Abstract

How can a human needs perspective inform the practice of conflict resolution? This chapter attempts to answer this question on the basis of my own experience with “interactive problem-solving,” an approach to the resolution of international conflicts that finds its fullest expression in the problem-solving workshop.2 This approach derives from the work of John Burton’ and follows the general principles that he has laid out. My own work has concentrated heavily (though not exclusively) on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and I will draw most of my illustrations from that arena.KeywordsConflict ResolutionNational IdentityInternational ConflictWorkshop ProcessExistential ConcernThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
