Consortium Consortium Overview | Purpose and Objectives
|

|
||
| Most, but not all, "Knowledge Base" components of the Consortium website have now been moved over to CRInfo, a conflict resolution
"super site" housed with the Consortium and funded
by the Hewlett Foundation. (See righthand column.)
Also, see Knowledge Base below, for
additional projects. |

|
Funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the purpose of the Intractable Conflict Knowledge Base project is to assemble, on the World-Wide Web, the peace and conflict resolution field's cumulative body of knowledge on the nature of difficult and intractable conflicts, as well as strategies for reducing their often terrible costs. With a focus on conflict problems which lie at the frontier of the field, the project is systematically documenting strategies for understanding and dealing with issues such as abortion, homosexual rights, globalization, the Israeli-Palestinian problem, and deep ecology -- conflicts which stubbornly resist resolution, even when the best available techniques are applied.

| Intractable conflicts
stubbornly defy the best available conflict resolution strategies.
The Consortium pursues a variety of projects designed to help people
deal with these difficult conflicts more constructively:
International Online Training Program on Intractable Conflict a major, new, full-text program with approximately 1000 pages of material. Civil Rights Mediator Oral History Project The Project consists of sixteen extensively indexed oral history interview transcripts with more than a 1000 pages of material.Other
