Trust, distrust and conflict between social groups have existed
throughout the history of humankind, although their forms have
changed. Using three main concepts: culture, representation and
dialogue, this book explores and re-thinks some of these changes in
relation to concrete historical and contemporary events. Part I
offers a symbolic and historical analysis of trust and distrust
while Parts II and III examine trust, distrust and conflict in
specific events including the Cyprus conflict, Estonian collective
memories, coping with HIV/AIDS in China, Swedish asylum seekers,
the Cuban missile crisis and Stalinist confessions. With an
impressive array of international contributors the chapters draw on
a number of key concepts such as self and other, ingroup and
outgroup, contact between groups, categorization, brinkmanship,
knowledge, beliefs and myth. Trust and Conflict offers a fresh
perspective on the problems that arise from treating trust,
distrust and conflict as simplified indicators. Instead, it
proposes that human and social sciences can view these phenomena
within the complex matrix of interacting perspectives and
meta-perspectives that characterise the social world. As such it
will be of interest to undergraduates, postgraduates and lecturers
of human and social sciences especially social psychology,
sociology, political science and communication studies.
