Dilemmas of Conflict Transformation and Power Dynamics with Alain Lempereur
Manage episode 353425209 series 3395501
Professor Alain Lempereur discusses the Dilemmas of Conflict Transformation and Power Dynamics. As a professor, author of publications in conflict resolution and coexistence, and an active expert member of the global experts in negotiation programs, Alain holds an essential experienced opinion to shape change narratives. In this podcast, I seek to explore why conflicts recur and, most importantly, who pays the price while a handful of minorities shape the lives of the world's population. Furthermore, I ask whether Accademia plays a role, assuming that most of the world's ongoing and past negotiations are managed by actors from a particular school of liberal or local agendas. To that, a key question followed to find out if a change in the narrative away from the colonial legacies could not be an option to build a better sense of ownership in most of the peacebuilding processes, so far failing to address the root causes of conflict and the use of more exclusive approaches to negotiation.
