to make conflict resolution
skills, strategies and attitudes more readily and universally accessible.
In 1973 the United Nations Association of Australia
(UNAA) accepted an initiative of Dr Stella Cornelius and established the Peace and Conflict Resolution Program of UNAA. As a result, the Conflict Resolution Network was founded in 1986, then under the auspices of UNAA, and now an independent civil society organisation.
The Network's website (below) has a significant collection of resources, including training material about the "twelve steps of conflict resolution."
A second edition of "Everyone Can Win – Responding to Conflict Constructively" was published in 2006 by Helena Cornelius, Shoshana Faire and Estella Cornelius. (Sydney, Simon & Schuster, 2006). It asserts that the skills of conflict resolution
are specific and transferable. This is a book about relationships and how to manage them well. It is intended to be equally relevant for those who lead, manage and relate to people in any context – be it workplace, social, family, community or school.
