The University of Colorado Conflict Information Consortium, directed by Guy and Heidi Burgess, was founded in 1988 as a multi-disciplinary center for research and teaching about conflict and its transformation.

  • The newly-combined CRInfo and Beyond Intractability Knowledge Base contains 1000s of pages of material on the nature of and ways of constructively addressing both "regular," negotiable conflicts, and highly challenging intractable conflicts.

Info

This blog contains posts highlighting things everyone--not just powerful people, not just important or rich people--but everyone of us --can do to help limit the dynamics that lead to destructive and intractable conflicts.

Example Articles

This essay talks about the sense of victimhood among people outside the United States: Ukranians (vis-a-vis Russians), Israelis and Palestinians, Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda, Muslims, Serbs and Croats in the former Yugoslavia. It doesn't talk about Blacks or Native Americans in the United States--though it certainly could have. And it certainly doesn't talk about non-college educated white men in the United States ((See the rest of this commentary.)
