Abstract

ABSTRACT Studies have examined the dimensions and components of conflict analysis. However, little or no review attention has been paid to understanding the conceptual perspectives, theoretical underpinnings and methodological issues. Hence, this paper aimed at filling the gaps and answered the basic questions: Is conflict analysis a potential tool for peacebuilding? In what ways does conflict analysis influence the practice of peacebuilding? How can conflict analysis cover the limitations of peacebuilding? Using secondary data sources, this paper underscored the perspectives and theoretical discourse which underpin the context and structural dynamics of conflict analysis. It also discussed methodological issues by exposing its different levels of practical benefit. Evident examples of conflict analysis were reviewed with notable instances in Africa. This paper, therefore, found out that conflict analysis has great potential for facilitating positive value and social coherence for peacebuilding practices. On the one hand, the outcome of conflict analysis has a direct response to the implementation of peacebuilding strategies. On the other hand, conflict analysis exposes complementary problems resulting in the limitations of peacebuilding. Also, this paper contributed to knowledge by remedying the limitations of peacebuilding. It concluded that a broad participation network would guarantee insightful conflict analysis towards the enhancement of peacebuilding.

建设和平中的冲突分析:综述

摘要研究考察了冲突分析的维度和组成部分。然而，很少或根本没有对理解概念视角、理论基础和方法问题给予审查关注。因此，本文件旨在填补空白，并回答了以下基本问题：冲突分析是否是建设和平的潜在工具？冲突分析以何种方式影响建设和平的实践？冲突分析如何涵盖建设和平的局限性？利用二级数据来源，本文强调了冲突分析的背景和结构动态的视角和理论话语。它还通过揭示其不同程度的实际效益来讨论方法问题。审查了冲突分析的明显例子和非洲的显著例子。因此，本文发现，冲突分析在促进建设和平实践的积极价值和社会一致性方面具有巨大潜力。一方面，冲突分析的结果对建设和平战略的执行有直接的反应。另一方面，冲突分析暴露了导致建设和平局限性的互补问题。此外，本文件弥补了建设和平的局限性，对知识有所贡献。它得出的结论是，一个广泛的参与网络将保证深入分析冲突，以加强建设和平。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
