Abstract

To examine the current state of cross-cultural research on conflict and communication, this chapter examines research published half a century ago - specifically between 64 to 45 years ago. By looking at past research, we examine the driving issues, theoretical concerns, and social context that informed this early research so that we can look where this research is today. Articles were selected and examined from journals published between 1950 and 1971 that addressed research related to conflict, culture, and communication - or peace, the other side of conflict. The articles reviewed provide a glimpse into what issues were of interest then, how they were conceptualized, and what we might learn from this 50 year old (give or take a decade) research that informs current work. Perhaps most striking is, after a half century, how little has changed. All these years later, we are still addressing the same issues related to conflict: How do we achieve peace? How do we prevent violence? How can people understand each other and overcome attitudes, norms, stereotypes, and policies that contribute to harming one another?
