- W2740649947 abstract "This case-study is one of a series produced by participants in an ongoing Berghof researchprogram on Resistance and Liberation Movements in Transition. Our overall aim is to learn from theexperience of those in resistance or liberation movements who have used violence in their strugglebut have also engaged politically during the conflict and in any peace process. Recent experiencearound the world has demonstrated that reaching political settlement in protracted social conflictalways eventually needs the involvement of such movements. Our aim here is to discover how, froma non-state perspective, such political development is handled, what is the relationship betweenpolitical and military strategies and tactics, and to learn more about how such movements (oftensweepingly and simplistically bundled under the label of non-state armed groups) contribute tothe transformation of conflict and to peacemaking. We can then use that experiential knowledge(1) to offer support to other movements who might be considering such a shift of strategy, and(2) to help other actors (states and international) to understand more clearly how to engagemeaningfully with such movements to bring about political progress and peaceful settlement.Political violence is a tool of both state and non-state actors, and replacing it by politicalmethods of conflict management is essential to making sustainable peace. With this researchprogram we want to understand better how one side of that equation has been, or could be, achieved.Depending on the particular case, each study makes a strong argument for the necessary inclusion ofthe movement in any future settlement, or documents clearly how such a role was effectively executed.We consciously asked participants to reflect on their experience from their own unique point ofview. What we publish in this series is not presented as neutral or exclusively accurate commentary. Allhistories are biased histories, and there is no single truth in conflict or in peace. Rather, we believe thesecase-studies are significant because they reflect important voices which are usually excluded or devalued inthe analysis of conflict. Increasing numbers of academics, for example, study “armed groups” from outside,but few actually engage directly with them to hear their own points of view, rationales, and understandingsof their context. We are convinced that these opinions and perspectives urgently need to be heard in orderto broaden our understanding of peacemaking. For exactly this reason, each case study has been producedwith the very close co-operation of, and in some cases authored by, members of the movement concerned.As the results amply illustrate, these perspectives are sophisticated, intelligent, political and strategic.The reader may or may not agree with the perspectives expressed. But, much more importantly,we hope that the reader will accept that these perspectives are valid in themselves and must be includedin any attempt at comprehensive understanding of violent conflict and its transformation. We urgentlyneed to understand in more depth the dynamics of organisations who make the transition betweenpolitical violence and democratic politics, in order to improve our understanding of their role, and ourpractice, in making peace." @default.
