Περίληψη:Conflicts have a profound impact on society, human development, and the overall well-being of individuals. Traditional approaches to conflict analysis and resolution often fail to capture the complexity and interconnectedness of conflicts, relying on linear causality and neglecting underlying issues. This thesis explores the value of critical systems practice (CSP) and systemic design as frameworks for conflicts and conflict resolution. CSP emphasizes systems thinking, critical awareness, pluralism, and improvement, promoting holistic understanding and interconnections. Systemic design addresses complex challenges by integrating design, research, and method skills, taking a holistic view of interconnected systems. By adopting these frameworks, conflicts can be approached with a systemic lens, enabling practitioners to raise awareness, challenge false consciousness, and empower marginalized stakeholders. The flexibility and adaptability of CSP and systemic design facilitate collaborative problem-solving and innovative interventions. Through their application, conflicts can be addressed in a nuanced, inclusive, and transformative manner, leading to positive social transformation and the resolution of conflicts.
