28 Conflict Resol. Q. 1 (2010-2011)

handle is hein.journals/cfltrq28 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITOR'S INTRODUC F irst let me start by thanking all who organized, attended, and partici- pated in the Association for Conflict Resolution's annual conference in Chicago last month (September 1-4, 2010). This conference remains a unique place for neutrals in many practice specialties to come together, share knowledge, make professional connections, and grow as practition- ers. For those like myself who practice in multiple areas (e.g., court con- nected mediation, environmental and public policy conflict resolution, workplace, and more), this conference fills a need unmet by any other gathering or organization. If you missed it this year, please try to join us September 15-18, 2011, in San Diego. This edition of Conflict Resolution Quarterly examines important ques- tions in an array of conflict resolution arenas. First, James Wall and Suzanne Chan-Serafin build on earlier works published in CRQto examine the ques- tion, Do Mediators Walk Their Talk in Civil Cases? They explore whether mediators stick to the models or styles they proclaim they will use at the beginning of mediation, or do they tend to become more pressing as mediation goes on? These are important questions both for the end users of mediation and for the mediation program directors who ask their mediators to adhere to one particular model of mediation. Next, Lorig Charkoudian and Ellen Kabcenell Wayne examine the impact of gender, race, and ethnic identity on client satisfaction in media- tion. Again, these are crucially important matters for mediation program directors trying to decide whether to match mediators to cases on the basis of demographics or other characteristics. Then, as we leave the domestic mediation arena for the international one, Jason Qian examines China's mediation culture and its likely impact on how this growing power acts as a leader in regional and international affairs. Continuing in the vein of culture and mediation, Doron Pely examines the Sulha conflict resolution process frequently used within Arab cultures and offers important knowledge and advice for conflict resolution practitioners working within these cultures. Lastly, Fred Perloff applies the Theory of Everything developed by Ken Wilber to the field of mediation. His meta-analysis is an interesting CONFLICT RESOLUTION QUARTERLY, vol. 28, no. 1, Fall 2010 @ Wiley Periodicals, Inc.1 and the Association for Conflict Resolution * DOI: 10.1002/crq.20009 View this article online at wileyonlinelibrarycom.
