landmark work.

Resolution, George Mason University



Presenting a brilliant new approach to conflict resolution that
will intrigue and inform practitioners and scholars alike. Writing
from his remarkable range of academic and real-world
experiences--including his historic work in bringing Israel and the
PLO to the negotiation table--Rothman shows how identity-based
conflict can be managed so that both parties reach a higher ground
than either could have found on its own. His vehicle is his ARIA
model, and here he traces the ARIA process through Antagonism,
Resonance, Invention, and Action, demonstrating step-by-step how it
can be applied in a variety of environments. Complete with
field-tested assessment instruments and action plans, Resolving
Identity-Based Conflict is a seamless union of theory and practice
anyone seeking to turn the passion of conflict into the fuel of
creativity can use.
