David Becker - The politics of trauma
In the context of peace-building the work with individual victims in conflict and postconflict constellations is still often falsely perceived as an expert activity that belongs to the domain of health and social work. However, In fact, the work with the victims of oppression and persecution, i.e. everything that can be roughly summarized as "trauma work", is central not only in the context of transitional justice in post-conflict areas but also already during the conflict. Furthermore, the fundamental psychosocial dimensions are relevant for every conflict transformation process. The lecture defines and clarifies some conceptual fundamentals (sequential traumatization, psycho-social conflict perspectives) and uses example cases from Palestine, Tadzhikistan and Chile to demonstrate the political-structural relevance of the psychosocial work.
Political Means for Non-Violent Conflict Transformation

coordinated and coherent transformation of conflicts. In the first part of the discussion the different actors, approaches and methods will be presented. The second part will focus on the necessity of coordinating these actors and show possibilities for developing a comprehensive and coherent overall concept.
