In his book, Calin-Mihai Isman explores the construct of "interest" from the perspective of various disciplines, aiming to bridge a gap in conflict management theory and provide a scientific impetus for thought. In the current discourse, there is often talk of guiding parties from their positions to their interests, without adequately explaining the concept. Isman summarizes his findings in an "Integral Interest Model." The elements presented and their interconnections require further scientific analysis and need to be empirically validated. Practicing mediators, conflict facilitators, negotiators, and many others need a nearly uniform understanding of the "goal point" to which they should lead their (conflict) parties. This unified understanding must take into account various facets.
