This paper provides a behind-the-scenes perspective on the role played by the three branches of intelligence services that resorted under the then apartheid government, during the negotiation process that led to South Africa’s transition to a democratic state. It provides a comparative insight into how, while some people employed in the Military Intelligence and the Security Branch continued to undermine efforts towards a negotiated settlement and political reform, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) worked within a strategic vision that grasped the imperative for change and was able to guide its political principals accordingly.

Develops a basic concept of internationally oriented, context-related and process-oriented peace education with clearly defined target groups. Against this background, the author presents a comprehensive and practical approach to peace education in crisis and conflict regions, the aim being to promote conflict transformation. In this context, a fundamental distinction is made between direct peace education (encounter, inspiration, training) and structural peace education (pilot projects, curricula, implementation). The context-related interaction between these two basic forms is identified as a promising approach and offered up for discussion. Brief case studies from the practice of peace education are presented for the purpose of illustration.

Entwickelt ein Grundverständnis von international ausgerichteter, kontextbezogener und prozessorientierter Friedenspädagogik mit klar definierten Zielgruppen. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird ein umfassender und praxisorientierter Ansatz für Friedenspädagogik in Krisen- und Kriegsregionen präsentiert, der die Transformation von Konflikten fördern will. Dabei wird grundlegend zwischen unmittelbarer Friedenspädagogik (Begegnung, Inspiration, Qualifizierung) und strukturbezogener Friedenspädagogik (Modellprojekte, Curricula, Implementierung) unterschieden. Das kontextbezogene Zusammenspiel dieser beiden Grundformen wird als ein erfolgversprechender Ansatz zur Diskussion gestellt. Fallbeispiele aus der Praxis der Friedenspädagogik verdeutlichen die Überlegungen.
