Credit points: 30
Subject outline
In this subject we aim to - (i) develop skills in, and a critical understanding of, the practical aspects of dispute resolution via negotiation, mediation and conciliation; and (ii) provide insights and skills in fostering community participation processes as a means of enhancing community development. Approximately half the unit is devoted to negotiation, mediation and dispute resolution of conflicts which arise in relation to development proposals. The issues that emerge from examining disputes and concerns that arise from development proposals are examined in order to provide a more advanced understanding of techniques for managing community conflicts and for fostering public participation in decision-making.
