ABSTRACT
This chapter first analyzes how both communicative and cultural practices can foster the emergence of common ground and a sense of community. Next, it explores specific approaches that emphasize common ground and community as crucial components for managing intercultural conflict. There are several approaches that build upon community such as Dai’s interculturality, Bauman’s liquid modernity, Ury’s Third Side and Haslett’s development of face From such perspectives on communication, culture and conflict management, strategies relying on communication and community for effective conflict management have emerged.
