Contemporary Conflict Resolution and Islamic Conflict Resolution: Similarity and Differentiation on the Theoretical Level
Abstract: The critiques
towards Cosmopolitan conflict resolution theory that it cannot be applied
universally because it is incompatible with the characteristics of the conflict
in the other part of the world beyond Western significantly influence the
field. Several scholars argue that the theory - specifically cannot help to
solve the current conflicts that generally happen in the Islamic Worlds or
Countries or involved Islamic fundamentalist group because it was taken from
the culture, the norms and the values of Christian Western Europe and North
America experiences. Thus, this rise a question, do we need to have new
perspective or theory of Conflict Resolution to solve particular conflicts in
the Islamic World or Countries - such as from the Islamic perspective? However,
it is not easy since Islam particularly after 9/11 is commonly identified as
religion and culture that inherently violent. Stand from this point of view the
author want to explore on the essay whether the Cosmopolitan Conflict
Resolution seriously cannot be applied universally especially in the Islamic
World and pop up with the possibility of Conflict Resolution theory from the
Islamic perspective.
