Drawing on an ethnographic study in a multicultural city of Arabs
and Jews in Israel, this book examines the models and expressions
of power implicated in discourse and conflict resolution practices
in cross cultural contemporary community. The author explores
community politics expressed in daily life as a contextual
background to the analysis of conflict resolution politics,
exploring perspectives of state and civic stakeholders. Through
case analysis, and addressing the individual, organisational and
societal levels, Dr Li-On illustrates that conflict resolution is
dominated by politics, with culture, ethnicity, and identity
playing a significant role; disputing groups rely on conflict
resolution to achieve contesting socio-political goals. The book
explores core concerns in the field, illustrating obstacles,
challenges and opportunities confronting informal justice in
contemporary communities. Informal Justice in Contemporary Society
is motivated by the field's research-practice gap and the lack of
real world impact research in cross-cultural settings. The book
contributes insights towards theory refinement and conflict
resolution practice by addressing practical issues confronted by
mediators in the field. This innovative research path introduces a
holistic approach to the study of informal justice in social
context, deploying multilevel ethnographic analysis to broaden the
perspectives and understanding of conflict resolution in
contemporary communities. Locally, it provides insights into
conflict resolution in Israel in a mixed city of Arabs and Jews.
This book belongs on the reference shelf of essential reading for
educators, researchers and practitioners in conflict resolution and
social studies, including anthropological, community, legal and
cultural fields.
