Culture defined by national borders is one conceptualization; culture defined by gender, religion, lifestyles, careers, and generations are also predictors of what, how, and when someone communicates, as well as interprets, and responds. What refers to communication content: meaning the speaker conveys and meaning the listener interprets. How refers to linguistic style, nonverbal cues, context dependence, and communication medium. When refers to temporal patterns such as timing, pacing, and temporal horizons.</span></font></p><p><font face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size: 14px;">We invite empirical and conceptual submissions addressing culture and communication in diverse negotiation and conflict management contexts including topics such as:</span></font></p><ul><li><font face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Case studies or comparative culture analyses of negotiators’ or mediators’ communication repertoires in understudied populations (e.g., Africa, South America, religious groups);</span></font></li></ul><ul><li><font face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Communication adjustment/adaptation, cultural interpreters, and role of language in cross- cultural negotiation and conflict resolution;</span></font></li></ul><ul><li><font face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Qualitative analyses of linguistic or communication tools used to aid conflict resolution and negotiation in distinct cultural populations (e.g., metaphor in high context cultures, sharing circles, story-telling in hierarchical cultures);</span></font></li></ul><ul><li><font face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Content analyses of public accounts of negotiation or conflict resolution (e.g., media coverage of land dispute, international trade, and political negotiations across culture);</span></font></li></ul><ul><li><font face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Identification, interpretation, and management of miscommunication and misinterpretation in cross-cultural negotiation or dispute resolution;</span></font></li></ul><ul><li><font face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Conflict management and negotiation in close relationships across cultures.Please submit your manuscript at: <span style="color: #000080;"><a href="http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ncmr">http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ncmr</a></span> (click on the Special Issue submission link).
