Acknowledgements
The work at hand was accepted as doctoral thesis by the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität zu Frankfurt am Main in spring 2011. I am very grateful to my Doktorvater Professor Dr. Gunther Hellmann for his support and his detailed and open feedback, which was both helpful and inspiring at all times. The entire project would not have been possible if not for the guidance by Professor I. William Zartman. He not only taught me the skills and knowledge needed, but also instilled in me the thirst for more academic research in the field of conflict management while I was his student in Washington D.C. He further encouraged me to face my research question and became my second supervisor and advisor throughout the last years. Thank you for your support. I am indebted to Professor Alan J. Kuperman for opening my mind for conflict management. My special thanks goes to my employer, Booz & Company, for enabling me to dedicate my time to this research project. Especially my formal and informal mentors, Dr. Klaus-Peter Gushurst, Dr. Wolfgang Zink, Dr. Rainer Bernnat, Marcus Bauer and Dr. Joachim Deinlein, supported me and welcomed me back into the working life after having finished the research. Thank you! I would like to thank my friends for their individual support; especially Carrie Walter, Lisa Overbey, Katharina Ferl, Sean McBroom, Patrick Rohrmeier, Dr. Till Stenzel and Dr. Michael Wagner for challenging my work and dragging me out of my ivory tower when needed. Finally and most importantly, I would like to thank my family and my partner, Jan Bakker, for their love and support. Lucie Pod
