Abstract
Throughout the theoretical literature on conflict management, a dichotomy is apparent. Almost every scholar, in reviewing thinking on the subject, describes a bipolar differentiation in approaches, both in descriptive and prescriptive thinking. The distinctions, and their labels, differ of course from writer to writer, but a general acceptance of two different strands of thought is recurrent.
An earlier version of some of the arguments in this chapter appeared as an article in the Journal of Peace Research (Bloomfield 1995).
