Rightly so. Talking is not the same as surrendering - nor, indeed, as negotiating. If terrorist groups do put their weapons to one side, Mr. [Jonathan Powell] continues, the imperative is to keep everyone in the room. This requires constant attention and engagement. Eventual success in Northern Ireland flowed from a strategy of "never letting the talking stop." There is a moral to be drawn here for the U.S. administration's stop-go efforts to broker peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
The most obvious expression of the mistake is the U.S. insistence that it is fighting a war on terror, attached as this phrase is to Mr. [George W. Bush]'s accompanying admonition that everyone must choose whether they are "for us or against us.

BILBAO, Spain - After killing more than 800 people across Spain over the last four decades in its drive for an independent state, the Basque separatist group ETA on Thursday said it would lay down its arms - but stopped short of declaring it was defeated.

Change processes: Central to this approach are change processes, the transformational component and the foundation of how conflict can move from being destructive toward being constructive. This movement can only be done by cultivating the capacity to see, understand, and respond to the presenting issues in the context of relationships and ongoing change processes. What are the processes that the conflict itself has generated? How can these processes be altered, or other processes initiated, that will move the conflict in a constructive direction? A focus on process is key to conflict transformation.
Conflict transformation focuses on the dynamic aspects of social conflict. At the hub of the transformational approach is a convergence of the relational context, a view of conflict-as-oppo...
