Beskrivning
In this perceptive book, Arie Nadler examines the historical development and varying definitions of reconciliation, drawing on social psychological research to elucidate its underlying processes. Nadler explores post-conflict reconciliation through a variety of lenses, assessing conciliatory behaviors among animals, philosophical approaches, and instrumental versus socio-emotional processes of reconciliation.Analyzing Hegel, Arendt and Amery’s understanding of reconciliation and considering the role of victimhood in intergroup reconciliation, Nadler grapples with the threat of reignited conflict post resolution. He addresses social psychological research on promoting trusting relations between former adversaries and ameliorating conflict-related threats to their identities. Chapters consider how former enemies may cooperate to build trust, and the effects of truth commissions and public apologies on conciliatory tendencies. The book sheds light on real-world efforts to build trust and stable reconciled intergroup relations between former enemies. The book highlights remaining dilemmas in the study of post-conflict reconciliation.This book is an essential resource for scholars and students of social psychology, political science, and sociology. It is also a beneficial read for professionals promoting ceasefires, and practitioners in governmental services and NGOs working towards an end to international and intra-societal unrest.

Recensioner i media

‘This extraordinary work represents an exemplary achievement in the study of reconciliation – a masterful synthesis that bridges evolutionary biology, philosophy, and social psychology to illuminate one of humanity's most pressing challenges. Professor Nadler has crafted not merely an academic treatise, but a profound exploration of how former adversaries can transform hate into hope, distrust into cooperation, and cycles of violence into pathways toward peace. Arie Nadler demonstrates that intergroup reconciliation is far more complex because it involves collective identities, historical narratives, and representatives apologizing for crimes they may not have personally committed. This distinction is crucial because what works between individuals often fails between groups, explaining why many well-intentioned reconciliation efforts founder. This book offers hope without naivety. Arie Nadler acknowledges that not all crimes are reconcilable – some wrongdoings are so extreme that they cannot be accepted as part of our shared world. Yet the book demonstrates that even in seemingly intractable conflicts, pathways to reconciliation exist when we understand the psychological processes involved and create appropriate conditions for their activation.’
