Abstract
The rapid and unexpected changes in the Former Soviet Union and central Europe in 1989–91 perhaps caught western observers by surprise as much as the 1917 revolution had. Within a short period of time western governments and NGOs geared up to provide expertise and advice to the new governments (and the wider society). In this chapter, Miek Boltjes examines the efforts of the Conflict Management Group to introduce Roger Fisher’s approach to conflict resolution and to help the new governments cope with potentially explosive ethnic conflict.
