Article in African Journal on Conflict Resolution
I am pleased to announce that I have published an article in ACCORD: the African Journal of Conflict Resolution (Vol. 9 No. 1, 2009).
The article is entitled The spirit of the National Peace Accord: The past and future of conflict resolution in South Africa. A condensed version of my research as a Rotary scholar in South Africa, the article examines the groundbreaking initiative called the National Peace Accord, which helped shepherd South Africa away form apartheid. It goes on to look at the government’s new attempt to incorporate traditional justice systems into the state.
One of the central challenges of conflict resolution is measurement: how do you measure the prevention of conflict? It is easier to measure a war than its absence. But for conflict resolution to have a purpose, you have to know when it’s working.
I hope you enjoy the article.
