My interest is in conflict issues, broadly mirroring the remit of the new all-party group on conflict issues within the UK parliament [1] which aims to "****

'Conflict issues' is a multi-displinary area and I have no claim to expertese in any of the relevant disciplines. I am just one of a group of concerned citizens who wanted politicians and experts to get together and listen to each other.

In summer 2006 we started to experiment with setting up a wiki. But then it seemd that a 'project' within wikipedia might be better. I was just starting to learn how such things worked when I heard of citzendium, which seems better still.

I've created an article stub (conflict issues) thinking that the talk page of that article might be a good place in which to plan a series of articles on conflict issues, broadly mirroring the remit of the parliamentary group. If someone tells me that's not the right place, then I guess it can be moved.

What particularly attracted me to wikipedia and then to citizendium was the non-negotiable policy on 'neutral point of view' including the advice to describe conflicts of opinion rather than engage in them.
