About Process North

The future perfect tense is appropriate: by early summer 2026, this website will have been running for nearly eight years.

It has served at least one of its purposes in helping the editor develop and focus his thinking on conflict resolution methodology and some related matters.

From summer 2026, the site will be suspended and the material on it will no longer be accessible: if you would like to retain any articles or book reviews on the site, please copy and paste them.

No further updates to the site are planned, but for now it continues to carry information on Mike Waite’s writing, and book reviews on issues which may be of interest to mediators & others working on conflicts and disputed questions; professionals responsible for holding dialogue, debates & discussions on ‘difficult’ & ‘controversial’ subjects; researchers looking at contested issues & social distances; and leaders & activists at all levels in communities, political organisations, local government, campaigning groups & the voluntary sector.
