Calling all papers, symposia, and workshops! Get ready to submit your work to the Conflict Management (CM) division. Our domain is broad and includes the nature and management of conflicts at the individual, group, organizational, inter-organizational and societal level; power processes including influence, coalitions, coercion, deterrence, and persuasion; bargaining and negotiation, negotiator characteristics and behaviors; collaboration and competition; third party interventions (such as facilitation, arbitration, mediation); distributive and procedural justice and dispute resolution procedures. Major topics include application of the above conceptual foci to a wide variety of contexts including team interactions, intercultural relations, organizational diversity, labor relations, workplace disputes, community conflict and public policy development.
Division Awards: CM submissions are eligible to win one of four awards for excellence in the study of conflict.
