DEVELOPING THEORIES AND CONCEPTS OF RECONCILIATION
There is a need for greater clarification and systemisation of theories of reconciliation and its connection to violence, conflict and peace. Particular attention must be paid to developing a deeper understanding of how reconciliation can be used as a concept in the social sciences. This includes careful attention to current debates about different types of reconciliation, including social, political, theological, and individual reconciliation. This work will be mainly carried out by scholars interested in general theories in the social sciences and in philosophy.
