{"title":"Mediatorship: Exploring transformational conflict narratives that elicit generative processes through interconnected continuums that cultivate conflict wisdom","authors":"Susan Mossman Riva","doi":"10.1002/crq.21414","DOIUrl":"10.1002/crq.21414","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Narrative inquiry, narrative conflict resolution, and auto/duoethnography can be seen as sources of agency, fostering emancipatory processes. Autoethnography is a method that can elicit constructive social change by cultivating narrative coherency. These generative methods and practices have the ability to enkindle a cultural shift. We need new stories to initiate transformational processes, resetting individual life trajectories and humanities' course. Writing <i>Homing In: An Adopted Child's Story Mandala of Connecting, Reunion, and Belonging,</i> provided an autoethnographic exploration that encompassed notions of the good life in an autoethnographic process akin to spiritual journey. This adoption and reunion story gave rise to concepts and transformational learning pedagogies that can be used to engender resolution processes that can be understood as “lines of flight” or flyways. The homing <i>in</i> mechanism that was found in cases of adopted children that were able to find their birth parents, is shown to work as a compass, guiding individual life trajectories. Auto/duoethnography are methods that elicit relational transformation while contributing to the development of conflict wisdom. <i>Transformagram Portfolios</i> incorporating these approaches were designed to teach courses within the Cultural and Social Department at Creighton University. Writing conflict and illness narratives elevated personal questing to art form by using future forming research methods to beautify story mandalas. Auto/duoethnography can be developed as an effective conflict resolution tool in response to current “glocal” challenges. Transformational pedagogies have facetted a holistic lens by creating reflexive space. In this context, mediatorship is a vessel of exploration that transports conflict resolution practices, while orienting experiential learning that interconnects the inner and outer journey. <i>Transformagram Portfolios</i> use auto/duoethnography to nurture narrative coherency, living wisdom, and generativity by scaffolding learning processes that provide an innovative pedagogical instrument for conflict resolution.</p>","PeriodicalId":39736,"journal":{"name":"Conflict Resolution Quarterly","volume":"41 3","pages":"367-383"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135856255","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}

However, the validity of an arbitration award depends on several factors, including the adequacy of the award's reasoning.

The report analyzes a recent court ruling that annulled an arbitration award due to the lack of reasoning and examines the criteria that arbitration jurisprudence has set for appropriate reasoning. The report concludes that an arbitration award without adequate reasoning is tainted by a flaw where the reasoning behind a decision is not provided or is insufficient, leading to its invalidity/annulment.</p>","PeriodicalId":39736,"journal":{"name":"Conflict Resolution Quarterly","volume":"41 3","pages":"357-361"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135199062","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}

Women even abuse certain kinds of drugs more than men. There is strong evidence that some married women also engage in drug abuse. However, few studies have explored the experiences of drug addicted wives in Nigeria in relation to marital conflicts. In this study, the experiences of drug addicted wives were explored in relation to marital conflicts in Nigeria using a phenomenological research design. A total of 18 married women participated in the study. They were purposively selected from a socially disadvantaged neighborhood of Batcher Estate, Gwarinpa, Abuja, Nigeria. In-depth interviews (IDI) were used to collect data from the participants. Data were analyzed using content analysis. Two major conclusions were drawn from the study. Drug addiction may cause marital conflicts and vice versa. However, wives abusing drugs without the consent of partners or husbands were more likely to report marital conflicts than those abusing drugs with their partners' consent. Two groups of drug abusers were also discovered: those who were initiated into drug abuse/addiction prior to marriage and those who started taking drugs after marriage. Factors influencing drug abuse/addiction were complex and comprised a combination of psycho-social and environmental issues. Access to substance-use disorder (SUD) treatment was, however, impeded by poor knowledge, stigma and shame. Improved access to treatment is an important asset in minimizing drug abuse among married women and its impact on marital conflicts.</p>","PeriodicalId":39736,"journal":{"name":"Conflict Resolution Quarterly","volume":"41 3","pages":"337-355"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/crq.21410","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135864990","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}

Al-Hawamdeh","doi":"10.1002/crq.21407","DOIUrl":"10.1002/crq.21407","url":null,"abstract":"<p>This study delves into the intricacies of the multi-tier dispute resolution clause in engineering contracts, particularly within the Jordanian legal system. The multi-tier dispute resolution clause has evolved from a traditional arbitration clause into a more comprehensive approach, reflecting the complexities of modern contractual relationships. The study employs a doctrinal or library-based methodology involving a comprehensive review of relevant legal texts, statutes, regulations, and case law. The multi-tier dispute resolution clause is defined as a contractual clause that stipulates the existence of different stages, each involving separate procedures, to address disputes and seek to resolve them. The study also examines the mandatory nature of the multi-tier dispute resolution clause and the procedural defense based on an arbitration clause. The study concludes that following the sequence outlined, the multi-tier dispute resolution clause should be binding. This necessitates the Jordanian legislator's intervention to establish a legislative framework that empowers decisions made by the Dispute Adjudication Board (DAB) or Dispute Avoidance/Adjudication Board (DAAB) to achieve the goals of multi-tiered dispute resolution clause. It also calls for an amendment to Article (109) of the Civil Procedure Law, allowing procedural defense based on the Multi-Tiered Dispute Resolution Clause, not limiting it to the arbitration clause, even if arbitration is not one of its tiers. This power should also extend to amicable settlements to ensure the proper implementation of the steps under the multi-tiered dispute resolution clause.</p>","PeriodicalId":39736,"journal":{"name":"Conflict Resolution Quarterly","volume":"41 3","pages":"299-317"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46856128","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}

With multiple methods and triangulation of sampling techniques, we examined 12 pairs of warring communities, 4464 respondents, and 18 key interviewees. The causes of PCC were misapplication of constitutional/legal instruments and biased enforcement administration that favored one community over the other. Through matrix correlation, institutions like constitution and legal mechanisms, peace-building mechanisms, and the enforcement agents' roles fuelled PCC among the warring communities. This correlation has a negative relationship that led to the people's loss of confidence in the umpires, vengeance, jungle justice and intolerance among the warring communities. We concluded that these institutional lapses created a class of disadvantaged and aggressive victims who have become intolerant of other communities.

The article demonstrates how interactions attended by high tensions and resistance can be conducted constructively, in contrast with similar situations in the past, when use of force and authority was considered legitimate, even though it frequently resulted in worsened relations between the sides to the conflict. Specifically, the article focuses on the case of a training program that was created for the evacuating forces prior to implementation of the Disengagement Plan.
