Can Mediators Help Save the Planet?

This past summer I attended a Two-Day Advanced Workshop with master mediator and collaborative negotiator Kenneth Cloke, J.D.  The workshop focused on advanced skills, including facilitating collaborative negotiations; managing difficult behaviors; overcoming impasse; helping clients learn successful approaches to conflict management; and designing settlements that plan for the future.  The quality of the program, the effectiveness of the presenter, the coverage of the subject and overall quality of the training provided a great benefit to me and my practice at Parker Mediation.   

Kenneth Cloke is the co-founder of Mediators Beyond Borders. He has done international work in conflict resolution in Austria, the Bahamas, Brazil, China, Cuba, England, India, Japan and Pakistan, to name a few.  He has written several books including Conflict Revolution: Mediating Evil, War, Injustice and Terrorism; The Crossroads of Conflict: A Journey Into the Heart of Dispute Resolution; Mediating Dangerously; The Frontiers of Conflict Resolution; Mediation: Revenge and The Magic of Forgiveness.

What is our responsibility as global citizens for the social, economic, political and environmental conflicts occurring in the world around us? How can we apply conflict resolution principles to the inequalities, inequities and dysfunctions that fuel them? Is it possible to assist people around the world in resolving conflicts, communicating and mediating across borders, eliminating the chronic sources of conflict, and to redesign global institutions, organizations, processes and practices so as to prevent their continual reoccurrence? And how do we do so without recreating the very problems we seek to solve?
