Abstract
This section addresses the three main areas which play a role in preventing destructive conflicts. Effective conflict prevention measures can be taken on a structural, a communicative and a personal level. Fundamental links are explained and concrete options for potential courses of action suggested. At the beginning of the chapter, I put forward a distinction between productive and unproductive conflicts.
