The Age of Unpeace : How Connectivity Causes Conflict
A FINANCIAL TIMES ECONOMICS BOOK OF THE YEAR'Compulsively readable...An essential course in geopolitical self-help' - Adam Tooze'Full of fresh - and often surprising - ideas' - Niall Ferguson 'Extraordinary...One of those rare books that defines the terms of our conversation about our times' - Michael Ignatieff We thought connecting the world would bring lasting peace.Instead, it is driving us apart. In the three decades since the end of the Cold War, global leaders have been working to create a connected world.They've integrated the world's economy, transport and communications, breaking down borders in the hope of making war impossible.In doing so, they unwittingly created a formidable arsenal of weapons for new kinds of warfare. Troublingly, we are now seeing rising conflict at every level, from individuals on social media all the way up to full-blown war in eastern Europe.The past decade has seen a new antagonism between the US, Russia and China; an inability to co-operate on global issues such as climate change and pandemic response; and a breakdown in the distinction between war and peace, as the theatre of conflict expands to include sanctions, cyberwar and the pressures of large migrant flows. A leading authority on international relations, Mark Leonard lays out the ways that globalization has broken its fundamental promise to make our world safer and more prosperous, and explores how we might wrest a more hopeful future from an age of unpeace.

Conflict Resilience : Negotiating Disagreement Without Giving Up or Giving In
Two former Harvard faculty—one an internationally-recognized negotiator and conflict management expert from Harvard Law, the other a leading behavioral neurologist and cutting-edge scientist from Harvard Med—join forces to introduce conflict resilience: the radical act of sitting in and growing from conflict to break the bad habits that sabotage our politics, workplaces, and most important relationships. Conflict is getting the better of us. From our homes and community centers to C-Suites and Congress, disagreements are happening everywhere, with increasing frequency, and are being treated like zero-sum games that allow little margin for error and even less room for productive conversations.This puts a tremendous and untenable strain on our most important relationships and institutions. Unable or unwilling to negotiate conflict with skill, we ignore it or avoid it for as long as possible; when we are forced to face it, we escalate everyday disagreements and temporary flare-ups as if they’re life-and-death.Neither approach addresses underlying issues, promotes stronger relationships, or yields satisfying results. But there is a solution: a combined skillset and mindset that Bob Bordone calls “conflict resilience”—the ability to sit genuinely with and grow from disagreement.In this powerful, hopeful book, he and renowned neurologist Joel Salinas, MD, combine the inner mechanics of conflict—literally what’s going on in our bodies and our brains during moments of distress—with a groundbreaking three-step framework for how to navigate it:NAME (& dig deep)EXPLORE (& be brave)COMMIT (& own the conflict)In a time of increasing polarization, where consensus, agreement, and problem-solving can sometimes feel elusive, Conflict Resilience provides practical solutions to a common dilemma: How do you handle disagreements and differences with integrity while finding a way to create strong, deep, and lasting relationships?Conflict Resilience is not another book about conflict resolution, nor is it about problem solving.Conflict Resilience combines practical applications of advanced conflict management and study of the human brain to teach anyone how to turn conflict and negotiation into an act of union.This book provides the most cutting-edge and scientifically-grounded tools for driving agreement when possible and for empowering you to disagree better when the differences cut deep and the relationships matter most.This is a chance to bring people together, and an invitation to radically transform how we interact with our friends and families, our co-workers, our students, and our neighbors—anyone with whom we find ourselves in disagreement.

What is the difference between an evaluation conflict, a relationship conflict, and a distribution conflict?
An evaluation conflict arises when there are differing opinions on the quality or effectiveness of work or ideas. This type of conflict is focused on the merit of the work itself. Relationship conflicts, on the other hand, involve interpersonal tensions and issues between individuals, often unrelated to the work itself. Distribution conflicts occur when there are disagreements over the allocation of resources, such as money, time, or responsibilities. Each type of conflict requires different approaches and strategies for resolution.

Can economic efficiency and productivity develop mutually?
Yes, economic efficiency and productivity can develop mutually. When businesses and industries become more efficient in their operations, they can produce more output with the same amount of input, leading to increased productivity. Similarly, when productivity increases, it can drive economic efficiency by reducing waste and improving resource allocation. Therefore, as businesses and industries focus on improving efficiency and productivity, they can reinforce and support each other's development.

What is the difference between interrole conflict and intrarole conflict?
Interrole conflict occurs when the expectations of different roles a person holds are in conflict with each other. For example, a person may experience interrole conflict when the demands of their work role conflict with the demands of their family role. On the other hand, intrarole conflict occurs when the expectations within a single role are in conflict with each other. For instance, a manager may experience intrarole conflict when they are torn between being supportive and being assertive with their team members. In summary, interrole conflict involves conflicts between different roles, while intrarole conflict involves conflicts within a single role.

What is the difference between a conflict and a social conflict?
A conflict is a general term that refers to any disagreement or struggle between two or more parties. It can be personal, professional, or societal in nature. On the other hand, a social conflict specifically refers to a disagreement or struggle between different social groups or classes within a society. Social conflicts often involve issues related to power, resources, and social inequality, and they can have a significant impact on the functioning of a society as a whole.

Critical Intercultural Pedagogy for Difficult Times : Conflict, Crisis, and Creativity
This collection lends a critical decolonising lens to intercultural communication research, bringing together perspectives on how forms of education embedded in the arts and humanities can open up intercultural understanding among young people in conditions of conflict and protracted crises. The book draws on case studies from a range of educational contexts in the Global South which engage in creative arts methodologies to foreground decolonising approaches to intercultural communication in which researchers question their own power in the research process.The volume offers intercultural resources that can be used by researchers and community support groups to foster active intercultural communication, dialogue, participation, and responsibility among young people in these settings and those who may be marginalised from them.The collection also highlights the reflexive accounts of researchers working in a transnational, interdisciplinary, and multilingual research network and the subsequent opportunities and challenges of working in such networks. Advocating for intercultural understanding among young people in higher education and a greater focus on social justice in intercultural communication research, this book will be of interest to students and researchers in applied linguistics, language education, intercultural education, and multilingualism.

Conflict Coaching Fundamentals : Working With Conflict Stories
We naturally create stories to help us make meaning of our world, but in conflict situations the kinds of stories we typically tell ourselves can actually make it harder for us to manage and resolve the conflict constructively.This book provides an accessible framework for understanding why people tell their conflict stories the way they do, and how to help them move away from conflict stories that prevent them from understanding and responding to conflict in an effective way.Presented using highly engaging and accessible cases, the book is designed to help people working with others in conflict to fully support them by understanding which areas of the conflict story to focus their attention on, and using practical techniques to support people to rewrite their story into a more constructive one to better manage the situation.The book also provides practical strategies to help people who are themselves in a conflict scenario to rewrite and enact a version of their conflict story that helps them to more constructively manage, and often resolve, their situation.A conflict management coaching system is introduced that is designed to address the particular problems created by dysfunctional conflict stories.This is a book specifically for those who work with people in conflict (mediators, conflict coaches, managers, lawyers, HR staff, teachers) and also for anyone who wishes to better understand their own experience of conflict.

What is the difference between efficiency and productivity?
Efficiency refers to how well resources are utilized to achieve a specific goal or output, while productivity measures the output or results generated from a specific amount of input or resources. Efficiency focuses on minimizing waste and maximizing output with the resources available, while productivity is a measure of how much output is produced relative to the input used. In essence, efficiency is about doing things right, while productivity is about doing the right things.
-
What are the connections between efficiency and productivity?
Efficiency and productivity are closely connected in that efficiency refers to the ability to accomplish a task with minimal waste, effort, or cost, while productivity refers to the rate at which goods or services are produced. When a process or system is efficient, it can lead to increased productivity because it allows for more output to be generated with the same amount of input. Conversely, when productivity is high, it often indicates that the resources and processes are being used efficiently. Therefore, improving efficiency can lead to increased productivity, and vice versa, as they both contribute to the overall effectiveness of a business or organization.
-
Does increasing productivity lead to higher economic efficiency?
Yes, increasing productivity can lead to higher economic efficiency. When a company or economy can produce more output with the same input of resources, it can lead to lower production costs and higher profits. This can also lead to lower prices for consumers, which can increase overall economic welfare. Additionally, higher productivity can lead to increased competitiveness in the global market, which can further contribute to economic efficiency.

What is the difference between an intrarole conflict and an interrole conflict?
Intrarole conflict occurs when an individual experiences conflicting demands within a single role, such as when a manager is torn between two equally important tasks. On the other hand, interrole conflict arises when there are conflicting demands between different roles an individual occupies, like when a person struggles to balance their responsibilities as a parent and as an employee. Essentially, intrarole conflict involves conflicts within a specific role, while interrole conflict involves conflicts between different roles.
