LEGAL-JUSTICE, POWER-BARGAINING, AND SOCIAL SCIENCE INTERVENTION: MECHANISMS FOR SETTLING DISPUTES.
Abstract
The paper distinguishes between what are offered as fundamentally different mechanisms for settling intrasystem disputes: they assume different solution criteria; they utilize different types of conflict data and different types of data gathering and processing techniques; and involve different types of influence tactics. The distinctions among mechanisms and the propositions governing their use are applicable to a very wide range of social settings--including interpersonal (e.g. the family), interinstitutional (state-defense departments), intergroup (civil rights), international (U.N. mechanisms). If an increasingly persuasive case for this idea can be made, analysis of each setting can be a fruitful source of insight into and hypotheses about other settings. (Author)
