Document Summary
De-escalation only occurs when the parties are at a stalemate and both sides are being harmed by continuing the con ict. Neither party can escalate the con ict further. Look at the con ict in a new way. Institutions to help limit con ict and encourage compromise. Putting in the norms of con ict (don"t be extreme) Using diplomacy to limit the effects of con ict before it occurs. The fear of escalation can keep parties in check. Establishment of relationships (trust, friendship, even positive trade relations) Decrease in severity of the coercive means. Process that progresses in a step-by-step fashion. Reframing the con ict so a mutually bene cial solution seems ideal. Once people have made conciliatory gestures, their previous goals seem foolish. Entrapment - yielding previous goals to match with their previous conciliatory actions (investing in calming the situation) Third parties become involved when parties feel like their actions are unjust.
