and locations, and they give sound counsel for all kinds of settings: business, law, government, non-governmental agencies, schools, communities and families. Conflict across Cultures is written by a new generation of conflict resolution scholars from four parts of the world: Canada, South Africa, Japan and the US. They describe processes and help build the skills necessary for successful conflict resolution. Here is a new framework for understanding others-a map for making progress through differences that can otherwise overwhelm us. Conflict across Cultures offers hope in countering the view that differences must divide us.

Conflict Mediation Across Cultures
Author: David W. Augsburger
Publisher: Westminster John Knox Press
ISBN:
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
"David Augsburger believes conflict is not only inevitable in human life, but also essential and possibly quite constructive. It is universal, distinct in every culture, and experienced uniquely by every individual. Augsburger explores variations in conflict and proposes a shift from an interpersonal approach to an international approach in resolving disputes. He examines interpersonal and group conflicts and provides a comparison of conflict patterns within and among various cultures: situational patterns versus cultural, individual versus communal, and direct versus indirect. In this study, Augsburger desensitizes the reader to his or her common sense about conflict, and sensitizes the reader's "uncommon sense" about conflict, inviting individuals to learn from other cultures."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
