Abstract

This paper is another one to point up the usefulness of the relative utility approach in conflict management. In this case, it relates to the problem of stalemate. In this approach, each party involved is asked to identify the objectives which it perceives as relevant to it in considering any joint action that might lead to cooperation or tempering of the conflict. From their statements on objectives, cues and insights may be obtained on how to get around their stances on issues – stances (often very heated) that have resulted in the existing stalemate. The objectives, of course, often lie behind the issues. Typically, the greater the disaggregation (the specificity) of each party’s objectives, particularly when hierarchically ordered, the more cues and useful insights that can result.
