PERSPECTIVES ON CONFLICT AND POST CONFLICT (original) (raw)

This paper examines the complexities of conflict and post-conflict scenarios, emphasizing the non-linear nature of conflict escalation and de-escalation. It critiques traditional, discipline-bound analysis of conflict, advocating for an adisciplinary perspective that integrates various disciplines to understand individual and systemic factors influencing conflict. The work highlights the role of non-state actors in peace promotion and the challenges faced by developmental actors in navigating conflict dynamics, ultimately arguing for a focus on process and coherence in achieving effective conflict resolution.
