“…Lederach and the conflict transformation school build on Galtung's theory of structural violence and peacebuilding, 16 Curle's work on transforming relationships, 17 Azar's work on protracted social conflicts, 18 Kelman and Fisher's work on relationship building (also known as the 'conflict resolution' school), 19 as well as on Freire's work -notably his Pedagogy of the Oppressed. 20 The objective of peacebuilding in this understanding is sustainable reconciliation within societies.…”

This article undertakes a critical assessment of the local turn in critical peacebuilding scholarship. It comes to the conclusion that the local turn is hampered by a binary and essentialist understanding of the local and the international, which are presented as the only relevant locations of power or resistance. This leads to an ignorance of local elites, provides a romanticised interpretation of hybrid peace governance structures, overstates local resistance and presents an ambivalent relationship to practice. The article recommends a more nuanced understanding of the actors involved in peace-and statebuilding, based on more empirical scholarship and a multidisciplinary approach.

“…Like the structure of problem-solving workshops and the reframing from positions to interests to needs, the language of the increasingly popular NVC movement is a set of phrases and framing supportive of a consciousness of interdependent needs. Trauma healing, developing empathy with the other, reconciliation, forgiveness, and the conscientization (Curle, 1971, cited in Lederach, 1997) that moves conflict from latent to manifest all require shifts in consciousness.…”

This article makes the case for bringing theory of consciousness to the understanding of individual transformation in conflict resolution practice. It does so by highlighting consciousness engaged explicitly and implicitly in many conflict resolution practices and consciousness dynamics considered in the emerging literature by conflict resolution practitioners. In particular, increasing awareness, consciousness structures, shifts in consciousness, transitional space, and embodied engagement are useful frameworks for understanding individual transformation within conflict resolution processes. The article concludes that the study of conflict resolution is incomplete without consideration of consciousness in conflict and conflict resolution. Furthermore, formally engaging consciousness dynamics as part of the study of conflict resolution holds promise for improving conflict resolution practice. W hat are the roles of consciousness in conflict and conflict resolution?Consciousness, dynamics of consciousness, and consciousness structures are fundamental to how we understand and engage in conflict and conflict resolution. Particularly in culture-based conflicts, conflict resolution processes support personal transformation of individual participants' consciousness structures, including conceptions of conflict and of self and other in conflict. The roles of consciousness in conflict and conflict resolution may be seen by focusing on culture-based conflict and conflict resolution, where cross-cultural dynamics are at play in the development of conflict and in the resolution processes. In reflecting on their work, conflict resolution practitioners are at the forefront of the emerging work in this area.

“…Unless development in this sense can take place, no settlement will lead to a secure and lasting peace." 161 Sustained economic and social development requires sound and balanced economic and social strategies. 162 The United Nations and the World Bank have noted that if poverty, economic problems, and dissatisfaction with politics are not dealt with,…”

War is a way of life – in some parts of the world it is an ongoing struggle with no end in sight. Years of perpetual conflict have adversely affected the way in which political, socio-economic, and cultural components of society have developed. Indeed, armed conflict negatively affects all aspects of society: not only does it destroy buildings and societies, but it also leaves surviving individuals and communities with deep wounds that can last a lifetime.
