A Grounded Study of Conflict Resolution in Everyday SettingWan Fat, Lee 06 August 2012 (has links)
This qualitative study explored conflict resolutions in everyday setting by applying
grounded theory method to data on real-life conflict experiences. The data represent 53
graduate students (27 male and 26 female) of 20 different nationalities. After careful coding,
we found seven categories. By applying a dimensional analysis model, we not only
identified that ¢wpreparation for resolving conflict¡ü is the central phenomenon but also
explored how conflict origins, casual condition, contextual condition, intervening condition,
resolution strategies and consequences are related to the central phenomenon and the
dynamics among themselves. This helped in developing a grounded formal theory that
provide a detailed picture of the complex process of conflict resolution in everyday setting
by covering its origins, dynamics, resolution strategies, consequences, and effects in
different contexts. Detailed explanations with ample examples from the data were provided.
Implications for future researchers and practical implications are discussed.

Management of Conflict-Induced Internally Displaced Persons in a "Post-Conflict" Context : A Comparative Case Study of Uganda and South Sudanvan Deetjen, Lovisa January 2020 (has links)
Internal displacement is one of the most significant challenges in the world today, and violence, conflict, and climate-related disasters have engendered millions of internally displaced persons (IDPs) on the globe. Despite this, the IDP-population is a marginalised group on the international agenda and stay primarily under governmental protection and assistance. This makes the adequacy and durability of solutions and governmental management of IDPs crucial. The number of IDPs continues to rise every year, and many nations have evident difficulties in IDP-management, negatively affecting prospects for sustainable peace. Previous research has primarily focused on singular aspects of IDPs and solutions of such. Less has been written in terms of a broader and more comprehensive understanding of government management of internal displacement. Several scholars, researchers, and experts have stressed the urgency to pay more attention to the issue and consider IDPs a concern beyond humanitarian responsibility. This study seeks to increase the understanding of governmental management of IDPs from a broader and more holistic point of view. This by comparing two cases that have faced high numbers of IDPs in a "post-conflict" context (Uganda and South Sudan) and applying the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Framework on Durable Solutions for IDPs as a guide and analytical tool for comparison. The study finds that the governments have managed the situation with similarities and dissimilarities but have both faced difficulties in providing durable solutions and adequate response to IDPs' plight. Accentuated is also the insufficiency of establishing national instruments covering durable solutions when the political will or national capacity is absent. Reflected in the IDP-situations and trajectories examined, the primary obstacles for adequate response and management have been solely or a combination of such. The study also accentuates the interconnection of IDP-management and peace processes. For peace to be sustainable, and for solutions for IDPs to be durable, simultaneous progress of peace processes and IDP-management is crucial.
