Societies in Transition

The Caucasus and the Balkans between Conflict and Reconciliation. Edited by Carolina Rehrmann, Rafael Biermann and Phillip Tolliday. The present volume is concerned with strategies of conflict resolution and prevention subsumed under the concept of reconciliation. It aims at understanding the socio-emotional root causes of political cleavages and daily realities of (post-) conflict societies, especially regarding the impact of competing narratives and unprocessed pasts on exclusive identities and strategic political choices. Applying reconciliation theory, insights from collective memory and transitional justice to a series of selected field studies, it sheds light on the origins of interethnic violence, aims at finding explanations for the fact that many of the above-mentioned conflicts have become intractable and discusses the chances and challenges for transforming interests, emotions, perspectives, roles and identities between and within the respective societies. With contributions by Despina Angelovska, Eva-Maria Auch, Fernando Avakian, Sanja Copic, Michael Humphrey, Mariat Imaeva, Ekaterina Klimenko, Sonja Arsham Kuftinec, Vesna Nikolic-Ristanovic, Michelle Veljanovska and Jovana Janinovic. 351 Seiten, gebunden (Research in Peace and Reconciliation; Vol. 5/Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2020) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
