Buy the Book from the Publisher - Amazon

Conflict Without Chaos demonstrates proven methods and strategies for intervening in disputes and provides alternatives for moderating tensions and avoiding hostile confrontation through negotiation. It examines dysfunctional group relationships that affect peace among nations. The book overviews the Community Relations Service (CRS) of the U.S. Department of Justice, the agency that facilitated the author's career as a third-party intervener.

Dispute Resolution Strategies for Community / Institutional Conflicts
The book explores a form of structured communication designed to help moderate often faulty opposing perceptions and prejudicial positions. It provides insights into the effective functioning of the neutral intermediary and presents guidelines to navigate the mediation process.

Maxims of mediation, definition of terms, illustrated field activity, essentials of the neutrality role and use of outside resources during negotiations are also included in the book

Mediation Guidelines and Resources
The mediation guidelines contained in the book include pre-mediation preparation, joint session negotiations, resolution tools, and post-mediation follow-up. Comprehensive corroborating information, a list of degree and certification programs in mediation, conflict resolution, and peacemaking, plus non-academic resources relating to dispute settlement training, education and services.
