An Assessment of the Theory-practice Gap in Conflict Transformation and Peace Education: A Focus on Seeds of PeaceKosik, Agnieszka D. 11 October 2012 (has links)
Peace education offers potential for transforming violent conflict into peace between groups in conflict. The research literature on conflict transformation theory and peace education has identified key assumptions for building long-term peace following violent conflict. The extent to which peace education programs have incorporated these theoretical notions, however, is not well known. This thesis explored the extent to which key theoretical insights from the literature on conflict transformation theory and peace education are incorporated in a prominent peace education program, Seeds of Peace. Data collection consisted of interviews with ten program staff members and written documentation produced by Seeds of Peace. Employing the analytical framework developed from a review of the literature, a comparison between theoretical notions and Seeds of Peace programming was done. Findings of this study highlight the extent to which there are gaps between theory and practice, and a case is made for the establishment of a more explicit connection between theory and practice. Furthermore, the thesis highlights the importance of further studies to address the research gap.

Konflikten i Baskien : -Kan konsensus uppnås?Masic, Aida January 2008 (has links)
<p>The aim of this essay is to examine the background to the ongoing conflict between Spain and Basque. The conflicting parts and the opportunities of an agreement regarding a permanent cease-fire will also be examined. I chose to write about this conflict due to the fact that it has been going on for a long time, and is still going on.</p><p>In order to be able to conduct the survey of this essay I have studied a wide range of books, reports from different institutions, and articles. I have strived for objectivity and to retail a fair description of the situation.</p><p>To get a better understanding of the conflict the essay starts with history of conflict which has its beginning in the fifteenth century. Further on the essay is going to examine the conflicting parts that exist nowadays, and also the acting of different Basque political groups and the acting of the Spanish government. The essay is concluded with an analysis where discussions are made about the possibilities of making an agreement that suits all parties that are included in the conflict. This part of the conclusion will be investigated through a theory that is called the conflict triangle, and is developed by Johan Galtung. The model used in this essay is developed and uses a coordination system which is used to get a better understanding of how to resolve conflicts and is frequently used when addressing conflicts.</p><p>The conclusion made in the essay is that the conflicting parts are mostly the terror organisation, ETA, since the Basque political parties cannot reach consensus between them in the matter of how to act in order to fulfil their goals. Due to the fact that there is no consensus the parties do not act, only ETA acts. After looking at the empirical material through Johan Galtung’s theory, it is difficult to say how to possibilities of coming to an agreement are.</p>

Establishing a conflict resolution and mediation centre in Kigali, Rwanda.Kayiranga, Jean Baptiste. January 2009 (has links)
Conflict is an inevitable part of our daily lives, resulting from complex and often litigious society. In urban area like Kigali, where people struggle for the fulfilment of their basic interests conflicts are likely to erupt. Effective alternative are highly needed to deal with conflicts. This
study was designed to seek how to establish a conflict resolution and mediation centre in Kigali with the aim of contributing to the search of peaceful and durable solutions to conflicts occurring between individual and community members in Kigali. The study examined the nature, causes, extent and consequences of conflicts in Kigali and the ways to deal with them. The research approach taken in this study was qualitative relying on structured interview, reviewing literature and documentary analysis around the subject. The researcher spent one month in Rwanda and got opportunity to engage a sample of participants to get their views. Twenty participants were selected in Kigali city and a ‘purposive sampling’ was adopted when recruiting them. Through interviews, participants responded to the objectives of the study. Informal discussions were also conducted with key informants to assess the relevance and the contribution of a conflict resolution and mediation centre. The findings revealed that there are a growing number of conflicts in Kigali with the pressures of urban expansion, their consequences are severe and their extent is considerable. The study showed a strong support of the initiative to establish a conflict resolution and mediation centre as way of handling conflicts in constructive manner. Finally the study suggested a variety of recommendations towards the Rwandan governments, to NGOs and Churches, globally requesting them to invest in the field of conflict resolution and especially to support the setting up of a conflict resolution centre as an office that can play a role of settling conflicts peacefully and effectively. / Thesis (M.Com.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville, 2009.

A network-based framework for strategic conflict resolutionPowell, J. H. January 2009 (has links)
Strategic conflict in this work refers to the spectrum of co-operative and oppositional activities in which organisations engage when their interests meet. The origin of the work is in the management and prediction of corporate strategic conflict, but it will be seen that there are significant similarities between corporate struggle and that of international relations. Following a review of the nature of conflict and the characteristics of strategic decision making, the work examines the effectiveness of three existing general approaches to conflict modelling and management, namely informal and qualitative methods; general systems analysis methods; and game theoretic approaches. Desirable criteria for a strategic conflict management framework are derived and a framework is then proposed which has three components: - Setting thefuture environment The future of the organisation is described by a network of states of nature. Resolving the Conflict Within each of the states which represent the future, the options for participants are identified and the possible outcomes and interim states identified. An analysis of the influence and power of the participants over transitions between states is carried out, which indicates likely development paths in the conflict, from which conclusions can be drawn about both the likely outcomes, and about the actions which should be taken by a company to bring about preferred outcomes. Closing the Loop Feedback of information obtained by analysis and by contact with the real world back into the two structures described above allows examination of the effect of changing perspectives and the differing beliefs of participants. The application of the framework is shown through case studies examining thejustifiability and appropriateness of each of its elements and as a whole. These case studies cover both small and large companies, a variety of business conflict cases, both live and retrospective and draw on the recorded material in international relations for examples of non- . commercial conflict. Future development paths are identified for the concept

A Network-based framework for strategic conflict resolutionPowell, J. H. 17 November 2009 (has links)
Strategic conflict in this work refers to the spectrum of co-operative and oppositional
activities in which organisations engage when their interests meet. The origin of the work
is in the management and prediction of corporate strategic conflict, but it will be seen that
there are significant similarities between corporate struggle and that of international relations.
Following a review of the nature of conflict and the characteristics of strategic decision
making, the work examines the effectiveness of three existing general approaches to conflict
modelling and management, namely
informal and qualitative methods;
general systems analysis methods;
and game theoretic approaches.
Desirable criteria for a strategic conflict management framework are derived and a framework
is then proposed which has three components: -
Setting thefuture environment
The future of the organisation is described by a network of states of nature.
Resolving the Conflict
Within each of the states which represent the future, the options for participants are
identified and the possible outcomes and interim states identified. An analysis of the
influence and power of the participants over transitions between states is carried out,
which indicates likely development paths in the conflict, from which conclusions
can be drawn about both the likely outcomes, and about the actions which should be
taken by a company to bring about preferred outcomes.
Closing the Loop
Feedback of information obtained by analysis and by contact with the real world
back into the two structures described above allows examination of the effect of
changing perspectives and the differing beliefs of participants.
The application of the framework is shown through case studies examining thejustifiability
and appropriateness of each of its elements and as a whole. These case studies cover
both small and large companies, a variety of business conflict cases, both live and retrospective
and draw on the recorded material in international relations for examples of non-
. commercial conflict.
Future development paths are identified for the concept
