CALL FOR PAPERS
NEGOTIATION AND CONFLICT MANAGEMENT RESEARCH
SPECIAL ISSUE
NEW THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES ON CONFLICT AND NEGOTIATION
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: October 31, 2010
Guest Editor
Matthew A. Cronin, School of Management, George Mason University
Empirical work on conflict and negotiation has continued to grow in many fruitful directions. Yet without coherent theories it will be difficult to make sense of this growing body of work, re-evaluate our prior assumptions, and discover what new questions are critical to further our understanding,. We therefore invite submissions to this special "theory only" issue of NCMR. We will be very open to the ways in which theory is presented, and as such, formal modeling or simulation based methods are welcome, as would be hybrids of these with traditional theory building.
Articles could develop new theory, possibly by systematic analysis of gaps in our current knowledge base or by synthesizing and integrating newer streams of research. For example one could write about latent conflicts as an underdeveloped area, synthesize justice research with conflict typologies, or potentially provide new integration of the burgeoning emotions research with negotiation tactics. Such articles can create or expand domains of study.
We also welcome well crafted arguments that challenge existing theories or wisdom. For example, one could challenge the idea that in negotiation, one should use more interests than rights, and more rights than power. Such articles can push scholars to critically re-examine and refine some of our foundational knowledge.
Finally, we invite scholars to consider writing about how the study of conflict or negotiation itself can be improved. For example, one might propose a framework for bridging the lab and field worlds, or could pose new conceptual frameworks for how to generate different kinds of knowledge that would be useful for negotiation scholars. Such articles are more conceptual than methodological – they should help improve the quality of the knowledge that researchers create.
Submissions will be chosen by January 27, 2011, so there will be a quick turnaround on submitted articles.
