Oliver Ramsbotham is a Consultant on Oxford Research Group's (ORG) Strategic Peacebuilding Programme (formerly Middle East Programme). He was Chair of the Board from April 2007 until July 2013.

Oliver is a specialist on conflict resolution and designed an original approach to handling 'intractable' conflict, which he calls ‘radical disagreement’. This approach both informs - and is informed by - ORG's ongoing work with the Palestinian Strategic Group and the Israeli Strategic Forum.

In addition to many articles, he has published books relevant to all three areas of ORG's programme activity. These include books on nuclear deterrence, alternative defence options, and peacekeeping in the area of sustainable security, as well as books on dialogue and the management of radical disagreement in the Middle East, including 'Transforming Violent Conflict: Radical Disagreement, Dialogue and Survival' (2010). He is also the author of Contemporary Conflict Resolution, with Hugh Miall and Tom Woodhouse (2011) (third edition).

► Academic Workshop: Critical Dialogues: Dialogue and Conflict Resolution

Dialogue Society and the Journal of Dialogue Studies organised a workshop on Nov 28, 2019 in London addressing the topic of ‘Critical Dialogues: Dialogue and Conflict Resolution’. As a tool of conflict resolution, dialogue can take on many different shapes and can be moulded to respond to each conflict. In some cases, it becomes a tent that gives shelter to both sides, creating an environment of peace and security; in some other cases, it becomes a ship that saves the parties from the results of the conflict. In all these shapes and forms, dialogue constructs an aura facilitating parties to settle their incompatible differences.

In this workshop we had 15 papers critically addressing the role of dialogue/s in resolution of different types/forms of conflicts, from military to inner (psychological and psychosocial) conflicts of individuals. The workshop highlighted four themes related to the concept of dialogue. These are:

► Intercultural Dialogue and Conflict
► Dialogue, Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding
► Dialogue, Conflict and Education
► Dialogue and Conflict in a Changing World
