Editorial : Susan Podziba has written a powerful and instructive book. Her career as a public policy mediator offers insights that go beyond anything else in print. Her ability to ask piercing questions in the best Socratic fashion, even of her own practice, make this an indispensable guide for anyone seeking to play a peacemaking role. - Lawrence Susskind, Ford Professor of Urban and Environmental Planning, MIT Co-Founder, Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School
Susan Podziba's Civic Fusion: Mediating Polarized Public Policy Disputes is a much-needed contribution. It offers a glistening synthesis of the practical, the theoretical, and the aspirational, and shines a beacon of realistic hope for improving democratic processes. It is written beautifully and with a rare combination of sophistication, clarity, and insight. I wish every mediator and everyone concerned about public policy would read it. - Leonard
Civic fusion occurs when people bond to achieve a common public goal, even as they sustain deep value differences. This book offers proven strategies for moving polarized parties to consensus solutions based on the author's 25 years of mediation and negotiation experience, including working with pro-life and pro-choice leaders after fatal shootings at women's health clinics, crane industry and union representatives to develop federal worker safety regulations, and citizens of a failed city that reclaimed their democracy by writing a consensus charter.Using these and other real-world examples, Civic Fusion guides readers through a provocative discussion about what mediators aspire to do, what they actually do, and what needs to be done to bring disparate groups of people together to reach agreements on complicated public policy questions. It provides innovative strategies for productive multi-party, multi-issue negotiations.
An impression I’ve similarly held while reading the work of, say, Joshilyn Jackson, who — while penning very different stuff — contains the same kind of vibrant energy. The first chapter in an introduction; chapters 2, 3, and 5 provide the theoretical development; chapters 4, 6, 8, and 9 are applications to differential geometry; chapter 7 contains applications to differential equations; and chapter 10 applications to physics.
In the second paragraph we find the statement "Probably on first reading" This statement is a powerful omen. Packed with inspiration from some of the greatest artists in the field, with beautiful color art and pages of information quoted from the artists themselves. The author has told a couple of stories where she is on good terms witha friend, but she described them to be people who are almost the complete opposite of hostile.
In this memoir, she goes on to explain that throughout life, we all need friends as we grow. Th
