Conflict Resolution: Trends and Prospects

The symposium on Conflict Resolution: Trends and Prospects held between October 3rd-8th, 2001, sought to review, chart, analyze and where possible, synergize the theory and practice of Critical Security Studies, Conflict Management and Resolution and Peace Studies.

The symposium reflected the need to advance a general understanding of the conceptual underpinnings of conflict resolution, the specific challenges for South Asia and the importance of factoring in gender in conflict analysis. Spread over a period of five days it focused on Interrogating Conflict, Responding to Conflict, Experiences of Conflict, Paradigms of Conflict Resolution, Gender and Conflict and Conflict in South Asia. Alongside the more formal plenary lectures, these basic themes were addressed through interactive workshops and roundtable discussions. Alternative mediums such as films, video clips, role- plays and puppetry also formed part of the formats used. The multiple formats through which the theme of conflict resolution was addressed were designed to facilitate maximum interaction and sharing of information among participants at various levels of seniority, in a non- hierarchical and mutually enriching manner.
