As you said, this concept is not so easy to understand.

The difficulty is to see the conflict formation in its general context, which is not only inner (emotional), but it has also an outer aspect […]

  Do you mind explaining to me what this internal dimension of conflicts mean in real life? For example in Syria where people are dying right now?

    For example, in front of the same situation, people act in different ways and this is due to different internal attitude (for different reasons, too long to explore here). In Syria people are fighting for some rights..some are dying in…[Weiterlesen]

So what are you trying to say? That NATO put the wrong guys in power? I think that this is just like Afghanistan 1994 all over again, with the difference, that this time, they will support the mudjahedeen until they have a government and a secure political system. The difference is that they will not abandon them again. This will be a perfect…[Weiterlesen]

A retrospective on the most absurd outcome of this entire intervention. Conservative Poitical Islam getting into power in Libya after 40 years of fierce oppression at the hands of Ghaddaffi who considered them too hardcore for the good of the country – and his own position ofcourse. The question is, did the chiefs of staff know just whom they were…[Weiterlesen]

  I have never studied Galtung’s concept of structural Violence. Can you explain it to me? Everybody in here seems to know what it is about. How does it apply to what is going on in Syria and Iran for example?

Structural Violence. Dear Mrs. Gonzalez, please let us know which aspect of it you are working on and with 🙂 Sounds exciting.

  Dear Mrs. Gonzales, your research is on „how external development aid agents and agencies reproduce structural and cultural violence in the Huichol indigenous community“. Are you speaking about governmental agencies which reproduce internal policies or also international NGOs?I read some books about how humanitarian aid agencies can influence this…[Weiterlesen]

    Dear Federica, I´m working on international and national NGO´s, but I´m also taking a look at national programs and policies (as they provide funding and the enabling space for NGO´s action), so please let me know the titles, I really appreciate it, thanks
