Mapping Cultures-Strategies For Effective Intercultural Negotiations
Christopher Moore and Peter Woodrow
Few 'maps' exist to describe how different cultures resolve conflict. This often leads to misunderstanding and less than optimal agreements. Chris Moore and Peter Woodrow offer a framework for understanding cultural differences and negotiating accordingly
A Mediator’s Cross Cultural Dynamics Involving Latino's
Rene Llapur
Once the mediator has self-evaluated thoroughly and has a deep understanding of his own knowledge and skills, the next step is to take into consideration the cross-cultural dynamics. As a foreigner, the mediator must understand the commonalities and the differences between the two cultures: the native one and the new one. The elements that the mediator must consider in order to be successful are the mediator’s individuality amidst the Latino cultural diversity, the mediator’s role under Latino clients, the mediator’s involvement in the conflict, the Latino family dynamics, the formality and informality in dealing with Latinos, and collectivistic patterns that the mediator must consider in order to be successful. Considerations for Mediating with People Who Are Culturally Deaf
Annette Leonard, Deb Duren, and John Reiman
Historically, mediation has not been an effective venue for dispute resolution for Deaf people because of linguistic inaccessibility and cultural non-recognition. Like other linguistic minority groups who experience and resolve conflict in a manner consistent with their social and communicative norms Deaf people have some unique perspectives. The following article illuminates some of these perspectives and explains how mediators can address these differences when working with Deaf people, in order to make mediation a more linguistically and culturally respectful and responsive endeavor.
Beyond Cultural Identity: Reflections on Multiculturalism
Peter S. Adler
No one is culture free. Yet, the conditions of contemporary history are such that we may now be on the threshold of a new kind of person, a person who is socially and psychologically a product of the interweaving of cultures in the twentieth century. Diversity Resistance - Part II
Marvin Johnson
Like the proverbial elephant in the room, Diversity Resistance can be in our face yet difficult to see. Lurking in the shadows of our existence, it is part of the blind spot that forms the barrier between the cognitive understanding and the actual acceptance of diversity. Cross Cultural Conflict Resolution in Teams
John Ford
The use of teams represents an important change in the way we work. The theory is that through the interdependency of the parts greater productivity is achieved by the whole. Experience has been less kind. One reason that teams fail to meet performance expectations is their paralysis through unresolved conflict. This article focuses on the impact of culture on the prevention and resolution of conflict in teams. Diversity Resistance
Marvin Johnson
Over the years, some have wondered why developing and implementing a diversity program was so challenging. Many have attributed part of the difficulty to the natural resistance to change (e.g. uncertainty, discomfort, loss of control). Notwithstanding those who outright oppose the concept of diversity, the difference between understanding the concept and accepting the implementation of diversity initiatives is a barrier that has to be surmounted. Techniques For Resolving Cross-Cultural Disputes
Bob Delaney
The major sources of disputes involve roles, emotions, misinformation (and misinterpretation) and values. These will all be present in the workforce, whether there is a degree of cultural integration or not. The presence of various cultures may increase the potential for the sources of conflict to come to the surface in a harmful way. Mediation and Culture: How different cultural backgrounds can affect the way people negotiate and resolve disputes - 3/28/06
Alessandra Sgubini
My experience of being a professional mediator in a foreign country inspired me to contact colleagues from around the globe to bring some insight into the importance of culture in dispute resolution. The following is a compilation of my own experiences and the experiences of my colleagues. Bias in Mediation
Ana Schofield
For mediators to maintain an unbiased perspective, especially in the heat of mediation, is challenging! Biases stem from values developed by connections to culture, identity, race, ethnicity, territory and religious beliefs. In a vast ocean of human possibilities, adopting values is central in the web that weaves the fabric of behavior and belonging. The value of a bias is in its validation and protection of our core beliefs. Fortune Cookies And Conflict Management: A Dilemma
Kin I (Deanne) Lam
