AB - Social conflict is broadly defined as a circumstance in which at least “one party manifests the belief that it has incompatible goals with another”(Kriesberg, 2003:7). If social conflict is waged within the context of political and judicial institutions, it is considered to be positive and even essential to maintaining healthy democracy. Yet, if it erupts violently outside of political and judicial boundaries, conflict becomes a negative force, which destroy people’s livelihood and the cohesive community life to which individuals’ identity and safety is deeply connected. In an effort to resolve complex social conflicts, an innovative approach called conflict resolution has been developed and practiced mainly by civil society actors over the last twenty-five years in Western democracies such as the US or the UK. Civilsociety actors have utilised a wide variety of methods that range from community-based conciliation, problem-solving workshops, and conflict resolution skills training to public dialogue over policy issues that address the destructive dynamics of conflict.
By conducting case studies on twonon-governmental organisations(NGOs) engaged in conflict resolution activities in the US, this article seeks to examine how civil society actors have participated in addressing and resolving social conflict in particular cultural, social, and political circumstances. To be specific, this article attempts to understand how thenotion of conflict resolution has been applied to accomplish three positive impacts effective conflict management, empowerment of individuals for civic participation, and violent prevention. The analysis of conflict resolution programs also seeks to understand the extent to which the case study organisations contribute to enhance the capacity of citizens to become meaningful participants in civil society realms and democratic processes overall.
