Bücher von William A. Donohue

An analysis of the history of the American Civil Liberties Union, this book represents an account of the ACLU's record.

A sequel to William A. Donohue's "The Politics of the American Civil Liberties Union", but with a marked change in emphasis. Instead of challenging the ACLU's non-partisan reputation, he now seeks to demonstrate why and how recent ACLU policy undermines the process of liberty.

This book explores the process of interpersonal conflict - from the initial decision as to whether or not to confront differences through to how to plan the actual confrontation. It deals extensively with negotiation and, where negotiation proves unsuccessful, with third-party dispute resolution.To avoid destructive or violent behaviour, Donohue emphasizes the importance of keeping conflicts under control and of focusing on the pertinent issues. He argues that the key to managing conflict is to address differences collaboratively so that the parties can create better solutions and, ultimately, strengthen their relationships.
