Roundtable Justice: Case Studies in Conflict Resolution

REPORTS TO THE FORD FOUNDATION

edited by Robert B. Goldmann

This book describes seven cases in which third-party intervention was employed to settle complex social and economic disputes ranging from conflict among developers, farmers, environmentalists, and others over the construction of a dam in Washington State; to school integration conflicts in Atlanta, Georgia, and Dayton, Ohio; to the claims of the Mohawk Indians in the state of New York. All the disputes had been headed for litigation; however, responding to leadership from the government and other concerned sources, those involved agreed to mediation and negotiation as an alternative.

The authors provide detailed accounts of how mediation came about in each case, how it was conducted, the settlements that resulted, and the follow-up that was required. Demonstrating the potential of third' party intervention for resolving the growing number of disputes in society today, they also show how, in practical terms, conflicts can be resolved.

Robert B. Goldmann is a program officer, Division of National Affairs, with the Ford Foundation. He has also served as deputy director of the Governor's Commission on Civil Disorders in New Jersey and as director of public affairs for the New York City Human Resources Ad' ministration.

Guide

For close to a decade, the Ford Foundation has supported a variety of efforts to advance both knowledge about and the use of alternatives to the adversary process for the settlement of disputes. The Center for Dispute Settlement of the American Arbitration Association; the Institute for Mediation and Conflict Resolution in New York City; the Center for Community Justice in Washington, D.C.; the Institute for Environmental Studies at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington; and the Office of Environmental Mediation at the University of Wisconsin have played a major role in advancing the state of the art in the disposition of major disputes as well as in introducing mechanisms for grievance management and conflict resolution.

The foundation remains committed to this work because it foresees the need for more rather than fewer efforts to find ways to resolve disputes fairly and efficiently. Beyond third-party intervention, which will always be central in such efforts, the foundation is now exploring ways to help groups concerned with improving procedures of existing institutions, including the courts and administrative and regulatory agencies.

The documentation of the cases in this volume is not limited to work done by grantees of the foundation. The selection of cases was based on substantive criteria, in the hope of making through this volume one more contribution to knowledge about conflict resolution in our society.

The book represents a truly cooperative endeavor. The authors of the chapters participated in the development of the guidelines of the research. Each author reported and wrote on his case or cases. The editor's task was to coordinate the work of the authors. It was a stimulating job, because each author brought special experience and insights to the work. I am grateful to Richard Kwartler, Stephen Gillers, Lee Dembart, Joel Fleishman, and Graham Finney, who have documented and illustrated a growing trend toward making this a fairer and more resilient society.
