Fredsstudier og konfliktløsning

En bog, som tager fat i roden af alle konflikter: hvordan vi ser hinanden. De fleste konflikter opstår, fordi vi ikke har tilstrækkelig fornemmelse for den person, vi står over for, eller fordi vi selv i forvejen er præget af forventninger og krav.Forretningsmanden Lou er, hårdt presset af sine kone, taget til Arizona for at deltage i et forældrekursus på et behandlingssted for belastede unge. Lou håber på, at behandlingen vil fikse hans søn, men filosofien på stedet er, at forældrene også skal forandre sig, hvis de unges forandring skal vare ved.Lou er kritisk og negativ, men gennem kurset får han mulighed for at se på sit liv med nye øjne og opdager, at han selv bærer en stor del af ansvaret for konflikterne i sit liv. Og derfor også har nøglen til at gå i gang med at løse dem.Gennem fortællingen om Lou peger Konfliktens anatomi på det helt grundlæggende problem, at vi ikke kan se, at det er os selv, der har et problem – og ikke kun alle de andre. Når vi opdager det, behøver vi ikke længere at opfatte os selv som ofre for det, vi ser som andres inkompetence og urimeligheder, men kan finde bedre og overraskende enkle løsninger på vores problemer.

»God konfliktløsning handler både om at tage ansvar for at opnå den og om faglig viden om metoder – det giver bogen en supergod og klog hjælp til. Derfor er det klart en bog, der kan anbefales til alle, der lever i en familie og arbejder på at gøre den bedre«. Per Schultz Jørgensen, professor emeritus, dr.phil.Nogle familier er gode til at sætte sig sammen og få talt konflikter igennem, andre familier ønsker ’fred for enhver pris’, og i atter andre råber og skriger man ad hinanden. Det, man lærer i sit barndomshjem, vil man for det meste bringe videre med sig ud i livet. Selvom man har lyst til at prøve noget andet, end det man lærte i barndommen, er det svært at finde ud af, hvilken vej man så skal gå.LÆR AT LØSE KONFLIKTER – I FAMILIEN giver råd og vejledning til, hvad man kan gøre, når der opstår konflikter i en familie, og den giver indblik i, hvordan konflikter opstår og udvikler sig. Bogens grundtanke er, at man ikke skal forsøge at ændre modparten. Men man kan påvirke den anden og situationen ved selv at gøre noget klogt.Bogens råd giver svar på spørgsmål som: Hvad stiller jeg op med min vrede og frustration? Hvorfor skal jeg blive på min egen banehalvdel? Hvad gør man, når man helt har mistet tilliden til den anden? Hvilke strategier er hensigtsmæssige?Marion Thorning er selvstændig konsulent og master i Konfliktmægling (KU).

Udsatte i æresrelaterede konflikter sætter ofte egen sikkerhed og alle relationer over styr, når de beder om hjælp. Derfor skal man som fagperson give den mest kompetente hjælp overhovedet mulig. Når ære er på spil giver metoder og redskaber.Æresrelaterede konflikter kan ramme både mænd og kvinder, og de kan ske inden for alle religioner og etniciteter. Bogen fortæller, hvordan man som fagperson kan hjælpe i sager om social kontrol, vold og udskamning.Bogen bidrager til at nuancere et komplekst felt, som ofte bliver forenklet af politikere og i medierne. Det handler om at sætte sig ind i tanke­sættet bag konflikten uden at ende i fordømmelse og stigmatisering. For hvis man tvinger et vestligt tankesæt ned over en æresrelation, kan man skade mere end gavne, og den udsattes liv kan ende i fare.Når ære er på spil sætter fokus på kulturelle aspekter af æresrelaterede konflikter, de ty­piske tankesæt hos unge, forældre og familier i konflikterne samt definitioner og begreber. Bogen gennemgår også metodiske greb som samtaleteknik, risikovurderinger, anbringelser, supervision, tolkesamarbejde og lovstof.Den er skrevet til studerende og fagpersoner inden for det socialfaglige og pædagogiske om­råde og undervisning, i sundhedssystemet, politibetjente og til alle andre, der beskæftiger sig med æres­relaterede konflikter.Susanne Willaume Fabricius er uddannet ved Den Sociale Højskole og arbejder i Etnisk Ung. Hun har i mere end 20 år arbejdet med og hjulpet personer fanget i æresrelaterede konflikter.

"This book examines the one state reality in the territories controlled by the state of Israel. The two state solution remains the dominant frame for discussing the present and future relationship between Israel and the Palestinians. In this book we start not with hopes but the reality of an Israel that controls Palestine and the Palestinians and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Starting with the one state reality reshapes how we see the conflict, consider acceptable and unacceptable solutions, and discuss difficult normative questions"--

A book for men and women from middle age to advanced years who have suddenly and unexpectedly become confronted with the huge effects that the male prostate can have on the body. It is a tale of what can happen to both men and women when the prostate transforms over time as the body changes, free of any of the minor or major taboos surrounding those involved.The book presents both a subjective and an objective account, from a female and a male perspective, of what the prostate is and of the physical, psychological and social effects that changes to the prostate can bring as one ages or reaches old age. The latest medical, psychotherapeutic and social measures available to help men with prostate issues and their partners are discussed. It also addresses the therapeutic taboos that have previously prevented us from attempting a systemic approach to the physical, psychological and social transformation that men and women undergo when they reach middle age and beyond.

The development of democratic institutions since the 1990s has restructured the decision-making process of national diplomacy, generating the politicisation of foreign policy. The apex of the movement came during the Lula administration, given the divergent perceptions about the pragmatism/rightness or ideologisation/equivocation of Brazil's foreign conduct. Monitoring the debate is the aim of this paper, whose research focused on the different opinions expressed about the Lula government's international insertion project by various social sectors (bureaucrats linked to Itamaraty, academic researchers and journalists). The data collected shows that the politicisation of foreign policy is deepening and even affects sectors linked to the foreign policy decision-making process.

This book explores the relationship between federalism, social divides and conflict in African countries. It details the origins, design and performance of major federal and quasi-federal states to assess their performance and propose new methods for managing these divides. Drawing on evidence from countries such as Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa, the book examines the nature and causes of ethnonationalism, mobilisation and confrontation with the nation state. The book is a comprehensive treatment of the five major federal and devolved systems in Africa. It explains their origin, design and operation, and assesses their performance. More importantly, the book explains the distinct nature of federal and devolved systems in the Global South. Federal and devolved systems in Africa cannot be understood in isolation from the nature of state power on the continent. The book explains the impact of unregulated state power on the dynamics of federal and devolved systems in Africa. Federalism and devolution have not failed but have been betrayed ¿ both in the past and the present ¿ in serving as a venue for accommodation, intergovernmental bargaining and negotiated reform.

The aim of this work is to unveil the political situation of 1932-37 in the city of Monte Alto-SP; in particular to understand, in the midst of an effervescent scenario both nationally and internationally, the emergence and actions of two antagonistic political groups, the "Integralists" and the "Constitutionalists." In order to fulfil these aims, the work was divided into two parts. The first part analyses the troubled historical context (national and international) and the ideologies and mentalities that emerged as salvationist, with Integralism standing out. In the second part, based on an analysis of texts from two local periodicals, the focus of the monograph becomes a description of the socio-political events that took place in the city of Monte Alto-SP within the delimited section. Thus, the work shows that local politics had an ambivalent situation in which real politics took place, practised in the democratic political game based on parties, representation, debate, elections, etc. and an ideal one, in which a group was catechised and moulded in an effort to realise a political project for the future with strong teleological overtones.

This book provides new insights into the development of integrated approaches to peace and sustainability in the era of global change. Since the late 1980s, and in order to regulate the increasingly detrimental impacts of humans on the environment, the transition towards sustainability has been high on the agenda of researchers and policymakers alike. Meanwhile, peace considerations have expanded in recent decades to include the varied types and sources of conflict, from inter-state to intra-state conflicts due to various social, political, economic, and environmental factors. Through providing theoretical and empirical insights, this book demonstrates that sustainability and peace as intrinsically interrelated. The book elaborates on the multi-dimensional and constantly evolving concepts of sustainability and peace. In addition, the book contributes to a better understanding of the complex and dynamic interlinkages between peace and sustainability by presenting examples of pathways where sustainability and peace interact considering the different factors and contexts that are constantly shaping and reshaping the conditions for sustainable and peaceful societies.
