Inter-relationships between Small Arms Control and Peace Building Activities in Countries Emerging from Conflict. An Examination of the Inter-relationships between Programmes to Control Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) and Peace Building Activities in Countries Emerging from Violent Conflict.Smith, Henry January 2013 (has links)
Efforts to control small arms and light weapons (SALW) in the periods following violent conflict can have positive or negative impacts on peacebuilding efforts. Similarly, peacebuilding activities can both support or endanger efforts to place SALW under greater control. Despite the regular occurrence of SALW control and peacebuilding activities in the same time and space in post violent conflict contexts, there is insignificant analysis of how the two sets of activities interrelate, and how these interelationships can be strengthened to improve the contribution that SALW control efforts make to peacebuilding, and vice-versa. The effects of interrelationships over time (contingency); in the same geographic space (complementarity) and the effects of public perceptions and social construction are particularly important and provide a framework for establishing these interrelationships through analysing a wide universe of cases of SALW control attempted in countries emerging from violent conflict, five mini-cases studies and a major analysis of interrelationships in Kosovo.

Interactive People to People Contacts between India and Pakistan: A case study of Pakistan India Peoples’ Forum for Peace and Democracy (PIPFPD) and Aman ki Asha.Rid, Saeed A. January 2014 (has links)
This research develops a new concept for people-to-people contacts, formulates a theoretical model to assess the impact of people-to-people contacts on peacebuilding, and draws theoretical modifications and explanations in the model on the basis of its empirical application on India-Pakistan conflict and Northern Ireland conflict. The new concept of interactive people-to-people contacts (IPPC) is developed and it is differentiated from the similar concepts in peace theory. Then ontological and epistemological foundations of IPPC are determined and the roots of IPPC in peace and conflict theories are traced. To empirically assess the role played by IPPC in building peace, the web approach model is developed from Lederach’s “pyramid” of peacebuilding as formulated in Building Peace (1997) and later improved in The Moral Imagination (2005). The web approach model is applied on Northern Ireland conflict to empirically test the web approach model and make improvements in the model learning from the practice of IPPC in Northern Ireland conflcit. Then web approach model is applied on two selected case studies of PIPFPD and Aman ki Asha to empirically asses the role played by IPPC in building peace between India and Pakistan. The web approach model is used to determine the stage/frame of the web process where IPPC based peacebuilding have reached so far in India-Pakistan conflict. Moreover, theoretical modifications in web approach model are drawn learning from the selected case studies and an attempt is made to find out a way forward for IPPC based peacebuilding in India-Pakistan conflict. / Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in UK

China’s Peacebuilding Approach. Can China through its emergent influence become a key actor in supporting peace and stability in conflict areas?De Blas Marin, Isabel January 2015 (has links)
The purpose of this research is to examine China’s emerging role in peacebuilding. With a
fast-growing economy, China is becoming very influential and has increased its political leverage
in conflict-affected countries. At the same time, China’s foreign policy and strategy
are evolving and Beijing is becoming more proactive in engaging and intervening on peacebuilding
efforts. China has developed a unique peacebuilding approach, one that is based
on economic growth as way to alleviate poverty and social unrest. China could contribute to
bringing these alternative and complementary perspectives to the Peacebuilding debate and
open this field to non-Western understandings. This research is going to examine China’s
approach, its origins in China’s domestic situation and how China is exporting this model at
the international level. Some of the aspects that will be analyse include: general aspects of
the Chinese civilisation, philosophy and history, the domestic situation as well as on the
ways that China handles its domestic conflicts in Xinjiang and Tibet; and some of the particularities
and characteristics of Chinese foreign policy that shape the way it exports peacebuilding
policies to the international arena. The intervention of China in the conflict of Kachin,
Myanmar will illustrate how Chinese peacebuilding is evolving and moving away from its
Westphalian principles of non-interference. China has thus become a key actor in supporting
peace and stability and it should be part of any debate around peacebuilding moving forward
based on shared interests in, and concern to promote peace and stability.

The Integrative Potential Of The Division For Student Affairs: An Exploration Of Conflict Resolution Modes In An Institution Of Higher EducationNewell, Sara Lynn Arendall 05 1900 (has links)
The integrative potential of the division for student affairs was investigated in this study using as the basis for assessment the six determinants for effective integrative units delineated by Lawrence and Lorsch. A review of related literature indicated that three of five of the determinants were at least partially, if not substantially, met by the division for student affairs. Student affairs was found neither to have influence based upon competence within higher education institutions nor operate within a setting of high total organization influence. Analysis of the data indicated that confrontation was not the primary mode of conflict resolution utilized in the southwestern multiversity studied, but rather, the compromise mode was ranked first by upper- and middle-level managers. The sixth determinant, then, was not met. It appeared that since three of the determinants were met and three not met, the potential for student affairs acting as an integrative unit was limited. Other data gathered through questionnaires, interviews, and factor analysis in this investigation suggested that there was a wide disparity between the modes of conflict resolution actually used on campus and those perceived as desirable in handling disagreements. It was shown that the modes were viewed differently in the higher education setting studied than in business or public school settings. An inquiry into certain personal and positional variables evidenced that they had little influence upon the modes used or considered most desirable.

Trials of a comprehensive peace agreement: an investigation into the dilemmas faced by North and South SudanPhiri, Paul Velentino January 2016 (has links)
The study focuses on the north and south Sudan conflict and seeks to investigate the continuing threats to a return to war between the two parties since the 2005 Sudan Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) and after the independence of South Sudan. The study critically analyses the CPA and investigates the dilemmas faced by the two Sudans and examines the conflict resolution/transformation process. This thesis relies on data generated from key informant interviews and archival data as primary sources; complemented by secondary sources of data obtained from books, journals, research documents and relevant literature on the area.
The study analyses the background of the north-south Sudan conflict, analysis of the CPA, implications of the negotiation, mediation and the implementation processes of the CPA and the referendum, post-referendum, the post-independence issues and the conflict resolution efforts. These are discussed in order to find the reasons as to why the CPA emerged as it did and its effectiveness. The study uses the concept of the conflict resolution/transformation approaches and their methods (mediation, negotiation and peacebuilding), the Galtung ABC theory and the Liberal peace theory as tools to guide the study in order to measure the data collected from the field.
The results of the analysis suggest that history, the mediation and the negotiation process viewed to have been narrow and non-inclusive, the content of the CPA itself, the problems of the previous processes before the referendum, the referendum of Southern Sudan and the Abyei referendum failure provided the basis of the origins of the post-referendum and the post-independence issues. These issues are responsible for the dilemmas faced by the two states and eventually the tensions and the threats to a return to war which exist up to the present. All these issues lie at the heart of the difficulties of the conflict resolution process and the relationship problem of North and South Sudan. However, the 2005 CPA had partial success in that it achieved partial negative peace which in turn led to the separation of north and south Sudan.

The ADR / CR Divide: An Autoethnographic Interrogation of its Impact on the Theory and Practice of MediationPhillips, Isabel A. January 2017 (has links)
There is a divide between the fields of Conflict Resolution (CR) and Alternative
Dispute Resolution (ADR) that impacts on the transfer of knowledge and skills.
This is the central hypothesis investigated and confirmed through analysis of
the literatures of the two fields, the responses to a questionnaire to
practitioners, and autoethnographic interrogation.
A generational analysis of authors is combined with the results of a (N=28)
questionnaire with practitioners from both fields. This delineates the divide in
the theory and literature as well as how those operating in each field identify,
conceptualise mediation and what they read.
The autoethnography explores the fundamental impact of on conflict role
definitions generally and the mediator specifically. It then looks at the impact of
crossing the ADR/CR divide on mediation practice, highlighting the necessity for
practitioners of a ‘both and’ approach to skills/ knowledge and attitude/qualities.
This leads to the consideration of a framework for mediator competence across
the ADR/CR divide.
The interaction of the mediators’ normative project and the ability of parties to
self-determine is explored practically and ethically. This highlights a range of
issues with expectations mediation and mediators and foregrounds the impact
on the mediator of the mediator role.
It ends with a call for further research using innovative methodologies, such as
autoethnography, that illuminate mediation as a relational process.
