26 Conflict Resol. Q. 1 (2008-2009)

handle is hein.journals/cfltrq26 and id is 1 raw text is: T his issue of Conflict Resolution Quarterly (CRQ) departs from our usual format by including a two-piece series on constructive engage- ment in protracted social conflicts. These two articles focus on some of the most important questions ever posed for international conflict resolution: Under what conditions do people move from war to peace, and how can those conditions be fostered? The authors engage these questions at both the theoretical and the practical level. They provide useful, grounded advice for practitioners seeking to foster engagement in negotiation and conflict resolution processes. Based on interviews with scholar-practitioners, this research exemplifies the necessary interplay between theory and practice (or between practice and theory). It is sure to spark discussion and change the way academics and practitioners approach these crucial questions. For readers interested in dispute resolution in domestic arenas, we have an interesting article examining the use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in medical malpractice cases. The past decade has witnessed a sig- nificant rise in the number of medical malpractice lawsuits and a concur- rent interest in the use of ADR to address these disputes. Szmania, Johnson, and Mulligan surveyed ADR program administrators in this area to uncover emerging trends of interest to many working in the area of ADR and health care. Unless current trends unexpectedly reverse, we can anticipate increased demand for ADR services in this arena, making this article both timely and useful. In her contribution, Nadja Alexander summarizes existing models of mediation and then introduces a new metamodel. This metamodel is based on the type of interaction between the parties and the choice of interven- tion the mediator has used. This article will be useful for those teaching mediation courses and those who seek to understand the vast array of prac- tice styles and models currently employed by mediators. ?
