Correspondence Susan L. Podziba, Podziba Policy Mediation, 21 Orchard Road, Brookline, MA 02445. Email: susan@podziba.com, podziba@mit.edu Mediating conflicts over sacred lands, a unique subset of public conflicts and international conflict with a religion component, requires sensitivity to the concept of the sacred and the unique contexts within which they occur. Sacred lands disputes may emerge from competing incompatible commercial and religious uses, demands for exclusive use, and efforts to undermine religious legitimacy. These aspects of conflicts over sacred lands require mediator consideration of their peculiar dynamics, including clashes of worldviews, indivisibility, and territorial access to the divine.

调解圣地冲突

通讯 Susan L. Podziba, Podziba Policy Mediation, 21 Orchard Road, Brookline, MA 02445。电子邮件：susan@podziba.com, podziba@mit.edu 调解圣地冲突、公共冲突的一个独特子集以及与宗教的国际冲突组成部分，需要对神圣的概念和它们发生的独特背景敏感。圣地争端可能源于相互竞争的商业和宗教用途、对专属用途的要求以及破坏宗教合法性的努力。圣地冲突的这些方面需要调解员考虑其特殊的动态，包括世界观的冲突、不可分割性和领土对神圣的访问。
