The article introduces a sociological survey that featured the development of conflict management skills in municipal employees of the Belgorod region. The methods involved a questionnaire survey and a semi-structured interview of Belgorod municipal authorities, teaching staff of the Higher School of Management of the Belgorod State University, and employees of the Institute of Regional Personnel Policy of Belgorod. The reasons behind the conflicts were divided into those caused by the specifics of the municipal service, the peculiarities of team relations, and the individual characteristics of a municipal employee. The results of the study can improve the practical work of municipal personnel departments or be used in teaching sociological disciplines. Further study is required to develop diagnostic methods to identify the conflict management skills in municipal officials, collect information, define conditions and patterns of development, draft resolution procedures, etc.

Police training and learning settings focusing on physical conflict management skills regularly comprise at least two parties: on the one side the individuals learning and developing their conflict management skills and on the other side the individuals in charge of planning and delivering the training sessions. While the first category refers to learners, the latter category is referred to, among others, as instructor, trainer, coach, sifu or professor, depending on contextual constraints. While it seems arbitrary to use different terms for describing the learner's counterpart in a learning setting, we argue for a sensible consideration of manifest and latent implications of how these individuals are referred to - and how they perceive their role. Drawing from autoethnographic data in various conflict management training settings, we identify functional, dysfunctional and irritating aspects of different terms used. By reflecting through the lenses of functionality from a systemic perspective, we aim at providing insights towards a more nuanced understanding of contextual constraints and reflexive use of these terms.

This article develops a framework of training design to intervene in active armed conflict. A case study of Syria presents a context of the inquiry. The concept of strategic convening is introduced to describe the kind of purposefully organised activities that bring conflict parties together from across lines of division. Strategic convening develops a safe, humanising social space that helps foster enabling conditions for conflict management and resolution. Building on a first-hand experience of conducting three workshops between 2014 and 2015 for Syrian humanitarian professionals, this study explores how to use training as a means to develop constructive human interaction when training offers a rare opportunity and incentive for people from different community and regional backgrounds to come together. This study builds on an action research project in which the researcher as a trainer interacted closely with training participants and identified patterns of their thinking about conflict management, coexistence, and reconciliation across multiple training sessions. Key findings include the critical roles of pragmatic conflict management skills as well as the skills for orchestrating coexistence amongst adversaries in an effort to secure access to humanitarian aid and development resources.
