Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
Abstract
It is not unusual for a disaster or crisis to give rise to increasing tensions, interpersonal disputes and general conflict; however, even after an unexpected disaster of the magnitude of the 9/11 attacks, mobilizing conflict resolution services was not a priority for conflict professionals. In the wake of 9/11, mediators, arbitrators and other conflict resolvers were primarily concerned, like their fellow citizens, with their own safety and the safety of their families. When the fear of harm from additional attacks eventually subsided, many who had not been directly affected turned their attention to assisting those less fortunate who had lost their homes, their jobs or their loved ones.
