Truth and Reconciliation Commissions
Truth – or truth and reconciliation – commissions are bodies that have been set up to investigate past violations of human rights in a country. Such commissions focus on the past and have strictly delimited mandates as to both duration and what counts as a violation. In the Chilean commission's mandate, for example, only cases where victims actually died under torture were to be counted as human rights violations and investigated. The majority of…
Clash of Civilizations, The (Huntington)
Samuel Huntington's widely known idea of a “clash of civilizations” is one in a long line of culture‐conflict theories. First articulated in 1993, and although greeted critically by many scholars, it captured the imagination of influential US foreign policymakers throughout the 1990s and early 2000s.
Conflict Resolution and Ethnic Relations
Many writers have debated the distinctions (or significant lack of them) between such terms as ethnicity, race, and nationality. Some argue that even religion or linguistic affiliation “counts.” One way to conceptualize these terms collectively is to see them as alternative though nonexclusive bases of social identity which, in different degrees of subjective salience, constitute for individuals a “basic group identity,” which in turn becomes a p…
Context and Pretext in Conflict Resolution
Written by a distinguished scholar, this book explores themes of culture, identity, and power as they relate to conceptions of practice in conflict resolution and peacebuilding. Among the topics covered are ethnic and identity conflicts; culture, relativism and human rights; post-conflict trauma and reconciliation; and modeling varieties of conflict resolution practice. Context and Pretext in Conflict Resolution is the winner of the 2014 Conflict…
Peace through Economic Opportunity, Cross-Cultural Understanding and Public-Private Partnership
In support of the Irish Peace Process, the Walsh Visa Programme provided job and training opportunities in the United States for unemployed youths from Northern Ireland and designated border counties of the Republic of Ireland. The premise was that unemployed youth from all sides of the sectarian divide could benefit from the experience of peaceful coexistence through living and working in a multicultural society and return home better able to co…
Truth and Reconciliation Commissions
This article considers some of the main features of so-called truth and reconciliation commissions, their history and structure and their characteristic concerns with respect to their central dilemmas, including: how they grapple with notions of truth, justice, liability, reconciliation, apology and forgiveness, and how they address the need to support the "reconstruction" of selves and identities in the wake of massive trauma and collective viol…
Transforming conflict resolution education
This article describes the role graduate students can play in transforming their education in the emergent field of Conflict Analysis and Resolution, as occurs at the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution (ICAR), at George Mason University, Washington, DC. It also unpacks how anthropology plays a role in the education of these students at the Master's and Doctoral levels. The primary contribution of anthropology to the conflict resolutio…
A Historical Overview of Anthropology and Conflict Resolution
Culture, Apology, and International Negotiation
This article traces the course of the Sino-U.S. negotiation in April 2001, to resolve the crisis following the collision of a U.S. surveillance aircraft with a Chinese fighter jet off of China's coast and the subsequent unauthorized emergency landing of the U.S. plane at a Chinese airfield on Hainan Island. The negotiation focused on the Chinese demand for a full apology from the United States and the U.S. resistance to this demand. The article e…
Social Identity, Intergroup Conflict, and Conflict Reduction
How are group-based identities related to intergroup conflict? When and how do ethnic, religious, and national identities lead to oppression, violence, rebellion, war, mass-murder, and genocide? How do intergroup conflicts change people's identities? How might social identity be harnessed in the service of reducing conflict between groups? The chapters in this book present a sophisticated and detailed interdisciplinary analysis of the most topica…

Constructing ethnicity
The end of the Cold War saw a proliferation of deadly conflicts between ethnic and other so-called identity groups around the world. Building on the tension between the purely "cultural" and politically deployable "ethnic" dimensions of identity, this paper examines the emergence of these conflicts in terms of the disintegration of major power systems--postcolonial, postimperial, postrevolutionary, and postillusionary--that had hitherto operated …
Notes Toward Ethnographies of Conflict and Violence
This article examines the characteristics of recent ethnographies of "conflict zones," especially those that seek to bring an experience-near depiction of violence to the reader. These works are contrasted to older ethnographic treatments of violence. A number of critiques of these works are considered, and the article concludes with a discussion of the several roles (methodological, conceptual, and moral) that the human rights movement has playe…
Culture and Conflict Resolution
Cultural Pluralism, Social Justice
Jim Laue was a major figure in conflict resolution and he is sorely missed. His absence is particularly regretted because his was a strong voice in discussions over the ethical dimension of conflict resolution, arguing eloquently and passionately in favor of a self-consciously ethical theory and practice of conflict resolution. Sometime colleagues of Laue, our work over the last decade has argued equally passionately (if not as eloquently) in beh…

Conflict Resolution
This unique collection of comparable case studies addresses the need to assess modes of conflict resolution in a larger sociocultural context with attention to varying approaches and cultural perspectives. Editors Avruch, Black, and Scimecca, together with other anthropologists and sociologists, propose and test different propositions, while looking toward a general theory of conflict and conflict resolution. Their joint effort should be of real …

Some Issues in Thinking About Culture and the Resolution of Conflict
New Markets and Good Deeds
Most anthropological treatments of entrepreneurship view the entrepreneur as an innovator concerned with maximizing profits. In the work of Fredrik Barth, the profit-seeking aspect has been generalized in a model of social organization based on transactional relations, while the innovation aspect has been promoted to the status of explaining social change. Change has been perceived as a function of (successful) entrepreneurship. This paper explor…
