In this groundbreaking book, Bernard Mayer, a pioneer in the
field of conflict resolution, offers a new paradigm for dealing
with long-term disputes. Mayer explains that when dealing with
enduring conflict, mediators and other conflict resolution
specialists need to move past the idea of how quickly they can
resolve the conflict. Instead, they should focus on how they can
help people prepare to engage with an issue over time. Once their
attention is directed away from a speedy resolution to a long-term
approach, new avenues of intervention become apparent.
