________________________________________
Special issue call for papers from International Journal of Conflict Management
The International Journal of Conflict Management publishes research on conflict management including original theoretical and empirical articles, and critical or integrative literature reviews relevant to the substantive domains served by the journal, including:
• Conflict
• Conflict management
• Dispute resolution
• Fairness
• Justice
• Mediation and arbitration

Scholarship from Chinese countries has been historically under-represented in our field. We would like to encourage more scholarship from China. Therefore, this special issue will be dedicated to publishing research on Chinese conflict management. This includes countries and regions where Chinese languages are most commonly spoken, e.g., China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore.
Manuscripts that provide theoretical insight regarding conflict management topics related to the cultures and peoples in this region are encouraged. In addition, manuscripts that are authored or coauthored by scholars in this region are encouraged. Moreover, scholarship that examines Chinese organizations that operate globally are also encouraged.
Thoughtful analyses about conflict management that spurs insightful reflections about the past, present, and future directions of conflict management research are encouraged. New insights, creative solutions, and innovative ideas as well scholarship that takes us in new directions are strongly encouraged.
Studies may use a variety of methodological techniques including: meta-analyses, laboratory studies, field studies, case studies, survey research, and analyses of archival data. Articles focused solely on a review of the literature and new theory development are also welcome, as are papers that present novel approaches to conflict management in this region.
Manuscripts should focus on the following criteria: Use clear exposition, be technically adequate; make a theoretical contribution (e.g., testing, creating, or extending theory); make an empirical contribution; be innovative, interesting, and novel; or have potential implications for practice.
