Conflict Resilience and the Image of the Other among North and South Koreans

Manojlovic, Borislava. "Conflict Resilience and the Image of the Other among North and South Koreans." Connections: The Quarterly Journal 19, no. 4 (2020): 109-120.

Introduction

The article aims to articulate key micro-level factors that contribute to the resilience to conflict of South and North Korean communities living in the Seoul metropolitan area. The ideologically, socially and economically diverse communities represent a microcosm of the challenges and opportunities that may emerge with the integration of the two Koreas. The concept of resilience to conflict is observed through a dynamical systems lens.

After the Crisis: The Role of Resilience in Coming Back Stronger

Ferraro, Giulia. "After the Crisis: The Role of Resilience in Coming Back Stronger." Connections: The Quarterly Journal 19, no. 4 (2020): 97-107.

Introduction

There is widespread confusion about the term resilience. The starting point is that its meaning changes depending on whether one speaks in a technical or non-technical sense. Thus, the idea of resilience discussed in engineering is different from the one conveyed in social science. In this article, the author carries out an analysis based on the latter meaning and discusses resilience in the context of global crises and emergencies.

Stabilization Missions – Lessons to Be Learned from Resilience-Based Peacebuilding

Fluri, Philipp H.. "Stabilization Missions – Lessons to Be Learned from Resilience-Based Peacebuilding." Connections: The Quarterly Journal 19, no. 4 (2020): 59-68.

Introduction

Liberal peacebuilding was the predominant concept for peace missions after the fall of the Soviet Union and the disappearance of the bipolar world system. Over time, the high costs associated with liberal peace missions and the rise of violent extremism and state sponsors of terrorism have led to rethinking the ends and means of intervention in fragile or conflict-affected states. Stabilization missions became the new paradigm for interventions, with a strong if not exclusive focus on security.
