• Office of Personnel Management, ADR Resource Guide
  • In employee and labor relations and equal employment opportunity disputes, ADR has most commonly taken the form of mediation. However, there are many other options available including conciliation, cooperative problem-solving, dispute panels, facilitation, fact finding, interest-based problem solving and bargaining, settlement conferences, ombudsing, peer review, and alternative discipline. Alternative discipline as an ADR technique involves taking some type of action in lieu of traditional discipline to correct misconduct without resorting to more costly formal procedures and litigation. Parties can use any of these ADR techniques, combinations of them, or others not discussed in the Guide. In short, parties can design and implement virtually any form of ADR which suits their needs.

• PAX World Service
  •  Over thirty years ago, Luther Tyson and Jack Corbett created Pax World Fund Family as an avenue for the socially conscious investor to invest for both financial return and social impact. At the same time, they established Pax World Service, a non-profit philanthropic organization that allows Pax World Balanced Fund investors to support socially responsible activities around the world by designating a portion of their investment earnings (dividends and/or capital gains) or through direct contributions.
  • Throughout its history, Pax World Service has played a key role in the international peace and development arena. In 1998, Pax World Service formed a partnership with Mercy Corps, a leading relief and development agency with programs in nearly 30 countries.
  • Today, Pax World Service/Mercy Corps’ humanitarian programs strive to advance world peace, reconciliation and development in countries from Afghanistan to Eritrea. But they also look beyond the surface issues of hunger and disease to analyze and address underlying causes. Pax World Service/Mercy Corps believes it is critical not just to alleviate human suffering, but to ask why people are hungry, sick and dispossessed -- and then tackle those issues head on.

It is a collection constantly under development by the Jeannette Rankin Library Program as a means to strengthen worldwide access to information on peaceful means to end international conflict. The Institute's participation in the development of a digital library in international conflict management reflects its commitment to innovative technologies, collaboration and resource-sharing to strengthen preventive diplomacy, the management of international relations and the resolution of conflicts worldwide. This commitment is further reflected in the Institute's Virtual Diplomacy initiative which explores the role of information and communications technologies in international conflict resolution.
