The Program on Conflict Management and Negotiation (PCMN) is designed to meet the local, national and international need for research, education and training in negotiation, conflict management and dispute resolution. Located at the University of Toronto’s Centre for International Studies, with access to the University’s rich analytic resources and international linkages, PCMN focuses on negotiation and dispute resolution that is timely, effective and useful.
To further its goals, PCMN:
- includes a faculty group of more than 20 distinguished practitioners;
- offers a Certificate in Dispute Resolution in collaboration with the School for Continuing Studies, University of Toronto;
- provides customized training in dispute resolution for domestic and international organizations;
- presents distinguished lecturers with expertise in conflict resolution; and,
- sponsors research to further systematic knowledge in negotiation and conflict management.
In June 1997, the C.D. Howe Institute released Citizen Engagement and Conflict Resolution: Lessons for Canada in International Experience, by Janice Stein, David R.Cameron, and Richard Simeon, with Alan Alexandroff. The piece has attracted a great deal of attention.
Following a series of seminars early this year, recent research focuses on humanitarian intervention and the role of non-Government Organizations (NGO's) in complex humanitarian emergencies.
