The least preferred strategies that is unattractive to me is the using power to resolve the conflict and withdrawal from the conflict. The using power to resolve the conflict is unattractive to me, because it can an individual to persuade others to follow a particular path of action. Also, this strategy can cause an individual so seek revenge on the individuals who has defeated them (Gladding, 2016). I find withdrawal from the conflict unattractive because it can cause a conflict to escalate if the leader decides to delay an intervention. In addition, this type of strategy is shown to be unsuccessful in dealing with individuals in a crisis situation.
All war has the simple objective of making the enemy bend to one's own will. All losses inflicted upon the enemy, all injuries imposed, and all ammunition expended serve the purpose of changing the enemy's mind. When leaders can change an enemy's mind without firing a round, they secure victory while preserving lives and resources on both sides. Psychological warfare has been practiced to this end since the earliest accounts of conflict.
Certain leaders deal with challenges and solve them in the end. When confronted with a conflict people like Sir Winston churchill will solve and deal with their difficult situations. In the quote “I say it is to wage war by land, sea, and air. War with all of our might and with all the strength God has given us…” is proving that he deals with his situations very seriously. As a result of Churchill’s ability to resolve conflict, he will most likely be able to complete his tasks about his problems. People like Sir Winston Churchill will find conflict straightforward to deal with.
The United States sought to convey their commitment to toppling Saddam through many avenues. President Bush created severe audience costs for himself. By denouncing Iraq on the world stage and committing to certain demands, Bush effectively tied his hands and backing down would have been politically costly for him (FLS 2016, 115). Bush also used crisis bargaining, defined by Frieden, Lake, and Schultz as threatening the use of force if demands are not met, and coercive diplomacy, defined Frieden, Lake, and Schultz as using threats to influence
Casual Analysis: Arrival of President and Death of Colonel Conflict can cause many unfortunate happenings like war, death, and sorrow. Sometimes conflict has to happen to resolve an issue. Many people try to avoid conflict only to find themselves still in it. Can conflict resolve an issue or does it make the issue worse?
Two key concepts that have become apparent in my everyday life, when dealing with conflict climate during my tenure in the navy are Abilene Paradox and thromise. Abilene Paradox results from mismanaged agreement; when people disagree with the decision being made; they do not voice their opinion and just go along with the decision(Cahn & Abigail, 2014, p. 149). Thromise is best defined as a message that sounds like a promise(Cahn & Abigail, 2014, p. 138); however it functions like a threat because there is plenty of repercussion for the recipient who does not comply.

How should leaders approach the ideas of peace and war? This question has fascinated those in positions of power for ages. Ancient Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu believes that war should only take place in the direst of situations and should not be considered virtuous (61; sec. 31). On the contrary, Niccolo Machiavelli, a fifteenth-century Italian philosopher, states, “A prince, therefore, must not have any other object nor any other thought, nor must he take anything as his profession but war…” (86). While Lao-Tzu formulates an ideal approach to war and Machiavelli a practical one, neither one of their strategies would be effective in the real world; leaders must conduct their military with a balance of serenity and brutality.
Political Violence has been affiliated with governments and nations since the beginning of political history and plays a huge role in the causes of Wars around the world. What causes leaders to declare war? Many philosophers have based their studies and theories on this question; many have different perspectives. One philosopher, John Stoessinger, has expressed his theories on the causes of war through what he calls his “misperception framework.” Stoessinger shows great interests in the personalities of world leaders; he is less impressed with the roles of abstract forces such as nationalism, militarism, economic factors, or alliance systems as the causes of
Finally, the scenario involving Bradley is about to come to an end. Three different crisis negotiation techniques will be utilized in an attempt to bring about a peaceful resolution, one that ends in a non-lethal manner. The three crisis negotiation strategies that will be used in the conclusion of the scenario are, persuasion, suggestion techniques and talk to me (effective communication) strategy. These three techniques utilize the elements reassurance and trust. The effective communication or talk to me strategy, “emphasizes communication as an essential police negotiation technique for their crisis negotiators, and for good reason.
Frequently showcased by history and media as the villainous leaders, people who imply this tactic don’t usually win popularity contests. Hitler used the tactic of instilling fear into his allies so that they had no choice but to follow him. Then those, like Michael Jordan whose reputation
Theoretically significant to conflict is social identity theory. It allows “predictions to incorporate who is likely to perceive and act in group terms, to remain committed to the group in times of crisis” Turner (1999), Doosje & Ellemers, (1999). Bar-Tal stresses conflict exists when an incompatible goal exists between two groups. The question of when incompatibility sets become important in understanding the cause of inter-ethnic or communal conflicts for instance, even more importantly; conflict within ingroup. Inter-ethnic or communal conflict because within the scope of peacebuilding, that is the point where building peace thrives the most. There is an assumption that for peacebuilding to be
The Collaborating tactic may be used when your whole objective on the conflict is to learn. Also it is a good idea to use the Collaborating tactic when you want to work through feeling that have interfered with the relationship with the other person in the conflict. Competing tactic is excellent when you want to cut the through all of the non sense and get to a resolution of the conflict quickly. When quick decisive resolutions are very important, or when people attempt to disagree with you and your right without a doubt. The last tactic that Rahim and Magner talk about is the Compromising tactic. This is good for when, goals are important to you but they are not worth all the trouble they may cause. To achieve rather quick and easy resolutions to rather complex disagreements
Alternatively, the high power party may simply refuse to enter into a negotiation, because they have no need to. They can get what they want without compromising, or in any way giving in to the other side. So they pursue their alternative(s) to negotiation, which usually involve persuasion and/or force. However, advocates of the low-power side might refer to any effort at persuasion as co-optation or propaganda.

Coevolutionary war gaming is a very valuable tool in group decision making as well as strategic planning, because it allows for going beyond the current situation by developing reactionary scenarios by those affected by decisions taken. Based on these scenarios, objective assessments can be made to revise initial plans and come up with more rational and effective decisions, not just for short-term considerations but for the medium- and even long-term as well. Decisions based on "cause-and-effect" are the best decisions that can be made.
