33 Conflict Resol. Q. 1 (2015-2016)

handle is hein.journals/cfltrq33 and id is 1 raw text is: JIT0'S INT OD C SN [ begin this issue with three articles that bring us back to the jour- nal's first focus: mediation. The article by Lewis and Umbreit promotes a model of mediation that is less focused on process and settlement and more focused on making connections between people through honest communication. Tjersland, Gulbrandsen, and Haavind examine the failure of court-ordered media- tion in high conflict couples in Norway, and offer some suggestions in the hope of reducing conflict and improving cooperation for these families. Khachaturova and Poimanova used an experimental research design to examine which mediation style works best in disputes between two people versus people embedded in larger social groups. Their findings have sig- nificant implications for those working with parties and on disputes that impact third parties and are part of a broader social web of relationships. In their contribution, Katz and Sosa examine the importance of emo- tion and emotional intelligence as contributing factors in successful nego- tiations and therefore mediation as well. Rather than always being seen as an escalating factor, the healthy expression of emotion can benefit negotia- tion, and parties with higher degrees of emotional intelligence can harness the creative and healing power of emotion in the interests of resolution. The next two pieces examine cultures with histories of significant vio- lence to better understand the long-term impact of that violence and how to turn around these histories into better futures. Mukashema and Mullet gathered data from the children of genocide perpetrators in Rwanda to see if they felt guilt for their parents' behaviors and how this guilt affects them, therefore affecting the country's ongoing recovery. Using Chicago as a con- text, Megan Lambertz-Berndt examines a part of Chicago that has been long known for its violence and unrest. She juxtaposes this image with the amazing work of peacemakers and community builders there, discussing the need to reframe the images of those impacted by violence as well as the broader community. Each of these articles makes a novel contribution to our knowledge in mediation, negotiation, and conflict resolution both in the United States and foreign contexts.
