This is a very good post. With the current drought that is plaguing the west coast and there is going to be more conflict. It will not just be the farms versus the municipalities. We need to listen to everyone's voice in order to solve this problem. Conflict will be necessary in order to come to a mutual agreement about our precious water resources.

What a wonderful post. I particularly value the notion of decoupling "conflict" from "resolution" (at least in some cases.) Your work is transformational and can be used in so many disciplines. Thank you for all you do.

Thank you, Rose! It's been so clarifying to realize how ingrained "conflict resolution" is in our culture, and how hard it is to get away from.

My thinking has really shifted. There can be no "resolution" in the traditional sense to conflict when it involves rights being taken away from others.
