Abstract: The Program on Conflict ~a n a ~e m e n t AlternativesThe Program on ~o n f lict Management ~lternatives was established . in January, 1986 by a grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and additional funds from the University of Michigan.These basic grants were renewed in July, 1988 and again in July, 1991.The Program supports an agenda of research, application, and theory development.PCMA also establishes links among other university research and teaching efforts relevant to conflict management alternatives, and maintains liaison and collaboration with similar efforts in other universities and Practitioner agencies.The Program staffers own work focuses explicitly on the relationship between social justice and social conflict, specifically: (a) the use of innovative settlement procedures and roles for disputants and third parties; (b) the institutionalization of innovative mechanisms and the adoption of organizational and community structures that permanently alter the way conflicts are managed; and.(c) the fundamental differences and inequalities between parties that often create conflict and threaten its stable resolution.We examine these issues primarily in united Statesf settings, in conflicts arising within and between families, organizations and communities, and between different racial, gender, and economic constituencies.These specific efforts are supported by a variety of research and action grants/contracts with governmental agencies, foundations, and private and public organizations/agencies.
