Societies in Transition
Since the end of the Cold War, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the Mediterranean and Black Sea regions have been faced with multiple upheavals of interethnic violence, bloody secessions and ethnic cleansing. Up to the present, both regions are confronted with unresolved border, minority and security issues, matters of recognition, protracted traumata and claims for justice. After the fall of the iron curtain, simmering ethnic tensions turned into hot wars that created new states, new power-political hierarchies and a heritage of violence. Reaching back to the early 1990s, several international and national transitional justice measures have been applied to...

Reconciliation and Refugees
Das Buch setzt die Reihe RIPAR fort, indem die bisher noch nicht behandelte MENA Region in den Mittelpunkt des Interesses rückt. Wegen der zahlreichen Kriege und Konflikte in diesem Raum sind weitere Bände geplant. Im vorliegenden Band geht es um Flüchtlinge und ihre vielfältigen Bedürfnisse nach Versöhnung mit sich selbst und anderen. Insbesondere Gefühle von Trauer und Schuld wegen des Zurücklassens der Heimat und von Teilen der Familie, schlimme Erlebnisse auf der Flucht, Konflikte mit anderen Flüchtlingen und mit Einheimischen, der Verlust eines großen Teils dessen, was dem Leben Sinn und Bedeutung verlieh, und die Schwierigkeiten einer Rückkehr in ein verändertes Land, eine ...
Alternative Approaches in Conflict Resolution
This edited volume brings together alternative and innovative approaches in conflict resolution. With traditional military intervention repeatedly leading to the transformation of entire regions into zones of instability and violence (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria), the study of alternative and less violent approaches to conflict resolution has become imperative. Four approaches are presented here: negotiation, religion and gender, reconciliation and forgiveness, and the arts. This volume contains the insights and experiences of fourteen internationally renowned scholars and practitioners from different contexts. Can forgiveness help heal relationships in post-apartheid South Africa? How c...
Multiethnizität in Alltag und Konflikt
In diesem Band untersucht der Autor eine Stadt im Nachkriegskosovo, in der der Alltag weitgehend konfliktfrei gelingt, die in Konfliktfällen aber in ethnische Mobilisierung zurückfällt. Johannes Gold analysiert dabei nicht nur die Beziehungen zwischen Albanern und Serben, sondern geht gleichermaßen auf Türken, Bosniaken und Roma ein. Die Konflikte werden dabei von nationalen wie internationalen Einflüssen durchdrungen. Die Identitäten der einzelnen Gruppen erweisen sich als ambivalent, wie der facettenreiche Blick in Alltags- wie Konfliktbeziehungen offenbart. In Prizren offenbart sich somit wie im Brennglas die in Postkonfliktszenarien häufige Herausforderung des Wiederzusammenfindens von Konfliktparteien. Die Studie basiert auf umfangreicher Feldforschung, die eine Fülle von Interviews und eine eigene Umfrage umfasst. Kulturanthropologische Ansätze und computergestützte Analysen komplettieren das Multimethodendesign.

Transdisciplinary Approaches on Reconciliation Research
Reconciliation studies are concerned with the processes of rebuilding and improving damaged relationships after major wrongdoings. They focus on factors such as law, economics, and international relations, as well as on elements such as emotions and ethics, culture and religion, media and education. Reconciliation research therefore requires a transdisciplinary approach, to analyse both the procedures leading to the recognition of truth as well as those in which justice is administered; both the impact of public apologies and cooperation agreements; both the implementation of memory policies and civil society initiatives; both the outcomes of trauma therapy and intergenerational encounter gr...
