    Mediating conflicts between groups with different worldviews

    Approaches and methods

    In recent decades, more and more violent conflicts have a religious or cultural dimension and take place between groups adhering to different religious or secular visions of the state and society. When groups with different worldviews are required to share the same (social, political, virtual, economic, or military) space, this can lead to tensions and give rise to violence—ranging from offensive language to physical attacks and open warfare.

    International Peacekeeping in Africa: Actors and Missions

    The Center for Security Studies (CSS) at ETH Zurich in Switzerland will hold a conference the 23-24 November 2012 on International Peacekeeping in Africa, with a particular focus on current actors and missions.

This conference seeks to analyze these developments in their entirety and comparatively in order to identify the most significant challenges and trends in international peacekeeping in Africa.

    Mort violente 1300-1800

    Traverse. Revue d'histoire suisse 2/2008

    Bien que depuis les travaux de Philippe Ariès la mort ait été reconnue comme un objet d’histoire, la recherche historique ne s’est guère préoccupée du thème spécifique de la mort violente. Ce désintérêt paraît d’autant moins justifié que les relations d’une société avec le phénomène de la mort violente rendent compte de l’évolution de ses valeurs — que ce soit sur le plan de l’éthique, de la religion ou encore du rituel.
