CMD Domain Statement

Our domain statement is very broad and includes:

• The nature and management of conflicts at the individual, group, organizational, inter-organizational and societal level

• Power processes including influence, coalitions, coercion, deterrence, and persuasion

• Bargaining and negotiation, negotiator characteristics and behaviours

• Collaboration and competition

• Third party interventions (such as facilitation, arbitration, mediation)
