Community Section Editorial
|
September 2004 |
Among the featured resources here are articles ranging from topics such as elder mediation--see those by Larsen and Tripp and Mercantel to construction conflict resolution efforts around the world, including peace committees and truth and reconciliation commissions.Speaking (writing) of international conflict work, among the foremost practitioners and scholars active today is John Paul Lederach, whose writings are summarized nicely here.
And among the forthcoming resources are the results of our poll of visitors to this site, a searchable database of community mediation research (via our friends and colleagues at NAFCM ),and more.
As always, we welcome your feedback on the Mediate.com Community Section. If you know of materials that you'd like to see on this resource page, please drop me a line at tkhedeen@mediate.com
