1.   Das Harvard-Konzept

Das Harvard-Konzept ist eine Verhandlungsmethode, die den größtmöglichen beiderseitige Nutzen anstrebt. Neben der sachlichen Übereinkunft soll die persönliche Beziehung gewahrt bleiben. Es wird darauf geachtet, zwischen zwei Ebenen der Kommunikation unterschieden:

  • Sachinhalt (Reale Ebene – dem Thema der anzustrebenden Übereinkunft) und
  • Verhandlungsführung (der Meta-Ebene). Auf beiden Ebenen dreht es sich um vier wesentliche Verhandlungs-Kriterien:
  1. Menschen und ihre Interessen (Sachfragen) voneinander unterscheiden
  2. Sich auf die Interessen der Beteiligten, nicht auf ihre Positionen konzentrieren
  3. Entscheidungsoptionen (Auswahlmöglichkeiten) entwickeln
  4. Objektive Beurteilungskriterien (gesetzliche Regelungen, ethische Normen usw.) beachten

2.   Konfliktlösung – Mut

DAS ENDE DES KRIEGS

"Meine Augen brannten und während ich rannte und ein Polizist hinter mir herlief, hörte ich dieses laute, scharfe Geräusch. Sie feuerten in die Menge. Ich dachte, ich müsse sterben. Plötzlich wurde ich sehr ruhig. Ich wollte nicht mehr weglaufen, also wurde ich langsamer und der Polizist rannte an mir vorbei und verfolgte jemand anderen. Wenn ich sterben sollte, dann würde ich es mit Würde tun, bewusst und so begann ich sehr langsam die Straße wieder hinaufzugehen, den Schüssen entgegen. Alle anderen liefen weg. Um mich herum gab es nur Panik und Bewegung, aber ich war die Ruhe im Zentrum.
Ich ging geradewegs auf einen der Soldaten zu, die auf uns feuerten und sah ihn nur an, sah in seine Augen.
Ich wollte sehen, wer es war, der mich töten würde."


Maya sah sich im Kreis um. Aber keiner rührte sich.
"Er war jung und ungefähr in meinem Alter. Seine Augen waren braun, wie meine, und ich sah, dass er Angst hatte, so wie ich auch Angst hatte. Wir waren beide gleich. Plötzlich wusste ich das, und er wusste es auch. Ich konnte es in seinem Gesicht erkennen. Seine Hände zitterten und er nahm das Gewehr herunter. Da wusste ich, was wirklich einen Krieg beenden würde."

Starhawk, feministische Autorin, USA, Das fünfte Geheimnis, 1993

3.2   Zitate allgemein

Liebt eure Feinde und tut denen Gutes, die euch hassen.
Jesus, laut Lukas 6, 27 (NT)

 

  • Der Ursprung aller Konflikte zwischen mir und meinen Mitmenschen ist, dass ich nicht sage, was ich meine, und dass ich nicht tue, was ich sage. Martin Buber (1878-1965), jüdischer Religionsforscher und -philosoph

 

  • Das Maß für den geistigen Standort eines Menschen ist das Ausmaß, in dem er sich im Widerstreit mit der Welt befindet. Dr. Stylianos Atteshlis, genannt Daskalos

 

  • Wir hassen in anderen, seien es Einzelpersonen oder Völker, nur das, was wir in uns selbst nicht annehmen können. […] Wir benötigen unsere Feinde zur eigenen Vervollständigung. […]
    Je weniger wir uns bedroht fühlen, um so eher betrachten wir unsere ehemaligen "Feinde" als "Gegner." Mit den ersten Anzeichen positiver gegenseitiger Wertschätzung werden "Gegner" zu "Rivalen", indem jeder den anderen als heimlichen Lehrer anerkennt. Wenn "Rivalen" schließlich ihre wechselseitige Abhängigkeit bestätigen, würdigen sie sich als "Partner."  […]
    Wir werden über den weltweiten Bürgerkrieg hinauswachsen müssen, nicht indem wir uns  angesichts eines neuen Feindes mit unseren ehemaligen Feinden verbünden, sondern indem wir uns ausgiebig über unsere Gegner erkundigen, um deren Verschiedenheit, die uns bei unseren ersten hautnahen Begegnungen so verängstigt und verärgert hat, mit Nachsicht zu begegnen. Robert W. Fuller, Ph.D., A Better Game Than War.

Three fundamental insights of changing one's lifeDr. David D. Burns

  1. I am triggering the very behavior in the person/s I am not getting along with.
  2. I fail to see my self-deception / self-denial – I have pushed the person/s away. I am responsible for experiencing a lack of intimacy.
  3. I focus my energy on taking self-responsibility for my relationships so they may be transformed into to loving ones.

 

3.4  Zitate – Kriegskunst von General Sunzi

 

  • Die Kunst des Krieges ist für den Staat von entscheidender Bedeutung. Sie ist eine Angelegenheit von Leben und Tod, eine Straße, die zur Sicherheit oder in den Untergang führt. Deshalb darf sie unter keinen Umständen vernachlässigt werden. Sunzi (Sun Tsu), chinesischer General, Militärstratege, Die Kunst des Krieges, Eingangssatz, 6. Jht. v.Chr.

 

  • Dein großes Ziel im Krieg soll der Sieg sein und kein langwieriger Feldzug. So kann es heißen, dass der Anführer der Armeen der Schiedsrichter über das Schicksal des Volkes ist. Der Mann, von dem es abhängt, ob die Nation in Frieden oder in Gefahr lebt. Sunzi (Sun Tsu), chinesischer General, Militärstratege, Die Kunst des Krieges, Eingangssatz, 6. Jht. v.Chr.

 

  • Wenn du den Feind und dich selbst kennst, brauchst du den Ausgang von hundert Schlachten nicht zu fürchten.
    Wenn du dich selbst kennst, doch nicht den Feind, wirst du für jeden Sieg, den du erringst, eine Niederlage erleiden.
    Wenn du weder den Feind noch dich selbst kennst, wirst du in jeder Schlacht unterliegen. Sunzi (Sun Tsu), chinesischer General, Militärstratege, Die Kunst des Krieges, Eingangssatz, 6. Jht. v.Chr.

 

 

3.5   Zitate (engl.) – Kriegskunst / War strategies


 

General Sun Tzu

  • 知己知彼 百戰不殆 (知彼知己,百战不殆
    If you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a thousand battles without a single loss. If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose. If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself. Sun Tzu (544 BCE-496 BCE) Chinese military commander, The Art of War, 6th century BC
    Note, knowing both sides doesn't guarantee winning.

 

  • All warfare is based on deception. Sun Tzu, (544 BCE-496 BCE), Chinese military commander, The Art of War, 6th century BC

 

  • For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill. Sun Tzu (544 BCE-496 BCE), Chinese military commander, The Art of War, 6th century BC

 

  • Subtle and insubstantial, the expert leaves no trace; divinely mysterious, he is inaudible. Thus he is master of his enemy's fate.
    • Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate. Sun Tzu, (544 BCE-496 BCE), Chinese military commander, The Art of War, 6th century BC

 

  • He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot will be victorious. Sun Tzu, (544 BCE-496 BCE), Chinese military commander, The Art of War, 6th century BC

 

 

  • Too frequent rewards indicate that the general is at the end of his resources; too frequent punishments that he is in acute distress. Sun Tzu (544 BCE-496 BCE) Chinese military commander, The Art of War, 6th century BC

 

  • The best victory is when the opponent surrenders of its own accord before there are any actual hostilities. [...] It is best to win without fighting. Sun Tzu, (544 BCE-496 BCE), Chinese military commander, The Art of War, 6th century BC

 

  • When the leader is morally weak and his discipline not strict, when his instructions and guidance are not enlightened, when there are no consistent rules, neighboring rulers will take advantage of this. Sun Tzu, (544 BCE-496 BCE), Chinese military commander, The Art of War, 6th century BC

 

  • In all history, there is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare. Only one who knows the disastrous effects of a long war can realize the supreme importance of rapidity in bringing it to a close. Sun Tzu, (544 BCE-496 BCE), Chinese military commander, The Art of War, 6th century BC

 

3.6  Zitate (engl.) – Makrokonflikt Krieg / Macro conflict and War

 

  • There are three principles in a man's being and life, the principle of thought, the principle of speech, and the principle of action. The origin of all conflict between me and my fellow-men is that I do not say what I mean and I don't do what I say. Martin Buber

 

  • We only hate in others – whether in individuals or whole peoples – what we cannot accept in ourselves. […] We need our enemies in order to complete ourselves. […]
    As the sense of threat diminishes, we redesignate our former "enemies" as "adversaries." With the first hint of positive mutual value, "adversaries" become "rivals," a term which acknowledges each as a secret teacher of the other. Finally "rivals," recognizing their mutual dependency, come to see themselves as "partners."  […]
    We'll have to transcend global civil war not by allying ourselves with former enemies in the face of a new enemy, but by learning enough about our adversaries to establish forbearance for the differences that have, during these first close encounters, so scared and agitated us. Robert Fuller, A Better Game Than War. Understanding the origin of our "fear of the other," may lead us to the elimination of war, Magazine In Context, The Foundations Of Peace (IC#4), David Hoffman, pg. 18, Autumn 1983

 

  • With even a modest diminution of fear, we re-conceive our enemies as adversaries. With a hint of mutual value, adversaries become rivals – a term acknowledging each party's role as a teacher of the other. Finally, by recognizing their mutual dependency, rivals begin to see themselves as partners. By this time, comity has replaced enmity, and incivility is out of fashion. […]
    As fear subsides, and we gain confidence to protest against the indignities that befall us and apologize for those we ourselves commit, we deny hate the hothouse required for its gestation. Robert Fuller, From Enmity to Comity: Restoring Civility and Pride to American Life, presented by Huffingtonpost, 20. October 2009

 

  • The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate. That is to say, when the individual remains undivided [not in touch with both the light AND the dark parts of themselves] and does not become conscious of his inner opposite, the world must per force act out the conflict and be torn into opposing halves. Carl Gustav Jung

 

  • We first kill people with our minds, before we kill them with weapons. Whatever the conflict, the enemy is always the destroyer. We're on God's side; they're barbaric. We're good, they're evil. War gives us a feeling of moral clarity that we lack at other times. Sam Keen, professor for religion and philosophy

 

  • It is important to meet people who think differently from you. I went from a man of war to a man of peace. Ted Turner (*1938) media-mogul, founder of CNN, philanthropist, Just call me Ted, co-authored by Bill Burke, 2008

 

  • It's our tendency to approach every problem as if it were a fight between two sides. We see it in headlines that are always using metaphors for war. It's a general atmosphere of animosity and contention that has taken over our public discourse. Deborah Tannen (*1945) US American sociolinguist, specialized in linguistic gender differences

 

  • I hate war, as only a soldier who has lived it can, as only one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity. Dwight D. Eisenhower

 

  • I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. Albert Einstein

 

  • I hate war [...] as only a soldier who has lived it can, as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity. Dwight Eisenhower

 

  • The essential catalyst for triggering, hastening, and maintaining change to a warless society – is the global empowerment of women. When women occupy roughly half of the seats of power in legislative bodies entrusted to make decisions about war and peace – whether to fight or to compromise, to contain or to conquer – men's innate urges for physically aggressive confrontation will be tempered. What will not work is token female representation – placing a few women here and there in responsible positions. This will not tip the balance against the majority of men who are too ready to be drawn into physical struggles for domination. Only when women have a roughly 50/50 partnership with men in fully mature, liberal democracies will the world permanently take its fingers off the trigger. At present (2005), none of the world's democracies, let alone oligarchies or tyrannies, have reached that fully mature point. Our most influential powers (the United States, China, France, Germany, Great Britain, Israel, Japan, Russia), continue to be patriarchal light-years from male/female parity. […]
    The female preference for choosing social stability over conflict has a second, critical benefit. Judith L. Hand, evolutionary biologist, animal behaviorist (ethologist), novelist, pioneer in the emerging field of peace ethology, author of Women, Power, and the Biology of Peace [2003], The Pivotal Catalyst for Change and Longterm Stability

 

  • In a cross-cultural study sponsored by the World Bank and reported in The Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, David Dollar, Raymond Fisman, and Roberta Gatti found that governments with more women in power had less corruption. Swedes, who have a legislature that is roughly 45% women, grant paternity leave for fathers and lead the world in fighting sex trafficking. […]
    When the American Senate voted to support the second Iraq war, only thirteen percent of the Senators were women, and the Senate's response speaks for itself. It is reasonable to assume that when half the individuals in a governing body are female, the shift in preference favoring nonviolence and social stability would be pervasive in all aspects of decision-making, not just in decisions about war and peace. Judith L. Hand, evolutionary biologist, animal behaviorist (ethologist), novelist, pioneer in the emerging field of peace ethology, author of Women, Power, and the Biology of Peace [2003], The Pivotal Catalyst for Change and Longterm Stability

 

  • War is caused by leaders who focus and motivate the willingness of soldiers to kill outside their group or community. Restless young males, however, do challenge the stability of all cultures. They are the single most disruptive elements in any society, and they are particularly prone to create social turmoil (and crime) when they are unmarried or unemployed and before they have children of their own. One traditional solution to "the problem of young men" across many cultures has been to put them into military service or to send them off (out of the community) to war. This keeps them occupied during the most volatile stage of their lives. Training under the discipline of older men has an additional advantage: it shapes youthful excesses into behavior acceptable for adult men. Judith L. Hand, evolutionary biologist, animal behaviorist (ethologist), novelist, pioneer in the emerging field of peace ethology, author of Women, Power, and the Biology of Peace [2003], Enlist Young Men

 

 

  • Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. George Orwell

 

  • Killing Japanese [in WWII] didn't bother me very much at that time. [...] I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal. [...] Every soldier thinks something of the moral aspects of what he is doing. But all war is immoral and if you let that bother you, you're not a good soldier. Curtis E. LeMay (1906-1990) US American Air Force General

 

  • It is easier to start wars than to end them. It is easier to blame others than to look inward; to see what is different about someone than to find the things we share. But we should choose the right path, not just the easy path. There is also one rule that lies at the heart of every religion – that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us. This truth transcends nations and peoples – a belief that isn't new; that isn't black or white or brown; that isn't Christian, or Muslim or Jew. It's a belief that pulsed in the cradle of civilization, and that still beats in the heart of billions. It's a faith in other people. Barack Obama, 44th US president, President Obama Addresses Muslim World in Cairo, Washington Post, Thursday, 4. June 2009

4.1   Prisoner's dilemma

Robert Axelrod, Professor of Political Science and Public Policy, has been engaged to consult and lecture at the United Nations, the World Bank, the U.S. Department of Defense. In 1997 he has published The Complexity of Cooperation. Agent-Based Models of Competition and Collaboration.

 

Axelrod has clearly demonstrated several principles of competition and collaboration at work in a computer game called Prisoner's dilemma.
He and other testers found that "Tit for Tat with forgiveness" strategy was the most beneficial. It is a mix of the policies "an eye for an eye" and "turn the other cheek". Defecting as in cheating and doing evil never won the game in the long run. The principle to strike the unruly dog immediately was confirmed by Axelrod.

 

In respect to the top-scoring (most beneficial) strategies Axelrod came to the following conclusion:
Successful "prisoners" faced with the dilemma to "defect or cooperate" with their opponent chose to act friendly, retaliate attackers immediately (briefly), forgive them and not to envy others – for their own sake including the sake of all.

 

The most successful strategies in human conflicts with many unknowns are:

  1. Be friendly. Do not defect ("cheat") before your opponent does. No pre-emptive strikes! Be as innocent as a dove.
  2. Retaliate strikes as soon as possible when necessary. Given that "nasty" players tend to exploit ruthlessly it is not beneficial to cooperate at any rate. Be as clever as a snake.
  3. Forgive your opponent as soon as they end to play defects. This saves all involved of the long runs of revenge and counter-revenge.
  4. Don't be greedy and don't envy. Do not strive to score more than the opponent.

 

4.2   Effektive Kommunikation – Communicating effectively

Five skills of effective communication / conflict resolveDr. David D. Burns

 

Psychiatrist and early proponent of Cognitive Psychology and its offshoot, Positive Psychology, Burns promotes the E-A-R principle

E Empathy (YOU) expressed as Disarming skills (item 1.-3.)

A Assertiveness (ME)
R Respect (US)

 

  1. Thought empathyParaphrase what your partner says. – (YOU)
    Find truth in critical comments.
  2. Feeling empathyAcknowledge what your partner feels. – (YOU)
  3. InquiryAsk your partner general probing questions to get to know them better. – (YOU)
  4. Assertiveness skillShare your own feelings with your partner ("I feel xxx..."). – (ME)
  5. Conveying respectStroke your partner even in the heat of the argument. – (US)

 

4.3   Creating a village as strong as war

[…] pick the maggots off my skin
and burnish the gold that lies within.
This will renew … my sacred core.
Can we create a village as strong as a war?
Source: Michael Meade, storyteller, author, mythologist,  Voices of Vets

 

4.4   Overcoming Anger

President Abraham Lincoln who struggled with his depression held together the opposites of darkness and light in his own psyche as well as his country at his time.
At a special prayer day he had asked the troops of the north to pray also for the south troops. To his critics who felt that this is undermining the moral of the troops he said:

We need to be able to remain human even though we are fighting this war.

 

There was one of Lincoln's very rare outbursts of anger in 'Soldiers Home', a cottage in the country on a high hill, where Lincoln ruminated on emancipation proclamations and more.
An officer came to him in need as his wife had drowned in a ferry boat in the Potomac river. Lincoln reacted infuriated due to the disturbance:

Why do you bring that up to me?
Go have someone else in the White House deal with it!

 

Following night Lincoln could not sleep all night. He sat up that night and recognized his mistake. The next morning he took care to find the hotel where the officer stayed in. He knocked at the door and apologized to the man assuring him:

We will find your wife!

4.5   From a war room mentality to a peace room mentality

Soviet-American Dialogues for Peace
Envisioned by Ramah Vernon, during the final stage of the Cold War, 1988

Head of the Soviet military
accompanied by 16 military members

Dr. Victor Vernon Woolf Holodynamics
accompanied by Barbara Marx Hubbard and 2 ministers

Linear War mentality
has no solutions.

Nonlinear Peace mind
offers solutions for unfolding potential.

War is inevitable!
[screaming, pounding with fists – speaking in Russian, translated into English]
War is not inevitable!
What is inevitable, sir, is life's potential will unfold itself.
And your moral and ethical responsibility, sir, is to help yourself, your comrades, your families, your country, your entire nation to become part of the family of nations to help that life potential to unfold, sir!"

[switching into the Russian mode – screaming louder, pounding harder with fists]
The Russian general looked at Woolf puzzled.
_____________________________________________
He burst out laughing. [The war mode spell was broken.]
Woolf looked at the general, smiled, and winked.
Ah yes, but how does one unfold that potential?
[speaking in English]
Now we can begin to discuss these things.
[pleased]
The integration of the whole dynamic knowledge is needed in Russia more than anything else.
Soviet Communism declined peacefully in 1990-91.
Woolf was invited to work with 14 Soviet academies installed by the ministries during the Russian transition period after the silent fall of communism in the 90ties. He supported them for 9 years and trained several 100 Holodynamics teachers in Russia.

They became good friends ever since.

4.6   The futility of squabbling

Once upon a time there were two monks who had lived together for forty years
and never had a squabble. Not even once.
One day, one monk said to the other:
"Don't you think it's about time we had a squabble, even if it's just once?"
"Sure," replied the other monk.
"Let's get started right away. About what shall we squabble?"
"About this piece of bread perhaps?" the first monk offered.
"OK, let's have a squabble over this bread. How are we going to go about this?" asked the other again.
"This bread is mine, and mine alone," said the first monk.
"Oh yeah? Well you can keep it," said the second monk.
Anthony de Mello SJ (1931-1987) Indian Catholic Jesuit priest, psychotherapist, spiritual leader
