Violent Group Conflicts and Approaches to Intervention
Opportunities and limits of civil conflict transformation
Mi. 8. Februar 2012, 9.00 Uhr bis Fr. 10. Februar 2012, 17.30 Uhr
Attention: Accomodation has to be booked individually for this training
The end of the Cold War and the geopolitical developments after September 11th, 2001, led to the development of a variety of theoretical approaches and scientific views of current violent conflicts and how to deal with them. It is not possible to identify one consistent paradigm behind this variety of academic approaches, which makes it difficult for peace experts and curriculum directors alike to decide upon a theoretical orientation. However, it is essential for peace workers to anchor their practical work in a sound theoretical foundation. Otherwise it is difficult to ensure that individual projects are coherently integrated into the overall conflict transformation context.
This training course offers an overview of the relevant body of theory, imparting practical categories to help understand current violent conflicts and the most significant approaches to dealing with them. The work of the Civil Peace Service is then classified within the system developed during the course.
