    A History of Roger Fisher’s Single Negotiating Text and its Application by President Jimmy Carter to the Egyptian Israeli Conflict
    (University of Oregon, 2022-05-10) Simmons, Chloe; Frank, David
    Single negotiating text, also known as the one text method, is a method of mediation created by Roger Fisher which allows a mediator to easily bring parties involved in complex and contentious issues toward a solution. This method has been described most famously in Fisher and William Ury’s book, Getting to Yes, and was used in 1978 by President Jimmy Carter at Camp David to broker the lasting successful peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. In this paper, I will trace the history of the method itself through an in-depth analysis of Fisher and others’ texts about international conflict resolution as well as interviews from various colleagues of Fisher himself who have also used the single negotiating text method in their own work in international conflict resolution. All of these sources have pointed to how successful the one text method might be for complex negotiations, demonstrating that it should be used as a prominent tool in international mediation.

    Closing the Gap: Identifying and Defining Challenges Faced by Alternative Dispute Resolution Professionals as They Enter the Field
    (University of Oregon, 2015-08-18) Luna-Smith, Liana; Reynolds, Jennifer
    The definitive flexibility, informality, and diversity of use make alternative dispute resolution (ADR) a unique field that deserves the time and effort it will take to determine best practice for establishing it as a true profession. That being said, before we begin the battle for legitimization we must not forget the heart and soul of the field, its practitioners. In the face of the unsure status of ADR as a field, there are many barriers currently affecting potential practitioners of ADR preventing the success of both these new members and the field itself.

    Solved cases and conflict resolution: Analyzing the Need for ADR techniques in intergroup communication in the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Crisis
    (University of Oregon, 2022-02-18) Mccourt, Samantha; Girvan, Erik
    This project focuses on analyzing language through Critical Incident Analysis to discern whether or not miscommunication, and lack of trust, could be contributing to the staggering number of missing indigenous women’s cases that remain unsolved by analyzing the difference of experiences between those with solved and unsolved cases. The goal is to explore whether ADR techniques potentially could help by changing the communication, and trust, established with information shared through intergroup communication. This exploratory research hopes to look at whether intergroup communication factors could be connected to positive or negative outcomes.
