A spiritual intelligence model for operational humanitarian leadership development in conflict-affected areasEls, Deon André January 2017 (has links)
The scale and cadence of crises that demand international humanitarian response are on the rise and pose increasingly hostile and complex challenges to operational humanitarian leaders. The international responses to humanitarian crises since 2011 recognised the need for successful humanitarian leadership development that emphasises the importance of ethical and effective leadership. The under-achievement of operational humanitarian leaders in conflict-affected areas has long been a chief concern amongst humanitarian organisations and leadership scholars. Several approaches to the development of operational humanitarian leaders have been presented as possible solutions such as establishing new financing mechanisms; improving technical abilities, academic knowledge, simulation training, conflict management skills; conflict prevention training; and enhancing the capacity for collaborative networks. Despite various efforts, it is reported that ineffective and incompetent leadership is still a major constraint on the success and effectiveness of operational humanitarian response in conflict-affected areas. This research effort attempted to contribute to improving operational humanitarian leadership by considering a “human or people-centred approach”. The primary objective was to identify the factors that influence the successful development of the spiritual intelligence (SQ) of humanitarian leaders working in conflict-affected areas. The primary objective was, therefore, to improve the abilities and skills of humanitarian leaders by validating and analysing factors that should contribute to the development of spiritually intelligent leaders and, subsequently, improve humanitarian leadership performance. There is growing consensus that values, ethical behaviour, self-awareness, motivation, compassion, humility, empathy, co-ordination and the empowerment of others have a significant impact on the effectiveness of operational humanitarian leadership which emphasises the need for human or people-centred approaches in developing humanitarian leaders. The striking similarities between abilities pertaining to effective, operational, humanitarian leadership and the capabilities of a spiritually intelligent individual suggested an opportunity to investigate the development of a spiritual intelligence model for humanitarian leaders. The frequency, duration and intensity of humanitarian crises between 2004 and 2016 further emphasised the urgent need for operational leaders to develop and apply abilities based on spiritual intelligence in the humanitarian sector. Some scholars argue that the development of spiritually intelligent leaders should play an instrumental role in successfully responding to global crises.

000847294.pdf: 1980678 bytes, checksum: 3fa26ceebb4f40718c1e73217159d479 (MD5) / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) / O trabalho analisa o processo de reforma das operações de paz da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) iniciado em 2000 com a publicação do Relatório Brahimi, que apontou novas diretrizes para fortalecer este instrumento de gerenciamento de conflitos após os fracassos em Ruanda, na Bósnia-Herzegovina e na Somália, em meados da década de 1990. O objetivo é compreender as consequências da reforma para a concepção de paz que norteou as missões da ONU e a forma em que esta concepção foi traduzida nos modelos de intervenção autorizados pelo Conselho de Segurança da ONU na década que sucedeu a publicação do Relatório. A hipótese que orientou a pesquisa foi a de que existe um descolamento entre a concepção de paz - a paz sustentável, resultante do trato das causas dos conflitos - e os modelos de intervenção - pautados na noção de operações robustas seguidas de atividades de consolidação da paz (peacebuilding) - porque a paz promovida pela ONU é condicionada por dois fatores principais. O primeiro relaciona-se ao fato de que, no processo de elaboração do modelo de intervenção no panorama político-institucional da ONU, existe o predomínio da perspectiva do interventor, da leitura que este faz do conflito e do papel que atribui às operações de paz; além da aplicação de um modelo padronizado para responder a diferentes tipos de conflitos. O segundo fator, também relacionado à aprovação do modelo de intervenção, é que as operações de paz respondem aos conflitos na medida em que existam recursos para a implementação dos mandatos e dentro de algumas condições determinadas pelos grupos beligerantes, que precisam consentir, mesmo que apenas formalmente, a presença de atores externos no processo de transição do conflito para a paz.... / The study analyzes the United Nations (UN) Peace Operations reform, which started in 2000 with the publication of the Brahimi Report, establishing new guidelines to strengthen peace operations after the failures in Rwanda, Bosnia Herzegovina and Somalia in the mid-1990s. The purpose is to understand the consequences of the reform to the conception of peace that guided UN missions and the way in which the UN Security Council has translated this conception into the interventions design during the decade that followed the publication of the Report. The hypothesis that guided this research was that there is a gap between the conception of peace - sustainable peace resulting from dealing with conflict causes - and the design of the intervention - robust peacekeeping followed by peacebuilding activities - because the UN peacekeeping operations are driven by two main factors. The first relates to the fact that, in the political process which precedes the intervention approval, there is a preponderance of the outsiders perspective, of the way that the external forces perceives the conflict, deciding the role of the missions; besides, there is a standardized model to respond to different types of conflicts. The second factor is that peace operations respond to conflict to the extent that there are resources for the implementation of the mandates and within specific conditions determined by the warring groups, which need to consent, at least formally, the presence of external actors to manage the transition to peace. ...

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.

South Africa's approach to peace mission in AfricaHlungwani, Precious Pakamile January 2017 (has links)
A research report submitted to the Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Management in Security, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2017 / In 2013, the South African delegation to the African Union (AU) vigorously lobbied other AU Member States to urgently establish the African Capacity for Immediate Response to Conflict (ACIRC) Brigade. South Africa argued that the continent needed a rapid deployment force to respond quickly to conflicts. Amongst others, the ACIRC will intervene in stabilisation, peace enforcement and intervention missions, the neutralisation of terrorist groups, and attacks on legitimate governments. The decision to establish the ACIRC was a response to the M23 occupation of Goma and French intervention to assist the Malian government, which was under attack from Tuareg separatists and other Islamic fundamentalist groups.
Critics of the ACIRC mechanism argue that it goes against the principles of peacekeeping and is an indication that South Africa is advocating for a departure from pacifist to robust military intervention. From South Africa’s perspective, the ACIRC Brigade is intended to fill the security gap left by the African Standby Force. This research study argues that the ACIRC is not an indicator that South Africa is advocating for a departure from pacifist to robust military intervention when resolving conflict in Africa. Instead, the ACIRC mechanism, like the Force Intervention Brigade and the French army intervention in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Mali respectively, will provide the AU with a quick response mechanism for conflict. The robustness of response will be determined by the threat at the tactical level of military operation. As such, the deployment of the ACIRC Brigade will still be guided by the principles of peacekeeping as laid out in the UN Charter and Article 4(h) of the AU Constitutive Act.
In this respect, post-apartheid South Africa has played a leading role in resolving conflicts in Africa. Those who subscribe to realism argue that South Africa participates in peace missions for its own self-benefit. They argue that its participation in peace missions will increase its global stature and improve its credibility in its quest to become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. On the other hand, idealists argue that South Africa’s participation in peace missions is inspired by the principles of ubuntu and altruism. This research study argues that both the realist and the idealist arguments are credible when assessing South Africa’s participation in peace missions in Africa. However,

notwithstanding the credibility of both arguments, there is more evidence to support the realist view on South Africa’s participation in peace missions. / GR2019
