| Description: |
The proliferation of regional and subregional conflicts around the world underscores the need for effective conflict resolution strategies. This book examines the place and role of voluntary organisations dedicated to the promotion of peace and the resolution of intractable social conflicts. Focussing on the work of nongovernmental organisations (NGOS)in Northen Ireland, South Africa, and Israel/Palestine, the contributors investigate the nature of these organisations, their accomplishments, and how the various social systems in which they operate their functions and structures. |
| Synopsis: |
Edited by three leading scholars of peace and conflict, Resolving Conflict brings together the work of international experts to provide an in-depth study of thirty-three peace/conflict organizations in Northern Ireland, South Africa, and Israel/Palestine. The contributors show how the sociopolitical and cultural context of the conflict in each region has shaped the type of resolution organisations that have emerged and their conception of the conflict and its resolution. By promoting more humane images of the contestants and by offering alternative peaceful approaches to resolve the conflict, the organisations have successfully galvanised previously weak or non-existent pro-peace political forces to become important players in the political struggle for peace. |
