Intractable Conflict Cases

A window into what we collectively know about more constructive ways of handling the intractable conflicts that threaten both our relationships and our societies.

Welcome to the New Beyond Intractability
We have just completed a major reorganization and upgrade of the BI system — an upgrade that includes the addition of a new Constructive Conflict Guide which organizes BI resources around a comprehensive framework for thinking about conflict problems and identifying realistic things that can be done to limit or even solve those problems. The new system also continues to provide access to all prior BI content (at the original URLS) plus a version of our "classic" homepage.

8. Intractable Conflict Cases

In this section, we include links from the Colleague, News, and Opinion section of BI to stories about how intractable conflicts have been playing out in the "real world," together with stories that illustrate particularly promising or noteworthy approaches to dealing with them. We organize the articles by the particular conflict they discuss. Obviously, we could include thousands even millions of links here. This is just a sampling of ones that we think are particularly useful for showing aspects of these conflicts that are not often recognized, and ways of approaching them that are worth replicating where possible.
