Beyond Intractability: A Free Knowledge Base on More Constructive Approaches to Destructive Conflict

Funding Acknowledgements

Funding for this project has been supplied by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. Without their extremely generous and strong support, this project would not have happened.

In addition, many of the project participants provided "in-kind" funding by volunteering their time to write papers, provide interviews, and to review and critique the system.

Our thanks go to all of the 100+ people involved, as well as to the Hewlett Foundation for making this project possible.

The problem in defense is how far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without. -- Dwight D. Eisenhower
