This source book is for people working in areas affected by
conflict and violence. Easy to use, well laid out, and including
helpful visual materials, it provides a range of practical tools -
processes, ideas, techniques -- for tackling conflict. These tools
have been developed over a number of years by the organization,
Responding to Conflict (RTC), in collaboration with practitioners
from around the world. It is divided into 4 Parts: * Understanding:
A guide to understanding conflict, including practical techniques
for conflict analysis and the critical issues that must be taken
into account - power, culture, identity, gender and rights. *
Strategies: How to build effective strategies to address conflict,
including how to influence policy within organizations. * Action:
Intervening in situations of acute conflict; addressing the
consequences; and working on the social fabric which conditions the
emergence of conflict. * Evaluation: The skills involved in the
necessary processes of evaluation and learning in order to improve
future interventions. The book embodies and reflects the rich
diversity of over 300 practitioners from some 70 countries who, in
RTC Working with Conflict courses, have pooled their variegated
experience and adapted these methods to suit a wide range of
situations. Examples and cases are drawn from around the world -
including Cambodia, Afghanistan, South Africa, Kenya, Northern
Ireland and Colombia. The book highlights the options available to
individuals and organizations; equips them with a basis on which
they can plan what responses are possible; and strengthens their
capacity to engage in useful interventions. The final chapter
provides a list of key conflict-related and peace-building
resources, including organizations, publications and websites. For
all practitioners who are working in conflict-prone and unstable
parts of the world in the fields of development, relief work, human
rights, community relations, peace and reconciliation, this book
should prove an invaluable support.
