Conflict Resolution Blog
John Brewer 800x533
Professor John Brewer
Welcome to the blog run by The Senator George J Mitchell Institute for Global Peace, Security and Justice at Queen’s University

This is intended to offer the opportunity of dialogue between the Institute and the global public on issues of conflict resolution, social justice and peace. 

We will post a variety of different types of blog that appeal to the many local audiences that go to make up this global public space but all reflect the Mitchell Institute’s enduring and long-standing commitment to foster global peace, security and justice. 

Mitchell Institute students and staff will be joined by guest bloggers and world-leading researchers in writing blog posts on issues that speak to global challenges but which have a local reference and resonance in local and regional conflict zones.

Ours is not another blog about Northern Irish politics. The Northern Ireland is only one of many local conflict zones to which we hope our blog posts are relevant. We encourage contributions from people living in and working on other conflict zones and we seek your engagement through comments and other support.

We are committed to civil and polite discourse in the spirit of compromise and dialogue and trust that comments are consistent with this ethical commitment. The Mitchell Institute and Queen’s University, however, do not endorse any of the comments.

The Senator George J Mitchell Institute for Global Peace, Security and Justice at Queen’s University.

Professor of Post Conflict Studies

To navigate these difficult conceptual waters rules are needed. Here are three suggestions (the violence can be direct--as sometimes prescribed by the Abrahamic religions--or structural as by Hinduism):

Half truths, non-truth and Northern Ireland
Professor John Braithwaite | 9 March, 2018

Sequencing has to be important in peacebuilding. Researchers don’t have a good grip on what kind of sequencing works. I used to think that there was a sequence of truth, then justice, then reconciliation that was important to accomplish.

Reconciliation: An Alternative Language of Peace
Professor Daniel Philpott | 9 March, 2018

When it comes to building peace and stability in the wake of war, dictatorship, and genocide around the globe, certain questions and a certain language are dominant.

Hope for “a More Human Face” in Our Post-Conflict Countries
Professor Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela | 9 March, 2018

Every year on September 12, South Africans remember the violent murder of Steve Biko, the icon of the anti-apartheid struggle who was murdered by the apartheid police on this day in 1977.
