"Mediation and Multicultural Reality." , June 1998 Available at: http://www.gmu.edu/academic/pcs/lebaron.htm [Backup Link] This article seeks to advance the author's theory and practice in connecting mediation and multiculturalism in three ways: (1) by summarizing implications of multiple cultures for the study and design of conflict resolution processes; (2) by examining communication frameworks for understanding cultural difference for their usefulness in advancing practice; and (3) by exploring how intercultural capacity can be built by third parties. Metz, Zachary. The Truth is in the Struggle: Striking a Balance in Conflict Resolution Training. Available at: Primary Link [Backup Link] Offline (Print) Sources Lederach, John Paul. Preparing for Peace: Conflict Transformation Across Cultures. Syracuse, NY: Syracuse University Press, August 1, 1996. In this book the author draws on his personal experiences in order to examine the practice of teaching conflict resolution. Lederach seeks to address the problem of universalized techniques that are falsely assumed to work across different cultural contexts. Instead, Lederach explores the purpose of dispute resolution training and its relationship with culture. The aim is to work toward the development of training methods that will prepare mediators to practice in any culture. Primary Link Boulding, Kenneth E. The Image: Knowledge in Life and Society.
