We know that since the end of the Cold War, conflicts in
non-Western countries have been frequent, frequently violent,
largely intra-state, and protracted. But what do we know about
conflict management and resolution strategies in these societies?
Have the dominant Western approaches been transplantable, suitable,
effective, durable, and sustainable? Would conflicts in non-Western
societies be better handled by the adaptation and adoption of
customary, traditional, or localized mechanisms of mitigation?
These and similar questions have engaged the attention of scholars
and policy-makers. Indigenous Conflict Management Strategies:
Global Perspectives is offered as a global compendium on indigenous
conflict management strategies. It presents diverse perspectives on
the subject. Fully aware of the tendency in the literature to
over-generalize, over-romanticize, and over-criticize the localized
and customary mechanisms, the book takes a slightly different
approach. It presents a variety of traditional conflict management
approaches as well as several cases of the successful integration
of the indigenous and Western strategies in the contemporary
period. The main features, strengths, challenges, and weaknesses of
a multitude of indigenous systems are also presented.
