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?
  - Federica Riccadonna antwortete vor 12 Jahren, 9 Monaten
    
    Dear Osiris, an internal dimension of conflict could be the ATTITUDE of a person of reacting in a violent manner.
    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]

This analysis is lackluster and revelatory at the same time. What is wrong with these people always egging us on to war???

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