Artificial Intelligence and International Conflict in Cyberspace
This edited volume explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming international conflict in cyberspace. Over the past three decades, cyberspace developed into a crucial frontier and issue of international conflict.However, scholarly work on the relationship between AI and conflict in cyberspace has been produced along somewhat rigid disciplinary boundaries and an even more rigid sociotechnical divide – wherein technical and social scholarship are seldomly brought into a conversation.This is the first volume to address these themes through a comprehensive and cross-disciplinary approach.With the intent of exploring the question ‘what is at stake with the use of automation in international conflict in cyberspace through AI?’, the chapters in the volume focus on three broad themes, namely: (1) technical and operational, (2) strategic and geopolitical and (3) normative and legal.These also constitute the three parts in which the chapters of this volume are organised, although these thematic sections should not be considered as an analytical or a disciplinary demarcation. This book will be of much interest to students of cyber-conflict, AI, security studies and International Relations. The Open Access version of this book is available for free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual product page at www.routledge.com.It has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.

An Anatomy of Everyday Arguments : Conflict and Change through Insight
Interpersonal arguments carry the potential for defensiveness and hostility, making them enormously distressing and difficult to understand.An Anatomy of Everyday Arguments examines the structure and dynamics of conflict to find new ways forward. Marnie Jull analyzes four personal stories through the lens of the Insight approach, an innovative way to decipher and reshape the direction of everyday conflicts that draws from the theories of Bernard Lonergan.Jull dissects arguments that range from a quarrel about chores to a high-stakes organizational impasse, exploring the internal process of decision-making that shapes conflict behaviour within complex social contexts.Without dismissing the importance of responsible conflict, the Insight approach encourages people in the heat of an argument to engage less rashly with threat.Jull’s entertaining storytelling and meticulous analysis integrate findings from sociology, conflict resolution, interpersonal communication, psychology, facilitation, ethnography, anthropology, and qualitative research methodology. At a time of increasingly polarized global debate, the Insight approach lays the groundwork for new possibilities to emerge.An innovative text, An Anatomy of Everyday Arguments brings new theoretical work on conflict and change to life and demonstrates its practical applications.

Conflict Coaching Fundamentals : Working With Conflict Stories
We naturally create stories to help us make meaning of our world, but in conflict situations the kinds of stories we typically tell ourselves can actually make it harder for us to manage and resolve the conflict constructively.This book provides an accessible framework for understanding why people tell their conflict stories the way they do, and how to help them move away from conflict stories that prevent them from understanding and responding to conflict in an effective way.Presented using highly engaging and accessible cases, the book is designed to help people working with others in conflict to fully support them by understanding which areas of the conflict story to focus their attention on, and using practical techniques to support people to rewrite their story into a more constructive one to better manage the situation.The book also provides practical strategies to help people who are themselves in a conflict scenario to rewrite and enact a version of their conflict story that helps them to more constructively manage, and often resolve, their situation.A conflict management coaching system is introduced that is designed to address the particular problems created by dysfunctional conflict stories.This is a book specifically for those who work with people in conflict (mediators, conflict coaches, managers, lawyers, HR staff, teachers) and also for anyone who wishes to better understand their own experience of conflict.

What is the difference between an evaluation conflict, a relationship conflict, and a distribution conflict?
An evaluation conflict arises when there are differing opinions on the quality or effectiveness of work or ideas. This type of conflict is focused on the merit of the work itself. Relationship conflicts, on the other hand, involve interpersonal tensions and issues between individuals, often unrelated to the work itself. Distribution conflicts occur when there are disagreements over the allocation of resources, such as money, time, or responsibilities. Each type of conflict requires different approaches and strategies for resolution.

Can economic efficiency and productivity develop mutually?
Yes, economic efficiency and productivity can develop mutually. When businesses and industries become more efficient in their operations, they can produce more output with the same amount of input, leading to increased productivity. Similarly, when productivity increases, it can drive economic efficiency by reducing waste and improving resource allocation. Therefore, as businesses and industries focus on improving efficiency and productivity, they can reinforce and support each other's development.

The YMCA at War : Collaboration and Conflict during the World Wars
The Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) is best known for its athletic and youth programs, a heritage that draws on its origins in 1844 to provide wholesome recreation to urban youth away from the moral decay of industrialized urban living.Before long, that uplift mission found a place in the American Civil War, and soon the Y had spread all over the world by the early twentieth century, and in every major war thereafter as well.The YMCA at War: Collaboration and Conflict during the World Wars is the first collection of scholarship to examine the YMCA’s efforts during the World Wars of the twentieth century, which proved to be a bastion of support to soldiers and civilians around the world.The YMCA deployed hundreds of thousands of its much-vaunted secretaries to support suffering civilians and ease soldiers’ wartime hardships.Joining forces with governments, other civic organizations, and individuals, the Y could be either an indispensable auxiliary or an arms-length nuisance.In all cases, its support had a significant byproduct: for every person it befriended, the Y invariably made an enemy with an opposing party, its patrons, its sponsor, or at times, all three.The YMCA at War offers fresh, timely research in an international and comparative perspective from scholars around the world that evaluates this conflict and collaboration during the World Wars.

Critical Intercultural Pedagogy for Difficult Times : Conflict, Crisis, and Creativity
This collection lends a critical decolonising lens to intercultural communication research, bringing together perspectives on how forms of education embedded in the arts and humanities can open up intercultural understanding among young people in conditions of conflict and protracted crises. The book draws on case studies from a range of educational contexts in the Global South which engage in creative arts methodologies to foreground decolonising approaches to intercultural communication in which researchers question their own power in the research process.The volume offers intercultural resources that can be used by researchers and community support groups to foster active intercultural communication, dialogue, participation, and responsibility among young people in these settings and those who may be marginalised from them.The collection also highlights the reflexive accounts of researchers working in a transnational, interdisciplinary, and multilingual research network and the subsequent opportunities and challenges of working in such networks. Advocating for intercultural understanding among young people in higher education and a greater focus on social justice in intercultural communication research, this book will be of interest to students and researchers in applied linguistics, language education, intercultural education, and multilingualism.

Religious Hatred and Human Conflict : Psychodynamic Approaches to Insight and Intervention
Religious Hatred and Human Conflict focuses the lens of psychodynamic psychology on a phenomenon that often confounds conventional thinking – the intensity of conflict with religious or quasi-religious dimensions. The book highlights six dimensions of religion: identity, doctrine and practice, emotion and experience, mythology, sacred values and power and control, exploring how these can give rise to religious hatred and lead to marginalisation, persecution and even genocide.It also explores reasons for the evolution of religion and religious hatred, and their relationship with human behaviour through contemporary issues such as fundamentalism, martyrdom, clerical narcissism and apocalyptic belief.Acland examines how religious hatred and conflict may be transcended by facilitating processes of dialogue and diapraxis which enable a systematic understanding of prejudices and projections.Last, it offers practical methods and strategies for helping individuals and communities grow beyond the constraints of religious hatred, treating religious hatred as a psycho-spiritual problem that requires self-understanding. Identifying the implications for professionals in conflict resolution and mediation, politicians, community leaders, diplomats and anyone working to prevent or reduce conflict where religious belief is a factor, this book sets out how those tasked with intervening can respond to the challenges involved.It will also be highly relevant reading for students and researchers of psychology and religious studies.

What is the difference between interrole conflict and intrarole conflict?
Interrole conflict occurs when the expectations of different roles a person holds are in conflict with each other. For example, a person may experience interrole conflict when the demands of their work role conflict with the demands of their family role. On the other hand, intrarole conflict occurs when the expectations within a single role are in conflict with each other. For instance, a manager may experience intrarole conflict when they are torn between being supportive and being assertive with their team members. In summary, interrole conflict involves conflicts between different roles, while intrarole conflict involves conflicts within a single role.

What is the difference between a conflict and a social conflict?
A conflict is a general term that refers to any disagreement or struggle between two or more parties. It can be personal, professional, or societal in nature.

What is the difference between efficiency and productivity?
Efficiency refers to how well resources are utilized to achieve a specific goal or output, while productivity measures the output or results generated from a specific amount of input or resources. Efficiency focuses on minimizing waste and maximizing output with the resources available, while productivity is a measure of how much output is produced relative to the input used. In essence, efficiency is about doing things right, while productivity is about doing the right things.
-
What are the connections between efficiency and productivity?
Efficiency and productivity are closely connected in that efficiency refers to the ability to accomplish a task with minimal waste, effort, or cost, while productivity refers to the rate at which goods or services are produced. When a process or system is efficient, it can lead to increased productivity because it allows for more output to be generated with the same amount of input. Conversely, when productivity is high, it often indicates that the resources and processes are being used efficiently. Therefore, improving efficiency can lead to increased productivity, and vice versa, as they both contribute to the overall effectiveness of a business or organization.
