The Three Major Characteristics Of The Judeo-Christian Model Of Peacemaking
by Kenneth C. Newberger
Dr. Ken Newberger has recently published a book entitled, “Hope in the Face of Conflict.” Born out of a Western worldview, he presents what he has identified as the 12 stages of the “Judeo-Christian Model of Peacemaking.” The following is an excerpt from his book. This chapter highlights the three major characteristics of the model.
Your Conflict Set To Music
by Roberta Morris
Consider how orchestrated music makes people relax. Dentists pipe it into their waiting rooms to calm frayed nerves, and mediators might do the same, but music can do much more throughout a mediation.
Mediators Calling For Climate Change Mediation Provision
by Kenneth Cloke
Mediators Beyond Borders (MBB) is calling on all delegates to include a mediation provision in the climate change treaty. Currently, the Kyoto Protocol includes negotiation, conciliation, arbitration, and judicial options, but not mediation.
Decisional Errors – On the Field, On the Bench, In Negotiations
by Donald Philbin
The question is not whether humans make decisional errors, but how to compensate for them.
Moving The Goalposts - How To Craft A Mediator's Proposal
by Alec Wisner
In mediations involving commercial, business, contractual, employment, construction and insurance issues, the bottom line is most often dollars and cents. This is referred to as "distributive mediation," meaning that the size of the pie is predetermined, and the issue is limited to determining what size each claimant's slice will be. In my practice, I've developed a systemic method (sort of) through which I can narrow down my focus as much as possible in order to be able to insert my own proposal in a final effort to close the gap and obtain settlement.
