Thanks for stopping by! The Beyond Intractability site is actually meant for use by international development professionals facing on-the-ground political and economic conflict across cultural barriers. So for example, I've provided a link to thier checklist for workplace conflict in this post, but they have a similar checklist for peacebuilding and post-reconstruction conflict resolution. On <em>that </em>checklist there is a link to this essay http://www.beyondintractability.org/essay/culture_conflict/ and others which you may find useful. Let me know if this is along the lines of what you are looking for. Thanks! Michiko Hi Joelle! Thanks for stopping by!
