The University of Colorado Conflict Research Consortium is a multidisciplinary program of research, teaching, and application, focused on finding more constructive ways of addressing long-term, resolution-resistant conflicts, and then disseminating that information to the parties. A joint university-community program, funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the United States Institute of Peace, and others, the Consortium unites researchers, educators, and practitioners from many fields for the purposes of developing, testing, disseminating, and applying new conflict management techniques.

As part of our effort to disseminate information to users, the Consortium maintains an extensive World Wide Web site with summaries of our research, a variety of on-line training opportunities, and links to other sites of interest. Current information available on the site includes:

• Information about the CRC Approach to Dealing with Intractable Conflict

The Consortium approach to intractable conflict draws both from the peace and conflict resolution fields, as well as advocacy.

• Abstracts of Key Books

Fully searchable abstracts of more than 300 important books in the conflict resolution, peace research, and environmental dispute resolution fields are available.

• Case Study Archives

This computer-searchable, full-text archive includes 44 case studies from the Consortium's collection. Users are also able to conduct instant searches of Internet accessible news archives addressing specific conflict problems as well.

• Online Bibliographic Searching

The site provides online searching of the Consortium's 70,000 entry bibliographic databases on peace and conflict resolution literature.

• Online Courses and Training Programs

Education and training programs yielding either formal University credit or informal Consortium Certificates are available in conflict management and the handling of resolution-resistant conflicts. The first course on Conflict Management in Social Systems is available now, as is a module on transformative mediation. An extended course on resolution-resistant conflict management will be added during 1998.

• Civility in Public Discourse

A paper is available discussing the issue of civility in public discourse and its relationship to conflict and conflict resolution efforts.

• Colorado Internet Center for Environmental Problem-Solving

With support from the University's Global Change and Environmental Quality Program, we have constructed an Internet Center which provides easy access to resources used by University faculty and area professionals seeking to develop better ways of dealing with difficult environmental problems. This site contains abstracts of many important books in the field, as well as summaries of University research activities and other information sources.

• Links to Other Many Other Conflict Resolution Degree Programs and Training Opportunities.

Lists and links are provided for University degree programs, and private training organizations which offer courses on mediation, conflict management, or dispute resolution.

Hewlett Conflict Theory Building Centers

As a member of the network of Hewlett-funded conflict resolution theory-building centers, the Consortium maintains a Web page with information about each center and links to the Web sites of other centers.

• Consortium Documents

Most Conflict Research Consortium documents, including over 100 full-text working papers, newsletters, and brochures, are available for free downloading over the Web.

• Links to Reviewed Web Sites

The Consortium provides short summary paragraphs and links to more than 650 categorized Web sites that we have found to contain useful information on peace and conflict resolution topics.

Transformative Conflict Resolution Module

A new module on transformative mediation and other transformative approaches to conflict resolution applicable at the interpersonal to international levels is available. This module has summaries of alternative approaches and abstracts of many key books and articles on transformative approaches to conflict.

Issue Pages

The site contains sixteen "issue pages" which contain extensive and continually updated information on major ongoing conflicts.

• Instant Yahoo and Alta Vista Searches

Instant searches providing an up-to-the-minute inventory of available resources on specific conflict related topics are now available.

• Online Discussion Groups

Links are provided to a number of online discussion groups on peace and conflict resolution topics.
