Abstract

The Conference on the Economic Crisis and Conflict Resolution, sponsored by the Saltman Center for Conflict Resolution at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, William S. Boyd School of Law, concerned the application of mediation and other forms of cost-effective dispute resolution to specific dimensions of the domestic economic crisis—namely foreclosure and bankruptcy. Among other relevant themes, the conference also examined cost-effective dispute resolution in community mediation, online technology, and dispute-wise organizations. An economic downturn, however, does not respect borders. The current economic crisis is no exception. Thus, I turn our attention to the global dimension of the current economic crisis, which, like its domestic counterpart, calls for innovative strategies and approaches to conflict prevention, management, and resolution.
