• How Not to Manage a Project: Conflict Management Lessons Learned From a Dod Case Study

This is a case study of a failed Department of Defense (DOD) project, even though it was fully justified and badly needed. Project management within the DOD is a complicated process. Projects are beset by the agenda of various stakeholders within the DOD organizational structure. When this occurs, strong project management leadership is necessary for success. This paper analyzes the potential causes of the project failure resulting from the three domains of organizational conflict, and identifies lessons learned from the failure via a conflict management perspective. Lessons learned are presented to facilitate the management of interpersonal-based, task-based, and process-based conflicts on the part of project managers and project sponsors, thus increasing the likelihood of successful p...

• Searching for Balance in Conflict Management: The Contractor's Perspective

This article is an outgrowth of the author's graduate thesis in dispute resolution (ADR). The author interviewed 20 commercial building contractors (including general contractors and subcontractors) along Colorado's Front Range to ascertain their perspectives on conflict resolution in the construction industry. Contractors are intimidated by the prospect of litigation, fearing that they will become mired in a legal battle that could threaten their business with financial ruin. While contractors largely accept arbitration and its promise of lower costs and shorter duration, they are concerned about its increasing emulation of litigation. Nevertheless, contractors seem reluctant to embrace mediation wholeheartedly. This article assesses contractors attitudes toward the most-used ADR metho...

• Perspective On Conflict

Thanks to Randall Kuhn and The Washington Times for giving readers a proper perspective on the conflict now laying waste to Gaza ("When Israel expelled Palestinians: What if it was San Diego and Tijuana instead?" Op-Ed, Wednesday). As I listen to apologists for Israel, I am reminded that never did the white racist government of South Africa ever attack the Gaza- like bantustan territories that it created for South Africa's black population. The white South African government did not destroy the black South Africans' infrastructure or deny them food, water, electricity and fuel. The government did not attack hospitals, schools and churches as Israel has done, even though they could have said that black fighters were "hiding" there.

• Monroe Marker Restored

UNION - Elsewhere in the country, someone might raise a question about a monument in honor of the Confederacy being dedicated in a place named "Union." But it isn't a mystery to the sons and daughters of Union, the seat of Monroe County, whose greats and great-greats fought hard in honor of Southern kinship, an extraordinary number losing their lives in battle. Cousin against cousin. Brother against brother. Local historian Everett Fraley is a Civil War buff who has a way of putting the cost of the conflict into perspective. He says one reason the Civil War remains so intriguing is that it wasn't men fighting foreigners on foreign soil, but men of the same nation fighting against one another. The sum total of the tragedy is nearly unfathomable.

• The Israeli-Palestinian Encounter ; Bringing Perspective to the Tragic Conflict

In President Bill Clinton's cabin on the last night of the Camp David summit, as the hopes of a peace agreement crashed around them, the Israeli foreign minister Shlomo Ben-Ami took the floor and warned his Palestinian counterpart Saab Erekat that Yasser Arafat's refusal to make a deal meant "this is the defeat of the peace camp in Israel for many years to come. With hindsight, it seems also that the failure of that broadly reasonable compromise offered by the Israelis (with a lot of Clinton prodding) was the beginning of the end for Arafat's Fatah party and the old guard of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. If the future for the Israelis seemed to lie with the hard-liners of Likud led by Ariel Sharon, the future for the Palestinians lay with the young militants like Marwan Barg...
