Carrotmob is a nonprofit organization based in San Francisco, California. [ 1 ] It uses buycotts (a form of consumer activism where a community buys a lot of goods from one company in a small time period) to reward a business's commitment to making socially responsible changes to the business. Carrotmob also refers to a global movement [ 2 ] of community organizers who use the Carrotmob tactic of consumer activism as a way to help change businesses in their communities. [ 3 ] In a Carrotmob buycott, businesses compete to be the most socially responsible business, and then a network of consumers spends money to support the winner. [ edit ] History

Dear Colleagues As the conflict resolution and peacebuilding field has grown an increasing number of organizations and associations have been formed to help share information, exchange best practice, work on conflict advocacy, etc. Some organizations are more practitioner focused and concentrate more on organizations, while others are more for individuals and possibly more academic and research focused (and a number combine both approaches). What I would like to start is a listing of some of the key network organizations in the field around the world and then ask you to help add to the list. I do not want to list individual organizations or institutions, only those that provide a networking, coordination or information sharing function. Some of these networks may only be open to select members, but most are open (although some charge a membership fee).
