Friedensbildung: Das Hamburger interdisziplinäre Modell

Rate this book
English Conflict is inevitable. Violence is not. Peacebuilding is an essential element and precondition for transforming war-ridden and violent societies towards constructive ways of conflict resolution. Peacebuilding requires processes, attitudes and capabilities on the individual, societal and institutional level. This volume approaches the issues from a special perspective. It presents the essence of lectures given at University of Hamburg by experts from different academic fields - political science, psychology, theology, sociology, anthropology and the arts. The lectures aimed at enhancing the understanding of students in the areas of conflict dynamics, peace processes and preventive work based on case studies, like the German peace movement in the 1980s, the peace process in Northern Ireland, trauma rehabilitation work with former child soldiers and the concept and practice of restorative justice, to name a few. The volume thus goes beyond an understanding of peacebuilding which focusses on nation and institution building.

Deshalb bedarf es der Stärkung von Kompetenzen zum Umgang mit Konflikten und zu deren Transformation - auf der zwischenmenschlichen wie auf der politischen Ebene. Fachwissenschaftler aus natur- und geisteswissenschaftlichen Disziplinen sowie ausgewiesene Praktiker stellen in diesem Band aktuelle Konfliktfelder und Konfliktdynamiken vor und vermitteln Ansätze zu deren konstruktiver Bearbeitung. Friedensbildung hat einem doppelten Zum einen wird Bildung als Arbeit an der Kultivierung der Gesellschaft und der eigenen Biografie verstanden, zum anderen bedeutet Friedensbildung auch die theoriegeleitete Praxis der friedlichen Klärung und nachhaltigen Lösung von politischen und sozialen Konflikten.
