Johnston, Mindy Kay. "Music and Conflict Resolution: Exploring the Utilization of Music in Community Engagement." PDXScholar, 2010. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/437.
Full textAbstract:
This study is based on interviews conducted with twenty-two musician-activists in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States in 2009 to explore perspectives about the role of music in community engagement with the aim of considering how music might be used in the field of conflict resolution. The study followed the qualitative approach of constructivist grounded theory as designed by Charmaz (2000, 2002). Two themes, "Music for Self," and "Music for Society" emerged from interviews and comprise the internal and external meanings of music to the research informants. The results of the study indicate that the relationships people have with music make it a potentially powerful tool in conflict situations within the realms of both conflict resolution and conflict transformation. More extensive research exploring these benefits is recommended.

Bassalé, Parfait Adegboyé. "Music and Conflict Resolution: Can a Music and Story Centered Workshop Enhance Empathy?" PDXScholar, 2013. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/1122.
Full textAbstract:
The Story and Song Centered Pedagogy (SSCP) is a workshop that uses songs, stories and reflective questioning to increase empathy. This preliminary study tested the prediction that being exposed to the SSCP would increase empathy using, the Emotional Concern (EC) and Perspective Taking (PT) subscales of the renowned Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) (Davis, 1990). Subjects self-reported their answers to the IRI before and after undergoing the SSCP intervention. Comparing their pre and post intervention results, no statistically significant changes were noticed for the EC and PT scales (p-value = 0.7093 for EC; p-value = 0.6328 for PT). These results stand in direct tension with the anecdotal evidence gathered from 10 years of action research that shows that the SSCP impacts audiences' ability to empathize. This opens the door for additional research with more rigorous methodology and a larger sample size which will allow for more interpretative analysis. These results also probe the concern about whether the IRI is the most suitable tool to quantitatively measure the empathetic responses caused by the SSCP and evidenced by action research.

Full textAbstract:
Modern conflict transformation emerged after World War II as a discipline and a field of academic research. Since the early 1990s it has increasingly concerned itself with psycho-social issues (e.g. trauma treatment or reconciliation) in the aftermath of violent protracted social conflicts. Within this psycho-social space there has been a growing interest in the use of music in conflict transformation to improve relationships between in and out-groups. However, the field of music and conflict transformation is still nascent, with little in-depth research available. The majority of studies have been undertaken by interested parties or relies on anecdotal evidence from organisers and musicians with little concern for the context of the music use. Participants, whose attitudes and relationships to out-groups are the focus of conflict transformation interventions, are largely overlooked and their views are rarely discussed. Furthermore, there are few detailed studies on exactly how music affects conflict transformation outcomes. Instead allusions are often made to terms such as “the power of music” which act as a black box intended to explain how music “works”, but patently fail to do so. This thesis attempts to fill these two gaps in the literature by focusing on the participants’ experiences in two different conflict transformation contexts, a multi- cultural music project for school children in Noway and the casual music use in a settlement of internally displaced persons in Sudan. Through qualitative research methods, rich descriptive data from different parties is gathered. The data is analysed using grounded theory. As a result a very different and more complex picture emerges that enriches the current understanding of how music is used and perceived in conflict transformation contexts. In particular, how participants view these activities and how power relationships, though rarely mentioned, affect the music use is explored in detail. Some tentative suggestions indicate that music works best when used in longitudinal bottom-up activities and that music can augment conflict transformation activities rather than replace them. Additionally, it is proposed that music may work as a form of benign interruption in conflict transformation activities and that musical events provide a liminal space where the real work lies in the process of bringing any changes in attitudes from the liminal space into everyday life.

ABSTRACT
The use of the arts as a tool for conflict transformation, or what has been called arts based peacebuilding, is a new and emerging field. Yet, there is sparse empirical evidence on its outcomes. The Nile Project, a musical collaborative from East Africa that brings together musicians from all of the countries that border the Nile River, is aimed at finding a solution to the dire water conflict and crisis in the region. This study aims to explore how their collaborative process of creating and performing music despite their linguistic, cultural, musical, and political differences, can illuminate how music can be used to address conflict. Using a combination of collaborative qualitative and arts-informed research methodologies, original members of the collective as well as the co-founder were interviewed. Observations were also done of the musicians' rehearsals, performances, and classroom visits at a New England University and during a musical residency in Aswan, Egypt. Findings suggest that an outcome of the Nile Project's work is the development of relationships, deeper learning, particularly about other Africans, and that the process of making music with those from diverse musical traditions can act as a way to practice peacebuilding skills: creating unity, while honoring diversity. This study seeks to add to a limited amount of research documenting the arts in peacebuilding suggesting that music might be an effective tool for transforming conflict.

Full textAbstract:
Music is often heralded as a means of bringing people together or celebrating diversity and therefore it is also often assumed that music can be a beneficial tool in conflict transformation settings. Despite this widespread belief there is little empirical evidence to support this notion. Indeed, there is more evidence that suggests the opposite; music can increase solidarity within one group but that very process strengthens the borders between what is accepted as in-group or out-group. It is this strengthening of identity borders that can lead to outright conflict if certain other social conditions prevail. One question remains, why is the belief in the power of music so widespread when there is evidence that demonstrates potential negative outcomes? In order to address that question, it is useful to observe that music continues to be used in community projects and within NGOs as a means to bond groups in social conflict despite the lack evidence to support their actions. The belief in the positive power of music has influenced behaviour so that musical activity is included in peace work. Indeed, belief can be seen as a prime motivator of behaviour in most sectors of the world, much more so than hard evidence. This thesis is an exploration of the social processes that occur in musical experiences that affect memory, identity and emotions and how they affect understanding and belief which in turn affects group behaviour. The research is inter-disciplinary, drawing on music sociology, social movements, cultural studies, ethno-musicology and conflict theory, and data was collected using qualitative methods (ethnographic interviewing, action research, observation/participation, grounded theory). The fieldwork was conducted with an inter-religious choir in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and a comparative study conducted with a world-music community choir in London, UK.

Full textAbstract:
Listening to music is an activity that provides a range of physical and psychological benefits (e.g., tension relief, decreased depression) for people across cultures and age groups. Adolescents, specifically, are among the most active consumers of music, and music appears to be a natural coping strategy for this age group. Research suggests that both music and the family context play important roles during the developmental phase of adolescence. Family transitions such as divorce have become increasingly common experiences for adolescents and may have long-lasting negative effects on an adolescent’s emotional well-being. However, research regarding music-based interventions for use with adolescents experiencing family conflicts or transitions is limited. Thus, this project involved the creation of a resource manual designed to help mental health professionals implement music-based interventions in their work with adolescents coping with family conflict or parental divorce. The development of the manual was informed by a review of the literature about music therapy, adolescents, and families, as well as by questionnaires completed by three certified music therapists, and this author’s own clinical experiences. The data was then integrated and synthesized into a comprehensive resource manual, which was evaluated by three clinicians who are not trained music therapists for its efficacy, relevance, and user-friendliness. Feedback for the manual was collected via an evaluation form. Results indicated that the manual may be a useful supplemental tool for mental health professionals. Strengths, weaknesses, and suggestions for improvement are also discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Music CompositionD.M.A
My final project for the D.M.A. in composition consists of a Requiem Mass honoring the victims of the Iraqi war, a conflict that has stirred public debate since the invasion of Iraq in 2003. It is not meant as a political statement; rather, it is intended as a tribute in the broadest sense--not only for the combatants who lost their lives, but also for the innocent citizens caught in the cross-fire, all the families left in grief, and the returning soldiers whose lives were altered if not shattered by the experience of war. It speaks to the devastating toll war has on society in general. The Requiem lasts approximately 56 minutes. Except for the Sanctus, the seven movements of the work are all performed contiguously. It is scored for mixed chorus; SSAATBB, a solo, coloratura soprano, solo tenor and orchestra (3333 2431, 2 harps, percussion and strings). Mass for a Time of War reflects a broad array of stylistic impulses from the medieval through the present day, all the while transcending the boundaries of the various musical gestures and resources. These influences include: Schoenberg's signature hexachord pair (012569) (013478), the tone row from Webern's Op. 21 Symphony (1928), Charles Ives's The Unanswered Question (1906), Stravinsky's Requiem Canticles (1966), Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time (1941), Franz Liszt's Via Crucis (LW J33) and the Kyrie from Haydn's Mass in C major, Paukenmesse (Hob. XXII: 9). Techniques of contrafactum, serialism, including a section of total serialization as well as an aleatoric passage, are of structural importance in the work. Several new compositional methods developed for the Credo include the use of a matrix multiplier on rhythmic and tone rows to produce a new row--albeit a tonal one--and a procedure the author calls "rhythmic resonances." In Mass for a Time of War, texts and chants from the Missa pro defunctis [Mass for the Dead] are interwoven with Czeslaw Milosz's poem Meaning, and serve as structural scaffolding throughout. The choices of additional texts and what the author terms "musical subtexts" that surround the scaffolding of the Latin are selected and positioned to heighten the unfolding narrative. The texts from the Mass for the Dead anchors the Requiem, while the emotional thrust is guided by Milosz's Meaning. Although the Latin texts are deeply religious, they have been taken from their familiar context by aligning them with prose and poetry. It was not intended to remove their religious connotations, but to instead expand their significance to a metaphoric stature. Additional texts include Emily Dickinson's stark poem on death, LXXVI, several lines from Rainer Maria Rilke's The Ninth Duino Elegy, texts from Eugene O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Electra, The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane, Dexter Filkin's The Forever War, texts in both the Ancient Greek and English translation of Homer's Iliad, Erich Maria Remarcque's All Quiet on the Western Front, several texts from The New York Times Magazine and New Yorker Magazine articles, as well as the names of victims on both sides of the war. The arrangement of the texts and subtexts are consciously meant to imitate "cut-up" poetry or fiction, also called découpage, a form that takes small sections of words from existing poems as well as additional texts, such as those from newspapers and magazines and rearranges them to create new poems or other texts. The dichotomy of tonal and atonal impulses, compositional constructs that informed other of my compositions, form some structural basis for the work. Choice of these and other musical procedures is not arbitrary. They are not reasons in themselves, or meant to form a new mode of expression or imitate a particular musical style. Rather they support a dramatic narrative with deep resonances and historical allusion, one that draws the listener into the emotional substance of the difficult, often brutal dilemmas of war that humankind has wrestled and struggled with since before the printed word.

Full textAbstract:
Beyond Charitable Imperialism investigates the role of film, digital media, and music in mediating social and political change in conflict regions with specific attention to the aesthetic choices, ethical implications, and lived consequences of audio-visual production in and about Congo. This study intervenes in the discourse on activist African cinema through a bi-directional investigation of (1) increasingly prominent instances of aesthetic and ideological practices in Congolese film that are emerging as central to larger projects of social transformation, and (2) the extent to which humanitarian narratives depicting present-day Congo obscure or expose the ongoing, neo-colonial power struggle between Congo and the West. My research includes critical analyses of temporality, memory, and language in audio-visual representations of Congo, as well as extensive field research investigating embodied instances of the 'film act.' In this context I advocate a historically informed reading of the correlation between current cinema practices and contemporary history based on the evolutionary relationship between audio-visual media, politics, and identity. Drawing on frameworks of militant Third Cinema this study interrogates the role of media in the creation and dissemination of 'Truth' and thereby draws pointed attention to global consequences that form the basis of what I call charitable imperialism. With methodological inspiration across disciplinary lines from scholars including Frantz Fanon, Teshome Gabriel, and Stuart Hall, I offer an anatomy of the particular ways in which film can emerge as a real means of social transformation in the face of conflict and mental colonization. Central to this inquiry is the history of resistance embedded in Congolese musical practices. I suggest that, fortified by intersections with visual technology, the elevated cultural capital of song as a vehicle of social mobilization is reconstituting both music and visual media and increasingly allowing Congolese voices to participate in global dialogues on their own terms. Ultimately I conclude that mediated agency effectively challenges charitable imperialism and repositions Congolese subjects as viable agents of sustainable social transformation.African and African American Studies

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines what happens when the worlds and knowledges of war,
international development, and music education intersect. It investigates the practices
and experiences of music interventions, a term used in this thesis to describe
structured programs for music learning and participation in places that have been
unmade by war, taking shape within the structures and funding arrangements of largescale
international aid and assistance. It explores the work of three specific music
interventions—the Pavarotti Music Centre in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Hadahur Music
School in Timor-Leste, and the Afghanistan National Institute of Music in
Afghanistan—with the goal of identifying how these kinds of projects are shaped, and
their potential for sustainability in a volatile and mutable environment. These case
study sites offer interesting contrasts of timeframe (longevity of the music
intervention and retrospective distance from the wartime experiences); scale (of
ambition, funding, and external drivers); and approaches to the teaching and learning
of music, in particular their efforts to regenerate local music traditions.
The research was designed as an ethnographic, multi-sited, multi-case study project.
Semi-structured interviews and document review were the principal data sources,
offering diverse perspectives that bring both positive and critical voices of
participants and local community members to the fore, alongside those of organisers
and practitioners. Data were coded and analysed thematically, using grounded theory
methods.
As a result of this process, the thesis argues that the phenomenon of music
interventions can be understood as evolving across six critical junctures—sites of
negotiation between the various actors—that produce decisions and actions that
critically shape each project. The critical junctures—Aims and Motivations, Buildings
and Facilities, Pedagogy and Learning Materials, Organisational Culture, Internal
Engagement, and External Engagement—also have implications for sustainability, as
they represent points of active interface between contrasting constructs and ideals, and
therefore can generate instability and conflict as well as harmony and growth. The
critical junctures model offers practitioners and scholars a tool for understanding, planning, operationalising, evaluating, and handing over music interventions in waraffected
contexts. It sheds light on internal practices, and helps to reveal the influence
that the complex wider context can have on shaping and sustaining the music
activities.
The model of critical junctures for shaping and sustaining music interventions is the
central theoretical contribution of this research. In addition, the thesis makes
methodological, empirical, and practical contributions to what is a nascent subject of
inquiry, mapping three radically different music interventions in their achievements
and their missteps, and presenting empirical data from multiple perspectives. In a
world that is as much at war as ever, and an aid environment that is increasingly
recognising the importance of cultural development and creative expression to human
development, this study has deep and immediate relevance to an audience of music
and development practitioners, policy makers, and scholars in the fields of (applied) ethnomusicology, music education, community music, music sociology, music therapy, cultural development, and international development.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Full textAbstract:
Each year people are injured and even die in crowd related accidents, often during planned events. Recent studies have emphasized the need for using a systems approach to study these events. In this study the systems approach of resilience theory is combined with the crowd psychology-models Extended Social Identity Model and the Aggravation and Mitigation Model to examine event safety at a music festival, a domain previously largely unexplored by these perspectives. By using an ethnographic approach as well as interviewing visitors the study set out to answer questions about when and how the safety organization adjusted itself under conditions relating to crowds. Another goal was to study the social identity of the visitors as well as the interaction between the safety organization and the visitors at the festival to explain the presence or absence of crowd conflict. Using thematic analysis several situations were identified where the safety organization adjusted itself, as well as the strategies that the organization used in these different circumstances. It was also concluded that the absence of crowd conflict could best be explained by three factors. First of all, no history of crowd conflict existed between the safety organization and the visitors, secondly, there were no groups present with the goal of creating conflict, and thirdly, the social processes taking place between the safety organization and the visitors were all mitigating in nature. The mitigating nature of the social processes was partly attributable to the strategies identified for adjusting to crowd conditions.

Previous issue date: 2007-03-22This work aims to analyze the process of constitution and development of several associative forms adopted by organizations of agricultural workers in the city of Lago do Junco - MA, particularly those allied to a major organization called Associa??o em ?reas de Assentamento no Estado do Maranh?o - ASSEMA. These associations were created in Lago do Junco within the years of 1989 and 1991, by the end of a period of intense and violent agrarian conflicts involving, from one side, a number of peasant villages and, from another, great land owners. Since the decade of 1970, changes in the preaching methods conducted by religious adepts of the Theology of the Liberation, added to the process of land expropriation that affected hundreds of peasant families, stimulated a collective response by rural workers to the process of land privatization. Most of the agrarian conflicts were solved by the end of the decade of 1980, with the establishment of Agrarian Reform settlements for the peasant population. From then on, in this region, the associative forms became a preferred modality of organization adopted by agricultural worker families, as means of ensuring their permanence on their lands. Through analyzing the consequence of the existence and the influence of associations linked to ASSEMA for the living in the studied towns, we noticed a certain ambivalence by which they are experienced by agricultural workers. Such ambivalence is related to the tensions occurred during certain periods, such as those referred to the procedures that made possible to afford selective advantages to their associates and the ones which triggered a deep degree of socioeconomic differentiation inside the villages. Also, conflicts emerged from the principles of conduct and affiliation demanded by the organizations for those who benefited from them, affiliated or not.
Esta disserta??o objetiva analisar o processo de constitui??o e desenvolvimento das diversas formas associativas assumidas por organiza??es de trabalhadores rurais no munic?pio de Lago do Junco Maranh?o, em particular, aquelas associadas ? entidade de assessoria e representa??o denominada Associa??o em ?reas de Assentamento no Estado do Maranh?o - ASSEMA. Essas organiza??es foram fundadas em Lago do Junco entre os anos de 1989 e 1991, ao final de um per?odo de intensos e violentos conflitos agr?rios envolvendo, de um lado, diversos povoados camponeses e, de outro, grandes propriet?rios de terra. A partir da d?cada de 1970 as modifica??es no trabalho de evangeliza??o realizado por religiosos adeptos da teologia da liberta??o, somadas ao processo de expropria??o de terras que afetava centenas de fam?lias de trabalhadores rurais, fez nascer em parte destas um sentimento de inconformismo com a situa??o em que viviam, levando-as a resistir de forma coletiva ao processo de expropria??o, fazendo eclodir diversos conflitos agr?rios. Os principais conflitos agr?rios foram solucionados no final da d?cada de 1980, com a desapropria??o das terras e cria??o de projetos de assentamento. Nesta regi?o o associativismo passou a ser, a partir de ent?o, uma modalidade de organiza??o e a??o coletiva privilegiada pelas fam?lias de trabalhadores rurais, como forma de garantirem sua perman?ncia nas terras reconquistadas. A partir da an?lise das conseq??ncias advindas da presen?a e da atua??o das organiza??es de trabalhadores rurais vinculadas a ASSEMA na vida dos povoados estudados, percebemos estas organiza??es podem ser caracterizadas principalmente pela ambival?ncia com que s?o vivenciadas pelas fam?lias de trabalhadores rurais. Tal ambival?ncia est? relacionada a tens?es que atravessam a trajet?rias destas organiza??es, como aquelas referentes aos procedimentos que possibilitaram estabelecer vantagens seletivas para seus associados e os procedimentos que puderam gerar um acentuado grau de diferencia??o econ?mico-social no interior dos povoados, e, tens?es provenientes dos princ?pios de filia??o e conduta exigidos por estas organiza??es daqueles que delas usufruem, sejam estes s?cios ou n?o s?cios.

The academic field of music education has been consolidating significantly in the last 30 years. This period, in turn, has been marked by profound social changes: economic crises that appears in increasingly smaller intervals; the deepening of social inequality; the remarkable fragmentation that ravages individuals and the reflux of the organization of the explored classes; the mass diffusion of individualistic and conservative political ideologies, the process of intensive implementation of the Capital and its determinants through the deepening of economic globalization. Given this complex scenario, emerges a problem that has been poorly treated by our field: how does music education fit into this context? How the social determinants of our time affects music-education? Thus, the goal of this dissertation is to analyze the relationship between music education, the struggle between Labor and Capital and the construction of social being nowadays. I proposed the following specific objectives: to characterize the conflict between Labor and Capital; to point out how the political ideologies of capitalism, from those that advocate its reproduction to those that argue for its overcome them, influences human praxis, in particular education; to think about the characteristics of music education today, its possibilities and challenges before our historical time; and identify how the critique of capital has been developed by researchers of the field. I employed as the main critical-analytical references the historical and dialectical materialism and the Marxian- Lukacsian ontology. I conclude by arguing that the analysis of the field of music education, taking into account the limits of this practice, enables a significant deepening of understanding of the current configuration of our society. However, critical analyzes performed to date and circulated by the academic journal Revista da ABEM, published by the Associação Brasileira de Educação Musical, offer only partial critiques to the relationship between music education and the determinants of capitalist society, which demonstrates the need to resume the critique of social totality, an essential characteristic of the Marxist critical ontology.

Este período, por sua vez, tem sido marcado por profundas transformações sociais: crises econômicas que se sucedem em intervalos cada vez menores; o aprofundamento da desigualdade social; a marcante fragmentação que assola indivíduos e o refluxo da organização das classes sociais exploradas; a difusão em massa de ideologias políticas individualistas e conservadoras; o processo de implantação intensiva do Capital e seus determinantes através do aprofundamento da globalização econômica. Diante desse complexo cenário, destaca-se uma problemática que vem sendo insuficientemente tratada pela área: como a educação musical insere-se nesse contexto? Como os determinantes sociais de nosso tempo histórico condicionam a atividade músico-educacional? Dessa forma, analisei como objetivo geral da presente dissertação a relação entre a educação musical, o embate entre Trabalho e Capital e a formação do ser social na atualidade. Em relação aos objetivos específicos, caracterizei o conflito entre Trabalho e Capital; refleti sobre como as ideologias políticas circunscritas ao capitalismo, das que advogam sua reprodução às que defendem sua superação, influenciam a práxis humana, em particular a educativa; descrevi a configuração da educação musical na atualidade, suas possibilidades e desafios frente ao nosso tempo histórico; e identifiquei como a crítica ao capital tem sido elaborado pelos pesquisadores da área. Utilizei como principais referenciais crítico-analíticos o materialismo histórico e dialético e a ontologia marxiano-lukacsiana. Concluo afirmando que a investigação do campo da educação musical, levando-se em consideração os limites desta práxis, possibilita um aprofundamento significativo da compreensão sobre a atual configuração de nossa sociedade. Entretanto, as pesquisas efetuadas até o presente momento e difundidas pelo periódico Revista da ABEM, publicado pela Associação Brasileira de Educação Musical, oferecem críticas apenas parciais às relações entre o ensino de música e os determinantes da sociedade capitalista, o que demonstra a necessidade de se retomar a crítica à totalidade social, que é característica essencial da ontologia crítica marxista.

Ce travail de thèse se propose d’étudier une pratique culturelle, celle des groupes de cornemuses ou pipe bands, telle qu’on la trouve dans la société nord-irlandaise contemporaine dite « post-conflit ». En abordant la pratique musicale comme pratique du quotidien et occasion répétée d’échanges et d’interactions, ce travail cherche à évaluer comment celle-ci contribue à la formation et au renouvellement de normes et de valeurs collectives. L’Irlande du Nord émergeant d’un conflit qui continue de modeler les relations sociales et la vie politique, il s’agit également d’approcher, par le biais des pratiques culturelles, les dynamiques de transformations du conflit. De par cette approche, ce travail se propose d’envisager les produits de la socialisation musicale en tant qu’ils constituent une réponse à l’héritage du conflit. La musique comme pratique est par ailleurs envisagée en tant qu’elle permet une action sur le monde et une réinvention de la conflictualitéThis thesis endeavours to study pipe bands as a cultural practice in contemporary "post-conflict" Northern Irish society. By approaching music as an everyday practice and a repeated opportunity for exchange and interaction, this work seeks to evaluate how it contributes to the formation and renewal of collective norms and values. As Northern Ireland emerges from a conflict that continues to shape social relations and political life, this work also aims at approaching, through cultural practices, the dynamics of conflict transformation. Through this standpoint, this thesis whishes to consider the products of musical socialization in response to the legacy of conflict. Music as a practice is also thought of as allowing an action on the world and a reinvention of conflict

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the study was to investigate conflicts in the perceptions of band directors, band parents, band students, and selected school personnel regarding the role and scope of their respective band programs. The problems were to examine the relationships among these four groups in terms of selective perception, perceptual constancy, and polarization. Questionnaires were developed in order to survey the senior public high schools in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. In addition to demographic data, the questionnaires included perceptions about public performances, marching, concert, and jazz bands; contests and festivals; and other band related activities which might be desirable in a band program. The questionnaires concluded with opportunities for open-ended comments and suggestions about the survey instrument and the band program. Statistical computations included one-way analysis of variance, chi-square test, frequency counts, and cross-tabulations. Qualitative analyses and reports of interviews helped to clarify and interpret all statistical findings.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship among conflict distress, conflict attributions (self/partner blame), perceived conflict behaviors (similarity/difference) and relationship satisfaction. Relationship Conflict Inventory (RCI), Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS), Conflict Behaviors Questionnaire and Demographic Information Form was administered to 58 dating couples. In order to investigate the predictive power of conflict distress level, conflict attributions (self/partner blame), perceived conflict behaviors (similarity/difference) and demographic variables on relationship satisfaction stepwise regression analyses was carried out. Moreover, separate cross partial pairwise intraclass correlations conducted in order to examine the relationship between one partner's conflict distress level, conflict attributions (self/partner blame), perceived conflict behaviors (similarity/difference) and the other partner'
s relationship satisfaction
and to examine the relationship between one partner'
s conflict distress, conflict attributions (self/partner blame) and the other partner'
s perceived conflict behaviors (similarity/difference). Additionally, it was also aimed to examine demographic variables'
(namely, gender) effects on each variable and in all analysis. The results revealed that higher levels of conflict distress and perceived difference on conflict behaviors predict lower levels of relationship satisfaction. Additionally, results yielded that in predicting women'
s relationship satisfaction conflict distress accounts as the only variable, whereas for men similarity on perceived conflict behaviors and blaming self predicted relationship saitsfaction. It is also found that one partner'
s conflict distress, partner blame and perceived conflict behavior difference negatively correlated with the other partner'
s relationship satisfaction
and one partner'
s conflict distress and partner blame is positively correlated with the other partner'
s perceived conflict behaviors (similarity/difference). Furthermore, results indicated no gender differences on conflict distress level, conflict attributions (self/partner blame), and perceived conflict behavior (similarity/difference). The results are discussed in the light of literature.

Full textAbstract:
Since 1988, the states of Armenia and Azerbaijan have been engaged in conflict over the enclave of Nagorno Karabakh. The conflict has developed into one of the most intractable and complicated disputes in the international arena, with the main parties being the two rivalling sovereign states plus the 'unrecognised state' of Nagorno Karabakh. Despite the optimistic statements and claims by the OSCE and after many years of negotiations and talks, the peace process remains in stalemate. The research argues the virtues of Track Two diplomacy and highlights the successful instances where it has made important contributions to the 'official' or Track One diplomatic process. It also explores the potential of a 'no war no peace' situation by discerning the factors influencing the progress of the conflict. The research shows that a deeper understanding of the obstacles to peace is achieved by appreciating the significance of historical events as well as recognising the motives and interests of the different parties. The study reviews all major factors which have led to the failure of resolution efforts, particular the negative role played by Russia. It concludes that the scholars in the field of conflict resolution can bring about a lasting peace to this region, provided there is a fundamental change in the structure of the co-chairs of the OSCE.

Full textAbstract:
In the recent years, majority of African countries have been faced by conflicts during election periods. Some of the electoral related conflicts escalated into violence, and they have been transformed or managed. While other electoral related conflicts have just been prevented during the election periods but remain latent conflicts that would escalate triggered by future elections. This study focuses specifically on electoral conflicts in Kenya and its conflict management perspective from 2002-2013. To transform and manage the conflict, peacebuilding initiatives have been integrated in the study. The prime actors in Kenya electoral conflict includes the; the ruling party coalition, the leading opposition coalition and ethnic groupings affiliated to the ruling party and opposition. Other peripheral actors include: the Independent, Electoral and Boundary Commission (IEBC), the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the judiciary. Triangulation (the combination of two or more methods of collecting and analysing data) has been adopted both in data collection and analysis. Focus group interviews, selected individual interviews, and literature reviews were used to collect data, while research findings were analysed systematically using the constructivist grounded theory. Moreover, the liberal peace theory, Institutionalisation before Liberalisation (IBL) and findings from other researchers like (Elder, Stigant and Claes 2014:1-20), and the Afrobarometer research findings (Kivuva 2015) have been used to authenticate the research findings. Research findings indicates that claims of election rigging, numerous institutional failures, negative ethnicity and economic disparity, among other factors heighten the fear and anxiety that escalates during elections. Towards achieving peacebuilding and sustainable peace, the following reforms were undertaken: constitutional changes and reviews, electoral body reform, judicial reform, pursuit of transitional justice, extensive range of local initiatives reforms and police reforms. However, findings in the study also reveal that despite the latter reforms, peacebuilding measures have been short-term, temporal, and not fully successful, leaving behind a latent conflict that could be triggered again with future electoral conflicts. Besides that, negotiation, dialogue and mediation played a role in restoring trust and confidence in the democratic structures after escalated elections. We also recommend that multi-ethnic composition for electoral coalitions should also be adopted as a means to mitigate ethnic triggered conflicts.

Previous issue date: 2014-12-19In complex federal systems as that found in Brazil, which provides simultaneous attributions to of the Union, States and Cities in many aspects, the definition of performance limits of each of these entities, in procedural or material aspect, generates many (positive and/or negative) competence conflicts, bringing insecurity to general administered. Environmental licensing is one of the most important instruments of environmental management, seeking the realization of the fundamental right to an ecologically balanced and sustainable development. Despite its importance, the environmental licensing has not been more effective due the conflict related to the authority to regulate regardind environmental law. This essay will analyze the structure of competence distribution for conducting the environmental licensing processes, the conflict between laws, the performance of the municipal environmental agencies, the cooperation between the licensing agencies and the future about the additional regulatory law of article 23 of Federal Constitution

Full textAbstract:
This thesis proposes a new method for solving systems of linear constraints over the rational and real numbers (or, equivalently, linear programming) - the conflict resolution method. The method is a new approach to a classic problem in mathematics and computer science, that has been known since the 19th century. The problem has a wide range of real-life applications of increasing importance in both academic and industrial areas. Although, the problem has been a subject of intensive research for the past two centuries only a handful of methods had been developed for solving it. Consequently, new results in this field may be of particular value, not mentioning the development of new approaches. The motivation of our research did not arise solely from the field of linear programming, but rather was instantiated from problems of Satisfiability Modulo Theories (or shortly SMT). SMT is a new and rapidly developing branch of automated reasoning dedicated to reasoning in first-order logic with (combination) of various theories, such as, linear real and integer arithmetic, theory of arrays, equality and uninterpreted functions, and others. The role of linear arithmetic in solving SMT problems is very significant, since a considerable part of SMT problems arising from real-life applications involve theories of linear real and integer arithmetic. Reasoning on such instances incorporates reasoning in linear arithmetic. Our research spanned the fields of SMT and linear programming. We propose a method, that is not only used for solving linear programming problems, but also is well-suited to SMT framework. Namely, there are certain requirements imposed on theory reasoners when they are integrated in SMT solving. Our conflict resolution method possesses all the attributes necessary for integration into SMT. As the experimental evaluation of the method has shown, the method is very promising and competitive to the existing ones.

Esta investigación contribuye a comprender el concepto de tejido social y su relación con el campo de la música colectiva para la construcción de paz. La investigación tuvo como objetivo identificar los aportes de los espacios musicales colectivos con víctimas del conflicto armado a la reconstrucción del tejido social de sus participantes. Específicamente se centró en el programa Música para la Reconciliación de la Fundación Nacional Batuta en Colombia. A través de la metodología de historias de vida la investigación se acercó a 17 familias participantes en los espacios de formación musical y psico-social de cuatro centros musicales diferentes del país. La investigación encuentra que el conflicto armado y los procesos de desplazamiento forzado posteriores a las vivencias violentas dejan a las familias frente a pérdidas humanas, económicas y sociales que les generan una alta desconfianza y les avocan al aislamiento. Lo anterior genera un no-lugar donde el sujeto rompe su vínculo con la sociedad. El espacio musical colectivo logra generar las condiciones para brindar a los participantes una identidad musical temporal que les devuelve su lugar social aportando al alivio emocional, la reconstrucción de sus redes y la circulación de recursos intangibles cohesionadores que permiten la confianza en sí mismo y en los demás.This research contributes to understand the concept of social fabric and its relationship with the field of collective music for the construction of peace. The research aimed to identify the contributions of the collective musical spaces with victims of the armed conflict to the reconstruction of the social fabric of its participants. Specifically, he focused on the Music for Reconciliation program of the National Batuta Foundation in Colombia. Through the methodology of life stories, the research approached 17 families participating in the musical and psycho-social training spaces of four different musical centers in the country. The investigation finds that the armed conflict and the processes of forced displacement after violent experiences leave families with human, economic and social losses that generate a high distrust and lead them to isolation. The foregoing generates a non-place where the subject breaks its link with society. The collective musical space manages to generate the conditions to provide participants with a temporary musical identity that gives them back their social place contributing to emotional relief, the reconstruction of their networks and the circulation of cohesive intangible resources that allow self-confidence and the rest.

Full textAbstract:
The conflict research subdiscipline within international relations commonly distinguishes international conflict between nation-states from civil war within nation-states. By regarding conflict research as a state-centric geopolitical discourse the thesis challenges this categorisation because (1) of the many links and therefore blurry practical distinction between the two, and (2) stateless nations can be involved in conflict with other nations, thus constituting an 'international' conflict. To overcome this problem an alternative, nation-centric critical geopolitics of international conflict is proposed. In this way the thesis aims to extend both conflict research and critical geopolitics. To do this the critique utilises recent literature on the contemporary conceptualisation of nation and nationalism to argue against the conventional conflation of nation and state and to reconstruct the adjective "international". Recognising that nations can exist without also being states enables the conceptualisation of international, and when such nations come into conflict, either with other stateless nations or nations that are states, this becomes 'international conflict'. This typology allows for conventional 'international' conflict, or rather inter-state conflict, by distinguishing between ethnic and official nations.
The theoretical argument is reinforced by consideration of an empirical case study, that of the Kurds of the Middle East. The Kurds are presented as a distinct and unique stateless nation, the largest in the world, in conflict with the Persian (Iran), Arab (Iraq), and Turkish (Turkey) nations that surround them. The case study is undertaken through analysis of the Kurds and their national homeland of Kurdistan at the local, Middle Eastern, and global scales, each demonstrating in different ways the divergence of nation and state and, in the case of the latter two discussions, an example of an international conflict.

This study used qualitative methods to examine if there was a connection between conflict resolution styles used with siblings in adolescence and conflict resolution styles utilized in current romantic committed relationships. The Conflict Resolution Behavior Questionnaire (Reese-Weber, & Bartle-Haring, 2003) and Gottman‟s (1994a, 1994b) couple-conflict types as adapted by Holman and Jarvis (2003) were administered to 144 participants through an online questionnaire. Analysis of the CRBQ using a multiple regression indicated participant‟s self-rating of compromise, attack, and avoidant conflict resolution styles used with siblings when an adolescent predicted current self-ratings of compromise, attack, and avoidant conflict resolution styles utilized in current romantic relationships.

Full textAbstract:
Since the 1990s, participation has become the dominant method for multinational mining corporations to contain conflict with people affected by mining. Yet conflict, including violent confrontation, remains prevalent. The literature documents a wide range of outcomes of participatory mechanisms – they may produce compromise, exacerbate conflict or even create new opportunities for conflict – yet there is little literature explaining such variance. This thesis explains this diversity in terms of (a) factors involved in the design and implementation of participatory mechanisms by multinational miners and (b) factors determining how, when and why people affected by mining participate or not. I use the ‘modes of participation’ framework to analyse how institutional and ideological foundations for participation shape who can participate, on what issues and when. I argue that participatory mechanisms including corporate social responsibility (CSR) and community development are neither simple outcomes of corporate ethics nor merely greenwashing strategies, as they are often presented. Rather, participation is a mechanism of rule to both contain manifestations of conflict risky to corporate profitability and create social relations amenable to extractive accumulation.
Qualitative data are drawn from fieldwork across three case studies in Indonesia – the proposed coastal Kulon Progo sand iron mine in Yogyakarta, Newcrest’s Gosowong gold mine in North Maluku and Rio Tinto’s ex-Kelian gold mine in East Kalimantan. These cases are placed within an analysis of global corporate self-governance that has arisen in response to broader crises of legitimacy. Findings highlight the importance of historically constituted social relations and contestation across local and global scales in shaping participation. Particularly important for how people affected by mining participate are their control of land, histories of organisation, alliance structures and ideologies. These factors shape the desire and capacity of people affected by mining to resist or secure benefits from participation in mining developments.

Full textAbstract:
Studies on the effects of marital conflict and child adjustment have documented a consistent relationship between higher amounts of marital conflict and increased child adjustment problems. Recently, researchers have focused on viewing children's perceptions of marital conflict as an important variable that may influence the strength of the association between marital conflict and child adjustment. Recent research has indicated that children's perceptions of interparental conflict may influence overall child adjustment. The present study examined the relationship between marital conflict and child adjustment and the role of children's perceptions of marital conflict in a clinical sample.Forty-four 8- to 12-year-old children and one of their parents participated in this study. Adult participants completed four questionnaires: (1) The O'Leary- Porter Scale; (2) The Conflict Tactics Scale; (3) The Child Behavior Checklist; and (4) a demographic questionnaire. The child participants completed one scale, The Children's Perception of Interparental Conflict Scale. The following research questions were investigated: (1) Is parental assessment of marital conflict related to child adjustment in a clinical sample? (2) Are children's appraisals of marital conflict related to child adjustment in a clinical sample? (3) Are boys' appraisals of interparental conflict related to the parents' appraisals of interparental conflict in a clinical sample? (4) Are girls' appraisals of interparental conflict related to the parents' appraisals of interparental conflict in a clinical sample? And (5) Are children's perceptions of marital conflict better predictors of child adjustment than parents' perceptions of marital conflict in a clinical sample?A significant relationship was found between parents' perceptions of marital conflict and child adjustment. However, children's perceptions of marital conflict did not significantly predict their overall adjustment. In accordance with these findings, it was also found that parents' perceptions of marital conflict were better predictors of child adjustment than children's perceptions of marital conflict in a clinical sample. It was also found that boys' appraisals of marital conflict were significantly related to parents' appraisals of marital conflict. Whereas, girls' perceptions of marital conflict were not significantly related to parents' perceptions of marital conflict. Implications and limitations of these findings and recommendations for future research were discussed.Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores conflict and its management among Quakers by probing deeply the dynamics of cultural and social change. This interpretation is based on three months of participant observation, semi-structured interview with informants, and a brief literature review of Quaker literature regarding conflict management. Conflict was examined by revising the model employed by Clifford Geertz to study social change. The model uses the concepts of social structure, culture and self to identify potential areas of conflict among Quakers. Four constructions are identified. The first, 'The Principled Construction of Conflict is based on Quaker principles of conflict and its management found in their formal statements. The 'Conceptual Definitions' come from the informants conscious attempts to define 'conflict.' A 'Folk Construction' is based on the informants informal discussions about conflict. A'Practiced Construction of Conflict' deals with the manner Quakers go about managing conflict in their daily behavior.Department of Anthropology
