Beyond Intractability: A Free Knowledge Base on More Constructive Approaches to Destructive Conflict

Guy M. Burgess

Guy Burgess is a Founder and Co-Director of the University of Colorado Conflict Research Consortium. He holds a Ph.D. in Sociology and has been working in the conflict resolution field, as a scholar and a practitioner, since 1979. His primary interests involve the study and management of intractable conflicts, public policy dispute resolution, and the dissemination of conflict resolution knowledge over the Internet. He is one of the primary authors and creators of the Online Training Program on Intractable Conflicts, a "precursor" to the proposed project, and is the Co-Director of the CRInfo Project the Conflict Resolution Information Source (http://www.crinfo.org). Dr. Burgess has edited and authored a number of books and articles, the most recent being The Encyclopedia of Conflict Resolution (with Heidi Burgess, ABC-Clio 1999).

Hitler and Mussolini were only the primary spokesmen for the attitude of domination and craving for power that are in the heart of almost everyone. Until the source is cleared, there will always be confusion and hate, wars and class antagonisms. -- J. Krishnamurti
