Welcome to the Institute for the Study of Conflict Transformation
fulfilling the promise of mediation
The Institute for the Study of Conflict Transformation (ISCT)
is the nation's premier center of expertise on the
transformative framework.
The ISCT was founded in 1999 to study and promote understanding of conflict and intervention processes from the transformative perspective. The ISCT supports and provides a forum for the work of scholars and practitioners in the conflict intervention field who approach conflict from a transformative view.
This view and its implications for conflict intervention were first described in The Promise of Mediation by Robert A. Baruch Bush and Joseph P. Folger, published in 1994 and articulated once again in the revised edition of The Promise of Mediation in 2005.
Through all of its activities, the ISCT seeks to promote responses to conflict that help transform it from a negative and destructive force to a positive and constructive part of the dynamic of human interaction.
The Institute for the Study of Conflict Transformation is a tax-exempt, not-for-profit corporation, and is affiliated with a consortium of universities, including Hofstra University School of Law, University of North Dakota, Temple University, and James Madison University.
