Description
Conflict is an inevitable and essential part of human life, and it can be quite constructive. David W. Augsburger proposes a shift to an "international" approach in resolving conflict, focusing on interpersonal and group conflicts and comparing conflict patterns within and among various cultures. Augsburger's approach recognizes that conflict is not unique to one culture or society, but is a universal human experience. By exploring conflict patterns across cultures, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of human conflict and develop effective strategies for resolving it. This book provides a valuable framework for conflict mediation, one that is grounded in a nuanced understanding of human nature and the complexities of cultural difference.
