Profile Information

What is your profession and title?: USMC Combat Engineer - Deputy Director, Installations Development Division, MCI-East

What is your ADR experience? (trainings and education): My experience in ADR is mainly concentrated in Military operations. Whether in training or combat operations, I have experience in; direct negotiations, village mediation, and as a Military Officer, Arbitration (adjudicating and enforcing the UCMJ).
During my time while stationed near Philadelphia and prior to deploying to Iraq, I briefly studied Organizational Dynamics at the University of Pennsylvania. This program introduced me to and equipped me with a broadened sense of an interconnected global society.

What are you hoping to get from ADRhub.com: I hope to get additional information and insight. I would also enjoy meeting and talking to others interested in ADR.

Do you/your company have a website?: http://www.usmc.mil

What else do you want to tell the ADRhub.com community (what you are up to, what you would like to do in ADR, etc.): So far, I have had the pleasure of experiencing several different aspects of ADR. I think at this point (early in my studies) I prefer negotiations over both mediation and arbitration. I have come to understand that I am a “fix it” person, so being patient is an attribute that I will continue to work on.

Brazil: Policemen trained on conflict resolution - Then go into Favelas

Posted on October 24, 2014 at 4:14pm 0 Comments 2 Likes

Although this was written in 2011, this is still a big step for Brasil. The national police have a history of being violent and overbearing. This is interesting! I'm wondering how this complimented the Pacification of the Favelas (UPP).

By Larry Dreiling

The U.S. and Brazil have resolved a decade-long trade battle over subsidies Washington provided to U.S. cotton growers.

The agreement announced Oct. 1 resolves a bitter trade fight that had strained relations between the two countries since 2002, when Brazil brought a case against the U.S. charging that the U.S. cotton subsidies were a violation of global trade rules. The World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled in Brazil’s favor, and the U.S. had been forced to…
