This journal examines the role of the 18th Asia Game as a diplomatic tool in the Korean peninsula conflict in 2018, specifically in promoting peace on the Korean Peninsula. This journal aims to describe and analyze the effectiveness of sports or Olympics affiliated with the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) as a unifying tool in pushing for reunification opportunities on the Korean Peninsula. The 18th Asian Games, on the other hand, has played an essential role in uniting North and South Korea into one unit under the same flag in a variety of ways that have had a positive impact on peace between the two countries. This study employs qualitative research methods, such as literature review and triangulation, to collect data. A descriptive-analytical approach was used to collect and analyze data. This study's analysis employs sports diplomacy theory to examine the effectiveness of sports in resolving conflicts on the Korean Peninsula. Because the current state of the Korean peninsula has not entirely resulted in the ideals of the two countries' reunification, the theory of sports diplomacy can identify the factors that support the reduced intensity of the Korean Peninsula's cold war. One of the factors is the role of sport as a tool of sports diplomacy, which has increased opportunities for promoting peace and conflict resolution to reach a peace agreement between the two parties and eventually lead to reunification.

Peace And Conflict Resolution

This study offers a quantitative analysis of the coverage of Taliban conflict in the four leading newspapers of Pakistan and Afghanistan through the perspective of war and peace journalism—developed by Johan Galtung and adopted by many scholars. Consistent with the existing literature, the researcher found that both the English and vernacular press in the two countries predominantly reported the Taliban conflict through war journalism framing. The local press was equally escalatory while reporting on the conflict. The press in the two countries showed remarkable differences in the war journalism framing but applied similar thematic strategies of peace journalism. The study advocates an academic juncture between political communication and peace journalism scholarship to identify the issues that influence media content during conflict times for better understanding of the potential role of media in peace and conflict resolution.

This paper looked at leadership and education for national security: the role of educational management. This paper posits that leadership and education are vital tools to maintaining national security in Nigeria. The challenges to national security in Nigeria ranges from Boko Haram insurgency, Fulani herdsmen killings, kidnapping and adoption of school children, ethnic and tribal crises, among others. It was suggested that for maintenance of peace and security in the country, the educational managers must ensure that core subject areas in the school curricula are emphasized such as civic education, social studies and peace and conflict resolution studies as well as entrepreneurship and vocational subjects for self employment. The government on her part must ensure that unemployment rate is reduced.

Scientific Value

We present the challenges facing Bulgarian experts in finding the balance between preserving the authenticity of archaeological structures and their context, and turning them into a comprehensible and attractive visitor site. Thanks to European funding over the past ten years, a number of projects have been implemented in Bulgaria for conservation, restoration, exhibition and public presentation of archaeological heritage, where the main aim is to achieve a complete visitor product. The economic and social effect, on the one hand, has a positive impact as an inspiration for archaeological research and the popularisation of this type of cultural heritage, but has led to a compromise of the scientific value at some sites. We note some examples to illustrate the combined role of experts, participants and stakeholders in their 'reading' and 'translating' the archaeology – seeking to generate interest, clarify and convey the experience of 'genius loci'. The role of the state in the management of archaeological heritage is examined through its different governmental levels and interaction. The requirements imposed by legislation and practice are also observed. First, the development of the archaeological heritage conservation system in Bulgaria will be briefly reviewed, its current state of the processes, its actors and the interactions between them, the positive and the negative aspects, and, in more detail, the problems we face in preserving authenticity while turning the archaeological site into an attractive one. Then we focus on our main topic; the authenticity and the attractiveness of archaeological sites in Bulgaria.

It is not an easy feat to identify the origins of conflict in Darfur. It is a conflict so complex that one scholar can blame global warming while another blames a “genocidier” in Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, and both have solid evidence for their case. The obvious factor that led to the Darfur conflict is past conflict in Sudan. The embers of past conflict were still glowing hot in Sudan when the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) was signed between North and South in 2005 to end the civil war. Interestingly, the final years of civil war and the first years of conflict in Darfur coincide with increased oil development in Sudan. The issue of oil and conflict in Sudan is important because it involves the actions of corporations, investments of ordinary citizens around the world and the policies of governments. Part of the policy dialog surrounding Darfur and the lack of government-guaranteed human security relates to Sudan’s oil revenues and their connection to military spending. Certain NGOs have endeavoured to draw a direct link between increased oil revenues and military spending in Sudan, urging investors to divest from certain companies to alleviate suffering and conflict. Queen’s took steps last year to drop investments in certain Chinese oil companies because of their involvement in Sudan. This presentation will: examine the link between oil revenues and military spending in Sudan, explore the efficacy of divestment and other economic sanctions and draw some conclusions on the role of corporations (and their investors) in conflict zones.

Peace And Conflict Resolution

In honor of World Day of Social Justice, on February 24, 2014, Shia RightsWatch and American University held the first-ever conference devoted to presentingnew paradigms for exploring how the rights of the minority Shia Muslimcommunity can be protected against such entrenched realities assubordination, injustice, violence, discrimination, and marginalization. Socialscientists define minority as a culturally, ethnically, religiously, or racially distinctgroup that coexists with, but is subordinate to, a more dominant group.This subordinancy, the chief defining characteristic of any minority, has nothingto do with numbers, a fact perhaps most vividly illustrated by South Africaunder apartheid (c. 1950-91).The conference, held at American University, was cosponsored by theMohammed Said Farsi Chair of Islamic Peace. Well-known and high caliberpolicymakers, professors, and researchers shared their findings in order tooffer solutions designed to foster peace, tolerance, and religious freedom forthis group and the regions in which they reside.In his capacity as the first occupant of the endowed Mohammed SaidFarsi Chair of Islamic Peace as well as the founder of the university-wideCenter for Global Peace, Abdul Aziz Said (School of International Service,American University) welcomed everyone. He remarked that peace is farmore than the absence of war, that it is, in fact, inclusive of social justice, ecologicalsustainability, sustainable economics, and cultural diversity (peace asthe absence of structural violence). Thus, conflict resolution is one of the buildingblocks of peace. Given that the ends we seek and the means that we employin the study of peace and conflict resolution are interconnected, teachingthese two fields must be based on a pedagogy that is itself peace and notmerely a process of certification. He argued that education about peace andconflict resolution and education for peace and conflict resolution are twosides of the same coin. Peace and conflict resolution education combine informationwith liberation and procedure with transformation. He concluded ...

Peace And Conflict Resolution

<p>Women expand their feminist value to protect local societies from conflict impacts which put mostly women and children as victims, in line with the growth of women's capacity in peacekeeping operations. Women perform a significant role as peacekeepers in UN missions for peace and conflict resolutions to create a counterbalance in masculine dominance of UN Peacekeeping Operations based on UNSCR 1325. Women have played an important role as peacekeepers in the UN missions for peace and conflict resolution, to build trust among local communities especially women and children who are vulnerable to sexual harassment and violence. This paper will analyze the strategic role of Indonesia’s female peacekeepers in peace and conflict resolution under UN missions with a qualitative method in the concept of gender equality based on a phenomenological approach. This research finds that Indonesia’s female peacekeepers can provide approaches that can foster the inclusive peace process and become a role model for local women to achieve their right socially and politically. Indonesia’s female peacekeepers prove their vital part in fostering the achievement of peace and conflict resolution with a psychosocial approach that emphasizes psychological recovery and social development by Indonesian Peacekeeping Contingent under UN Missions.</p>

The Impact

Violence and extremism are of the most important topics in current research on religion and interreligious studies. The New World Order and the global peace, justice, and ethics cannot be understood without accounting for the role of religion and religious organizations and among the topics dealing with religion is the matter of violence done by the excuse of religion’s orders. There is increasing research looking at and beyond religious causes of violence, as well as a hope that religion could offer genuinely effective tools to control violence. The question of control of violence is discussed in relation to the spheres of ethics (regulation of effect), theology (the legitimacy of violence), and government (integration via religion). It is shown not only that religion offers possibilities for controlling violence, but also that control of violence via religion. To offer the best example of peaceful negotiations among Muslims and Christian, this article emphasizes on one of the important Islamic proofs narrated from Prophet Muhammad (S), called »The promise of Muhammad to the Christians till the end of the World« and the impact of interreligious and intercultural role on peace and conflict resolution, as well as the role of global ethics. This letter, per se, and its content which is of numerous key points for strengthening the ties between Christians and Muslims, is not only have been accepted and well documented both among Shi’a and Sunnites but also is widely quoted and referred to in Christian sources. Surely considering this letter, is an invalidating point on the extremist crimes committed in the name of Islam.
