"David Augsburger believes conflict is not only inevitable in human life, but also essential and possibly quite constructive. It is universal, distinct in every culture, and experienced uniquely by every individual. Augsburger explores variations in conflict and proposes a shift from an interpersonal approach to an international approach in resolving disputes. He examines interpersonal and group conflicts and provides a comparison of conflict patterns within and among various cultures: situational patterns versus cultural, individual versus communal, and direct versus indirect. In this study, Augsburger desensitizes the reader to his or her common sense about conflict, and sensitizes the reader's "uncommon sense" about conflict, inviting individuals to learn from other cultures."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

After years of relative neglect, culture is finally receiving due recognition as a key factor in the evolution and resolution of conflicts. Unfortunately, however, when theorists and practitioners of conflict resolution speak of culture, they often understand and use it in a bewildering and unhelpful variety of ways. With sophistication and lucidity, "Culture and Conflict Resolution" exposes these shortcomings and proposes an alternative conception in which culture is seen as dynamic and derivative of individual experience. The book explores divergent theories of social conflict and differing strategies that shape the conduct of diplomacy, and examines the role that culture has (and has not) played in conflict resolution. The author is as forceful in critiquing those who would dismiss or diminish culture s relevance as he is trenchant in advocating conflict resolution approaches that make the most productive use of a coherent concept of culture. In a lively style, Avruch challenges both scholars and practitioners not only to develop a clearer understanding of what culture is, but also to take that understanding and incorporate it into more effective conflict resolution processes."
