Anthropological Contributions to Conflict Resolution consists of
ten essays that make vividly apparent the variety of ways that
anthropological approaches and perspectives can be of practical
worth in the resolution of conflicts. These essays represent
various subdisciplines in anthropology, including legal and
political anthropology, economic anthropology, cross-cultural
studies, interpretive approaches, and social network approaches.
Conflicts and potential conflicts at many levels are the subjects
of the essays. One contributor uses an ethnographic account of Sikh
separatists in Punjab, India, to explore fighting resulting from
the intertwining of religion and politics. Another essay discusses
the role that anthropology played in conceptualizing the legal
reforms on an island in the remote western Pacific in relation to
the recent emergence of alternative dispute resolution. Conflicts
over the commons in an American suburb are examined as are harmony
ideology and adversarial ideology as they are used for both freedom
and control at a manufacturing plant. The introductory essay
includes a discussion of network models in regard to conflict
resolution, and the epilogue cites an agenda for applied research
in the area.
