Title	Reconstructing Ripeness I: A Study of Constructive Engagement in Protracted Social Conflicts
URL	http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10....
Description	"This article is the first of a two-part series presenting the findings from a study that explored various methods of eliciting constructive engagement from stakeholders through interviews with expert scholarpractitioners working with protracted conflicts. A grounded theory analysis was applied to the interviews to allow new insights into constructive conflict engagement to emerge from the data. Our objective was to develop more robust theories and practices. A dynamical systems synthesis of the findings is presented, and its implications for reconceptualizing ripeness are discussed." -- from Abstract
