CResearch
"CResearch is a blog for sharing conflict resolution-related research, news and commentary. ... My hope is that this blog can help further discussions and information sharing between conflict resolution researchers and practitioners. Better yet, where possible I’d like to see the division between practice and research blurred, with practitioners becoming more empowered and able to integrate research into their everyday work. Toward that, the site will share techniques, tools, and tips for practitioners interested in following their curiosity and bringing more rigorous evaluation and learning into their practice."
Author: John Windmueller teaches at the University of Baltimore’s Center for Negotiations and Conflict Management. He has a doctorate in conflict analysis & resolution from George Mason University.
