Beyond Intractability: A Free Knowledge Base on More Constructive Approaches to Destructive Conflict

Funding Acknowledgements

Funding for this project has been supplied by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. Without their extremely generous and strong support, this project would not have happened.

In addition, many of the project participants provided "in-kind" funding by volunteering their time to write papers, provide interviews, and to review and critique the system.

Our thanks go to all of the 100+ people involved, as well as to the Hewlett Foundation for making this project possible.

Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves -- Abraham Lincoln

Taming Intractable Conflicts
The trick for the mediator is identifying what conflicts it pays to become involved in, how to go about it, and when. Crocker et al. explore some limitations and pitfalls for mediators and go on to suggest how they may most effectively contribute at different stages of the conflict.
