Institute supports and provides a forum for the work of scholars and
practitioners in the conflict intervention field who approach conflict from a
relational or transformative view. This view and its implications for conflict
intervention were first described in The Promise of Mediation by Robert A.
Baruch Bush and Joseph P. Folger, published in 1994. The Institute was founded
in 1999 to study and promote understanding of conflict and intervention
processes from the transformative perspective</SPAN><SPAN
