Book of the week

Helping others resolve differences: empowering stakeholders
Gregorio Encina Billikopf

This book [online and print] is an effort to present practical, sound, research-based ideas hopefully leading to the improved management of deep-seated interpersonal conflict. While many of the concepts where originally developed through research in agriculture and agri-business firms, the method has since drawn the interest of a wide range of people from women's groups, churches, attorneys and mediation centers throughout the world. The methods used require more time than traditional mediation, but are particularly well suited to volunteer mediators, intercultural conflicts, and other conflicts where emotional factors are high. The Web edition was made available on 25 May 2004, and the hard edition of the book was published on 7 April 2004. This is a public service of the University of California
