What is it about?
After conflict between two states, it is recommended that conflict resolution be pursued. However, the way conflict is resolved across cultures is suggested to differ. Our research tests this assumption by comparing principles and practices of how Muslims and Westerners understand and practice conflict resolution. Then we use a sample of respondents to test our findings of comparability.

Why is it important?
Our research finds that Muslims and Westerners share many principles and practices of conflict resolution when resolving conflict at the state level. Our findings, as a result, contradict mainstream assumptions on the matter.
Perspectives
Our research suggests that there are many similarities in understanding of conflict resolution at the higher levels between Muslim and Western practices. We wish to call more attention to the similarities and encourage others to further test our findings.
