Notes / about

www.processnorth.co.uk is an independent platform which aims to contribute to discussion on positive approaches to addressing conflicts / disputed issues.

The website carries ideas, theory & information about good practice in conflict resolution; articles, insights, news; & book reviews / short book notes.

Our latest book review is a collection of thought-provoking pieces on the methodological issues and ethical questions to be negotiated when researching far-right movements.

Our booknotes section carries short and composite reviews. The latest is about the influence of Enoch Powell.

Our first discussion notes explore issues to do with liberalism, populism, political identities and antagonism. They are a piece of work in progress about the theories of Chantal Mouffe, who promotes the need for conflicts and disputes to take ‘agonistic’ forms within democratic political systems. 

We hope to be of use & interest to mediators / other practitioners working to improve relationships between individuals & within society; those involved in conversations, dialogue, debates / discussions on ‘difficult’ & ‘controversial’ subjects; researchers looking at contested issues & social distances; leaders & activists in communities, politics, business, local government & the voluntary sector.
