This report is part of a wider comparative research project generously funded by the German Foundation for Peace Research and implemented by the Berghof Foundation. With the title 鈥�Peaceful Coexistence? 鈥楾raditional鈥� and 鈥楴on-traditional鈥� Conflict Resolution Mechanisms鈥�, the project analyses the patterns of coexistence between 鈥榯raditional鈥� (indigenous, local, community-based) and 鈥榥on-traditional鈥� (imported, liberal, state-based) approaches to conflict resolution based on field research in Colombia, Liberia and Northeast India. The main focus of the research project is whether the coexistence of traditional and nontraditional mechanisms of conflict resolution leads to tension and competition between these mechanisms, thereby potentially furthering conflict, or whether the coexistence leads to more (or better) conflict resolution options for the population, thereby promoting conflict settlement processes.
