[சுருக்கம் இயந்திரம்-மொழிபெயர்க்கப்பட்ட] கோட்பாடு, ஆராய்ச்சி மற்றும் நடைமுறையை இணைப்பதற்கான சவால்களைக் கையாளுகிறது, மேலும் சமூக மாற்றத்தின் அனைத்து தொடர்புடைய துறைகளிலும் அவ்வாறு செய்வதற்கான உத்திகளை வழங்குகிறது. மோதலின் கட்டமைப்பு ஆதாரங்கள் மோதல் பகுப்பாய்வு மற்றும் தலையீட்டு செயல்முறைகளின் வடிவமைப்பில் ஒப்பீட்டளவில் புறக்கணிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன என்று ஆசிரியர் வாதிடுகிறார். இந்த நிலைமை தலைகீழாக மாறும் வரை, நிலையான, அமைதியான மற்றும் நியாயமான உறவுகளை உருவாக்குவது கடினம்.

ГлоссарийHandbook Article
[Абстрактный машинный перевод] Авторы, занимающиеся изучением конфликтов, часто используют ключевые термины в произвольной и противоречивой форме, отражая реальность того, что концепции не были четко определены. Чтобы способствовать последовательному использованию этих терминов, для целей Руководства Бергхофа по трансформации конфликтов были приняты следующие определения. Тем не менее отдельные авторы иногда использовали некоторые термины особым образом по отношению к конкретному аргументу в своей главе. В этих обстоятельствах специальное использование термина ясно объяснено, в противном случае следующие определения являются общими в Справочнике.

On Good TermsClarifying Reconciliation (Report No. 14)
My aim here is to address some of the deep confusion that still surrounds the term reconciliation, and its practice in post-violence peacebuilding. Despite its generally acknowledged importance, there remains great disagreement over what reconciliation actually means and, in particular, how it relates to other concepts and processes, such as justice, peacebuilding, democratisation and political development.

"Local Ownership" in Conflict Transformation ProjectsPartnership, Participation or Patronage?
The article argues that the demand for local ownership in externally funded conflict transformation projects is counterproductive, if it is seen as a concrete project objective. Nevertheless, the demand has an important function as policy ideal, pointing to the necessity for change in present international cooperation. Instead of aiming towards the impossible goal of literal “local ownership” of a foreign-funded project, which by definition inscribes the roles of donor and beneficiary, the focus should be on the nature of the relationship between the donors and the beneficiaries. It is within this relationship that power is or is not shared and that the equality of the partners may or may not be realised. The concept of "learning sites" can be used as a framework to counter asymmetrical relationships and develop a more equal partnership between “insiders” and “outsiders” in international peacebuilding work.

Social Change and Conflict TransformationHandbook Dialogue Series No. 5 - complete
In his lead article, Christopher Mitchell, Professor Emeritus of George Mason University’s Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution (ICAR), sets out a framework for thinking systematically about the relationship between conflict and (social) change. He considers necessary changes to bring about the resolution of conflict, as well as obstacles to such changes, and envisions possible roles for agents of change. Five authors have expanded on, and critically reviewed, this lead article: Ed Garcia (International Alert), Chris Spies (UNDP Guyana), Ilana Shapiro (University of Massachusetts), Vivienne Jabri (King's College London) and Daniela Körppen (Berghof Peace Support).
