This book is intended for use in professional courses of study and
workshops in fields such as education administration, public
administration, sports administration, law enforcement, allied
health and social work, human resource management, and other fields
in which groups from diverse backgrounds participate as employees,
students, or clients. The book is an introduction to a vast and
complex subject. Among the possible objectives that can be pursued
with the aid of this book are the following: to understand the
nature and causes of intergroup conflict including the useful
functions it performs for communities and members of identity
groups; to understand the importance of a historical perspective in
the study of intergroup conflict and the danger of adopting
ahistorical solutions; to learn how group membership influences
interactions between and among groups under conditions of stress;
and, to understand the causes and persistence of ethnocentric
thought and how individuals can minimize or prevent the demonizing
effects that may arise from it. It also includes possible
objectives that can be pursued: to become familiar with basic
principles of conflict resolution, mediation, and arbitration; to
become aware of how the seemingly harmless and benign beliefs and
actions of one group may have negative effects on others who do not
belong to the same group; and, to explore approaches to dealing
with intergroup conflict and the conditions under which these
approaches are either useful or inappropriate.
