In most developed countries, mediation
and negotiation as parts of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has been used
to resolve a wide range of disputes without going to court. They offer an
alternative to destructive confrontation, prolonged litigation and violence
both at home and in the workplace. Mediation and negotiation skills as parts of
Conflict Management, no doubt, make conflict resolution faster and cheaper
within families, communities, schools, workplace and even commercial and public
disputes. Pursuing a peace and conflict studies program can be a great way to
help prepare yourself for a career in the field or for future appointments in
the discipline
conflict and peace studies is an area
of social science that analyzes violent and non-violent behavior and the
structural mechanisms that lead to conflict with the goal of using this
understanding to promote peace and a healthy human condition. Professionals in
Peace and Conflict management may work in a variety of areas including
international criminal courts or tribunals, civil-military operations,
community based restorative justice, human rights protection and monitoring,
local peace building training, nuclear and small arms proliferation and other
higher level positions in labour relations, mediation, arbitration or contract
negotiation and many more. Conflict management skills are necessary for any
so-called "civilized" society. There is therefore compelling need for
administrators, leaders, directors, lawyers and other judicial officers and
indeed EVERYBODY to acquire good
conflict management skills-good communication and interpersonal skills for
building and sustaining relationships, for enhanced team work, better public
image and increased productivity.
