Call for Papers – Elder Dispute Resolution

Lisa Blomgren Amsler (Indiana) sends alog this call for papers from Conflict Resolution Quarterly.

———————-

Conflict Resolution Quarterly publishes scholarship on relationships between theory, research, and practice in the conflict management and dispute resolution fields to promote more effective professional applications. Conflict Resolution Quarterly is sponsored by the Association for Conflict Resolution.

This call for papers is designed to elicit a thoughtful examination of trends, opportunities, challenges and case studies of dispute resolution and conflict management principles applied to the prevention or resolution of disputes involving elders. These could include:

  • An analysis of trends in the use of elder mediation inside or outside of the court system. This includes disputes over guardianship and care planning, but is meant to also be broader in scope.
  • Proposed qualifications, experiences, skills, characteristics or abilities of mediators or conflict management specialists who work with elders.
  • Analyses of disputant and third party behavior, preference, and reaction to conflict situations and conflict management processes in elder cases as opposed to other types of cases.
  • Evaluation of the success of elder dispute resolution programs or processes.
  • Discussion of key components in the training of elder dispute resolution specialists.
  • Suggested methods to expand the use and quality of elder mediation and related services.
  • Innovative process or programmatic elements in elder conflict prevention or management systems.
  • A comparative analysis of elder mediation/ADR outside the US context or across states.

All articles should reflect an understanding of previous discussions in the literature on the chosen question (a literature review), include a 100 word abstract, and be approximately range from 2500 to 7500 words in length. CRQ uses a double-blind peer review process to assure fair and equal access to all authors.

Submissions received on or before August 1, 2014 will be considered for a colloquy edition on elder issues, but submissions are accepted year round.
