RSSMore on Systemic Conflict Transformation
We are pleased to inform you that Daniela Körppen and Norbert Ropers – co-editor and lead author of our Handbook Dialogue No 6 – have just published a new book on systemic conflict transformation, together with Hans J. Giessmann. The Non-Linearity of Peace Processes – Theory and Practice of Systemic Conflict Transformation is the first comprehensive volume analysing the value added by integrating systemic thinking into peacebuilding theory and practice. It aims to link the most recent debates in the peacebuilding field, e.g. on liberal peace, on the non-linearity of conflict dynamics and on bridging the attribution gap, with various systemic discourses, discussing the extent to which systemic thinking and methods are helpful to further develop existing approaches to conflict transformation. Against the background of different case studies, practitioners and scholars frame their various understandings of systemic thinking and present a great variety of systemic concepts, such as systems theory, systemic action research and constellation work.
