Abstract:

Violent conflicts function as disincentives for sustainable socioeconomic development in conflict-prone societies, especially in the Global South. Existing studies focus largely on economic, political, and social triggers of violent conflicts—cultural factors are often not considered. This article studies the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, to investigate the importance of cultural factors in the cycle of violence. Analyzing field data collected in conflict-impacted communities, it is argued that an interplay of political, social, economic, and environmental drivers has engendered violent confl

Through studying conflict transformation in Africa since the Cold War’s end, this paper looks at the dynamic nature of violent conflicts in Africa, as well as how human insecurities have impacted the conflicts. The study surveys literature on conflict trajectory in post-Cold War Africa and human security. Despite the reduction in interstate conflicts and an increase in intrastate conflicts in Africa, the character of the state cannot be seen to have displayed sensitivity to these changes.

With her paper Rape as a War Crime (Politikon 6/2003, p. 55-69), Andrea Theocharis has put an issue on the agenda, which has long been missing in Politikon’s discussions.

Agreeing with Andrea, I will argue that rape and sexual violence are not only systematic and strategic weapons in violent conflicts but gendered crimes which cannot be analyzed appropriately without theorizing social a

Abstract:

In South African municipalities, there has been a coexistence between elected and traditional leaders for decades. However, this coexistence has often been marked by numerous conflicts. These conflicts take different forms and dimensions; while priority has been given to violent conflicts, these conflicts escalate and rescale when not dealt with. However, it appears priority has been given to violent conflicts, making it critical to understand and deal with all forms of conflicts before they escalate. Therefore, this study examined the nature of the conflict in the Greater Giyani municipality

Violence, defined as the intentional inflicting of injury and damage, seems to always have been a fact of human life. Whether in the shape of raids, ambushes, wars, massacres, genocides, insurgences, terrorism, or gang assaults, socially organized violence, that is, human groups orchestrating and committing violent acts, has been a steady companion of human life through the ages. The human quest to make sense of violence is probably as old as violence itself. Academic conflict research both continues and advances this quest.

A practical theological framework of everyday religious practice situates the religious dimensions of these conflicts and also of women’s peacebuilding practices. This paper draws up

The paper examines the gendered dimension of violence in violent conflicts. It examines the theoretical position that violence in conflict is more likely to affect women more than men. This argument is emphasised by examining previous conflict contexts around Africa but primarily referring to Kivu in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The paper underscores the role played by masculinity in spearheading violence towards women during and after conflict. However, the paper also discusses how men are victims of violence in conflict, albeit at a lower rate than women.

Abstract:

It is a daunting task to restore dispossessed land after armed conflicts. Burundi is stuck in this quagmire following years of violent conflicts. Although land restitution is meant to pacify nationals, this depends on the prevailing political, economic, and social circumstances. This study explores these circumstances focused on the armed conflict legacies in Burundi and the disparities between those people who stayed put when violent conflict erupted and displaced people who got back home. The study reveals that in post-Burundi conflict, redressing land issues could flop if governance challen

AbstractWhat explains the emergence of Islamist violence as a substantial security threat in such diverse contexts as Kenya, Mali and Nigeria? This article addresses this question through an exploration of the strategies of governance employed by states, and how these shape the emergence and mode of collective violence. Conflict research often emphasises the specificity of Islamist violence; but these conflicts can be understood as a form of political exclusion and grievance-based violence, comparable to other forms of political violence. Further, violent Islamist groups emerge from local cond

Abstract:

The paper is dealing with the problem of violent behaviour in the reality show "Couples" (Parovi), which is broadcasted on Happy TV, a commercial television with a national frequency in Serbia. Based on the idea that the conditions in reality shows are conducive to violence due to a large amount of character interaction and little plot, and guided by the results of the research that studied violent behaviours in reality shows in the UK, our research aimed to determine which forms of violent behaviour are most prevalent in this reality show, in what situations and under what circumstances viole

Abstract:

It is common to hear the refrain that religion is a major cause of violence today. And this claim is not without merit. Religious differences can fuel animosity and lead to societal conflict. On the other hand, scholars have increasingly recognized the role of religion in overcoming societal divides and helping people to heal and forgive. This paper will examine the latter capacity of religion to minimize the harms that occur during violent conflicts. It will be argued that secular ethical theories often fail to provide any principles or foundations that can help moderate passions, alleviate t

<em>Conflict early warning is supposed to identify and trigger actions to reduce the onset, duration, intensity, and effects of multiple violent conflicts. The study appraised early warning conflict prevention (EWCP) as a panacea for peaceful coexistence in Nigeria. In addition, various empirical literature on the relationship between early warning conflict prevention and peacebuilding was extensively reviewed. The findings from the review showed that the government should develop an effective relationship between early warning and early response to the conflict before violent conflict gets ou

Abstract Herders-farmers violent conflicts and flare-ups have spread throughout central and southern communities in Nigeria, but exclude the urban areas. I examine ‘herders – urban residents’ conflicts. Herders roam their cattle from outskirts to city roads, disrupting traffic and leaving behind trails of excrement and offensive smells causing dangerous nuisance. I argue that the new practice of cattle herders’ encroachments on city roads poses some socio-economic risks such as environmental decay, air pollution, displacement of urban livelihoods, road accidents and non-violent conflicts.

<p><em>Violent conflicts in Africa have claimed millions of lives, displaced many more and mortgaged the continent’s development. Yet, the study of their causes, dynamics and consequences is far from holistic and unified, but is instead fragmented, contested and divided along disciplines. Part of the problem is that, such complex conflicts are not amenable to mono-causal analysis and rigid theorization, but instead can only be better understood through multidisciplinary analyses of contested historical processes in which local and global forces interact to produce contingent, contr

Abstract:

AbstractExisting scholarship on the political economy of political violence, to date, has mostly focused on how formal economies shape or are shaped by conflict and overlooked the informal sector. In this article, we posit that intrastate conflicts are likely to fuel the growth of shadow economies by harming the formal economic sector, undermining governments’ ability to regulate their economies, and fostering illicit trade. We also hypothesize that the effect of internal conflicts spreads across national boundaries, increasing the amount of shadow sector activity in neighboring states. Result

Conflict is found in almost every realm of human interaction. People also have managed to resolve their disagreements without violence, but some turn deadly and violent. Religion inspires some of these bloody conflicts. Religion may not be the principal cause of conflict. However, the conflicts have been portrayed as inter-religious conflicts. Indeed, Religious violence is among the most pressing and dangerous issues that facing the world community today faces. Peace advocates and educators have argued that sustaining any peacebuilding process must include religious traditions. This paper iden

Abstract:

Determining the prospects and methods for the peaceful settlement of violent conflicts in a multi-ethnic and multi-confessional state of Indonesia is associated with an assessment of the degree of objectivity of the underlying causes of such conflicts, primarily the nature of the underlying contradictions and the degree of possibility of their resolution. The way of countering violence as a method of achieving political and economic goals is a consistent limitation of the conflict development of ethno-confessional relations and separatist sentiments in some provinces of the country.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThis paper argues that violent conflict prominently impacts on land governance and so contributes to land conflicts in post-conflict settings. In the natural resources literature, the relationship between land and conflict is often explained in terms of environmental security or political ecology, and many have pointed out that the way land is governed in itself may be a source of conflict. However, less attention has been given to the effects of violent conflict on land and its governance in post-conflict situations. This paper argues that violent conflict affects land governance in m
