Comments/contents:
If systematic violence is perpetrated by a state, this is not only a traumatic experience for individual victims, but in the worst case can severely burden entire societies for many decades to come. This is shown, for example, by the consequences of Germany's history of violence and is already evident in the war in Ukraine. Under the key word “Dealing with the past”, conflict management covers very different ways of dealing with systemic injustice toward a process of reconciliation. Political measures and legal instruments can be identified, but also a personal-psychological level and a social dimension. The topic of “Dealing with the Past” has great significance for many areas of peace and conflict research. This is because coming to terms with massive systemic injustice in (post-) conflict societies is not only relevant from a legal point of view, but is at least as interesting in terms of peace and security policy, as well as being significant for peace and military ethical considerations.
Learning objectives:
The aim of this course is to offer an interdisciplinary approach to this complex topic in a joint learning process. The essential questions can be reflected on own and selected case studies. Taking into account the diversity of experiences, countries and cultures of remembrance, the focus will be on the responsibility of individuals, societies, states and institutions. Participants will be able to develop an awareness of the need to deal with the past and learn about different ways of coming to terms with history.
