摘要

本文讨论了以社区为基础的建设和平努力在饱受冲突蹂躏的社区发展可持续和平的功效。使用参与性行动研究(PAR)是为冲突制定可持续解决方案的有力手段:它提供了检验和平理论的手段,并利用社区的知识和优势来制定干预措施。如果不能在国家或区域范围内理解所获得的知识,特别是在利益分歧可能破坏以社区为基础的建设和平成就的情况下,这些知识可能会丢失。整体方法促进可持续和平并促进适用于其他情况的学习。尼日利亚和津巴布韦的两个案例研究确定了可能适用于制定政策和做法的广泛原则。在尼日利亚,两个社区经历了多年的冲突。PAR部分以参与性对话为基础。在津巴布韦,政治冲突是通过发展一个互利的和平花园来解决的。

The Efficacy of Community Peacebuilding in African Communities: Case Studies From Nigeria and Zimbabwe
This article discusses the efficacy of community-based peacebuilding efforts to develop sustainable peace in conflict-torn communities. Using participatory action research (PAR) is a powerful means of developing sustainable solutions to a conflict: It provides the means to test peace theories and draw upon a community’s knowledge and strengths in order to develop interventions. The knowledge gained can be lost if not understood within national or regional contexts, particularly if there is divergence between interests that can destroy community-based peacebuilding accomplishments. Holistic approaches facilitate sustainable peace and foster learning applicable to other situations. Two case studies, Nigeria and Zimbabwe, identified broad principles that potentially can be applied in the development of policies and practices. In the Nigerian case, two communities had experienced years of conflict. The PAR component was based on participatory dialogue. In the Zimbabwe case, political conflict was resolved through the development of a mutually beneficial peace garden.
