To address this question, we conducted a series of studies in mixed Jewish–Palestinian cities and academic settings. Study 1, based on data collected through large-scale online surveys of residents in both mixed and non-mixed cities in Israel (<i>n</i> = 944), reveals that Jewish and Palestinian residents living in mixed cities exhibit higher social resilience than residents of homogeneous cities. This heightened resilience is manifested through more favorable attitudes toward the outgroup and reduced feelings of tension during and following episodes of intercommunal violence. We propose that the underlying mechanism explaining this resilience to the disruptive effects of violence is the higher prevalence of spontaneous intergroup contact enabled in mixed settings compared to more homogeneous ones. This explanation is supported by Study 2, which involved two rounds of surveys completed by Jewish and Palestinian students (<i>n</i> = 6467) at a heterogeneous campus in a mixed city in Israel. The findings demonstrate that positive attitudes toward the outgroup following incidents of intercommunal violence were more durable among students exposed to spontaneous intergroup contact. We discuss the implications of our findings for deepening our understanding of conflict and conflict management in ethnically mixed and conflicted settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":39736,"journal":{"name":"Conflict Resolution Quarterly","volume":"43 1","pages":"181-194"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/crq.21490","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144927762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

GTT emerged from queer research conducted in 2022 and from the experiences and activism of 43 LGBTQIA+ people currently living in Bosnia, particularly in the post-peace accord context. Primarily, GTT argues that achieving true peace requires constant resistance against dominant systems and advocacy for enforcing and maintaining the promises made in peace agreements, especially for marginalized groups. The proposed theory uses the metaphor of a well-tuned guitar in which each string represents a critical step in peacebuilding, ultimately leading to the concept of “treasure-chest peace” (TCP). Using the example of BiH's legal reforms for queer rights, this work introduces TCP, which emphasizes the urgent need to protect and enforce these hard-won rights, thereby preventing their erosion. GTT further critiques current neoliberal and political peacebuilding frameworks for actively encouraging marginalization through the exclusion of queer rights. The theory also calls for a critical and intersectional approach, emphasizing the idea that queer identities cannot be separated from ethnic identities in the discussion of Bosnia's ethnic divisions. Grounded in an ethnopolitical discourse, GTT explores links with other marginalized ethnic groups, such as the Jewish and Roma communities, and suggests that collective struggles for liberties, human rights, and recognition can foster solidarity and strengthen resistance against a dominant patriarchal society. Therefore, GTT emphasizes queer voices while addressing the challenges and urgent needs of the LGBTQIA+ community in Bosnia.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":39736,"journal":{"name":"Conflict Resolution Quarterly","volume":"43 1","pages":"159-169"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144927611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Concurrently, the social sciences lack the analysis of roles and approaches of different actors in mediation. To this end, the study intends to bridge the seemingly intangible divide between disciplines with the specific aim to uncover processes leading to mediation agreements in the context of court-annexed mediation in the Czech Republic, a state embarking on mediation theory and practice relatively recently. The qualitative analysis shows variation among judges of district courts in terms of knowledge, trust, and commitment to mediation. In theory, judges rather agree on the value added of mediation, and they tend to believe the ideal outcome of the process is the agreement among parties leading to action withdrawal. Where they differ are the practical aspects related to the character of the agreement, namely (i) who shall support the parties in reaching the mediation agreement; and (ii) to what extent and how are judges in the courtroom ready to work with mediation outcomes in the post-mediation phase. In some cases, it is crucial that they receive agreements fully in line with the criteria of non-contradiction with substantive law, specificity, and covering all aspects of the dispute. In other cases, there is more openness to engage with the agreements and willingness to support the parties to finalize them upon return to the courtroom to adjust them to the satisfaction of both: the parties and the judges.</p>","PeriodicalId":39736,"journal":{"name":"Conflict Resolution Quarterly","volume":"43 1","pages":"171-179"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/crq.21487","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144927612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings show that research in the Global North has primarily examined resilience at the city level, while studies in the Global South have focused on vulnerable populations. Mechanisms of resilience are shaped by factors that increase community vulnerability (environmental, structural, and socio-cultural factors), key drivers of resilience (digital and technological innovation, adaptive capacity), and their respective influence on resilience strategies (including community-centered initiatives and multi-level, cross-sectoral collaboration). Together, these elements contribute to different resilience outcomes (persistence, adaptation, or transformation). Overall, strong public administrations were found to enhance community resilience, while limited access to public services increased vulnerability, particularly in marginalized communities, and reduced capacity for resilience. However, research on public administration resilience, particularly in the Global South, and on the role of social conflict in resilience processes remains limited.

To address CIIIs, the Joint Elders Council was established and was charged with the responsibilities to grant media interviews, sign as a witness to the sale of land agreements, and elevate lesser chiefs into higher decision-making bodies in subordinate communities. Also, the joint youth guards, age-grade groups, religious evangelization efforts, cooperative societies, and cultural masquerades were formed to strengthen the cordial relationship and provide policing in situations requiring urgent intervention.

We employed two methods: semi-structured interviews to understand the organizations' vision, strategies, and challenges and website analysis to supplement interview data with official statements and team compositions. The study found that while the NGOs share similar visions and goals, they specialize in distinct areas and employ unique strategies. Their structures reflect a commitment to equality and multiculturalism, aligning with their overall values. This research offers valuable insights for NGOs, highlighting successful work patterns, strategies for strengthening internal alignment (as defined by the McKinsey 7S model), and ultimately, achieving their goals and implementing impactful change. This study's limited scope (few NGOs, no international comparison) and single data source (NGO perspective) restricts its understanding. NGOs can boost impact by expanding social services, partnering with local authorities, and creating a central body for planning and collaboration. Increased NGO influence could lead to more active citizens, trust in GOs, and collaboration with local authorities. This research explores a unique challenge: building a shared society in Israel.

Consequently, a need arises for swift and expert dispute resolution mechanisms to mitigate the negative impacts of such conflicts. However, a notable gap exists in the regulatory framework: many sandbox-related regulations worldwide lack provisions for dispute resolution. This paper addresses this gap by proposing an efficient dispute resolution model for conflicts arising during experimentation within regulatory sandboxes. Employing a comparative legal method, the study compares national regulations pertaining to regulatory sandboxes and their practical application and utilizes a systemic approach alongside legal modeling to devise a model for efficient dispute resolution.
