Analytical Tools for Understanding Conflict
Development of tools that help to analyse conflict
2011
This dossier presents a diverse set of analytical tools that have proved useful in understanding conflict as a step towards undertaking action.
Method
Modus Operandi and Irenees have asked 10 organisations with an impressive record in conflict transformation to reflect on their practices and to describe one analytical tool that their organisation works with. By making these experiences available to a wide public we hope to contribute to the knowledge about HOW to transform conflicts. Too often valuable insights remain in the heads of inspired facilitators and peacemakers.
The tools that we have come up with come from different regions, cultures and languages. The tools are strongly rooted in field experience. This means that they have been developed with regard to a particular conflict experience and need to be understood within a specific context. They will not be automatically replicable elsewhere.
The authors of the tools are aware that we constantly borrow, adapt, invent and share ideas and tools. They have cited where possible, but in many cases it was difficult to say who was at the origin of a tool. In the adaptation of the tool to a local context lies an important contribution. It is that which we seek to share with other facilitators, peacebuilders and conflict workers.
Finally, the initiators of this project do not adhere to a particular theoretical school apart from their conviction that non-violent conflict transformation is a condition to sustainable peace. They seek to gather tools that are inspired by a wide range of theoretical approaches.
Tool
The analytical tools presented here exist of two components.
1. A document describing the tool, which takes into account the following elements:
-
Purpose: In which types of conflict is this tool useful? Are there types of conflict in which this tool is not very useful?
-
Context: In which context has it been developed, for what groups of people and at what level of conflict (interpersonal, local, regional, national, international).
-
Tool: An image or a diagram of the analytical tool that visualises the model and a a detailed description of how the model should be used in the analysis of conflict.
-
Theory: What theory or belief system is the tool based on? What are its underlying hypotheses? What does it teach us about conflict dynamics?
-
Bibliographical references
2. A case-study that presents a conflict situation and applies the analytical model. From the case-study it becomes clear why and in what situations the tool has been helpful for conflict transformation.
