Overview

This book presents scientific research on how science can be adapted in the fields of reconciliation, conflict transformation, and peace studies. It moves from theory to practice by exploring how science can help develop ""normal"" and, ideally, ""good"" relationships among states, groups, organisations, and individuals. This involves responding to past, present, or potential future incidents of serious significance, such as wars, civil wars, genocides, atrocities, forced displacement, enslavement, dictatorship, oppression, colonialism, apartheid, and other human rights violations and injustices. The aim is to foster a scientific discussion that supports the development of a shared future, enabling the transformation of conflict towards reconciliation, conflict transformation, and peace. Conflict transformation. The book outlines a sequential series linked to the Academic Alliance for Reconciliation, Conflict Transformation, and Peace Studies (AARMENA). This initiative offers a promising approach to transforming violent conflict and encouraging educational, social, cultural, and economic change. This book is designed to help students and researchers in the humanities and social and behavioural sciences who already have some knowledge of research design methods and a basic understanding of areas such as information technology in communication science. It is intended for scholars and researchers interested in the theoretical framework that connects theory and practice within the adaptivity of science in various fields, extending science to transform conflict towards peace. Additionally, it aims to help those seeking to understand social structures by designing and applying case studies and practices that offer insights into the evolving phenomena in peace science.    The Academic Alliance for Reconciliation in the Middle East and North Africa (AARMENA) has successfully published a series of books, including 'Reconciliation and Refugees', 'Reconciliation Heritage and Social Inclusion', and 'Reconciliation, Conflict Transformation and Peace Studies'. AARMENA, together with its members, aims to collaborate with centres around the globe, across different continents, on various aspects of research related to reconciliation and peace studies. Combining research in reconciliation, conflict transformation, and peace studies will help integrate these disciplines within the broader field. AARMENA is in cooperation with the International Books for Peace to distribute its books in 6 continents and 31 countries and was granted the INTERNATIONAL BOOKS FOR PEACE AWARD 2025. Therefore, the book is a collaboration among professors, scholars, and practitioners in the areas of reconciliation, conflict transformation, and peace studies, representing centres from all over the world, such as Martin Leiner, Iyad Aldajani, Milan Krajnc, Lidia Bocanegra Barbecho, Marc Gopin, Diego Checa Hidalgo, Mohmmad Alshraideh, Andreas Oberprantacher, and Ayat Jebril Nashwan.
