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

Ann McBroom

Dr. Ann Harrison McBroom completed a Graduate Certificate in Conflict Transformation at Eastern Mennonite University in May 2006. She comes to the field after a career in Medical Psychology, working in England, the USA, the Middle East and the West Indies. Now contentedly settled in rural Virginia (USA), she plans to pursue both her theoretical interests in transformation and practical work with groups in conflict.

People try nonviolence for a week and when it doesn't 'work' they go back to violence, which hasn't worked for centuries. -- Theodore Roszak

Taming Intractable Conflicts
The trick for the mediator is identifying what conflicts it pays to become involved in, how to go about it, and when. Crocker et al. explore some limitations and pitfalls for mediators and go on to suggest how they may most effectively contribute at different stages of the conflict.
