Study Notes
Understanding Reconciliation: Types, Processes, and Relationships
- Reconciliation is understood as an improvement in the relationship between conflicting parties.
- The concept of reconciliation is scalar and the intensity of improvement varies in different contexts.
- The processes contributing to reconciliation are often controversial and subject to differing interpretations.
- Reconciliation and justice are sometimes seen as conflicting values, especially in the aftermath of conflict.
- Four categories of improvement in relationships are identified: changes in external behaviors, changes in belief, resolving negative emotions and attitudes, and adopting or resuming positive emotions and attitudes.
- The concept of forgiveness is not explicitly mentioned, but its substance can be broken down into the categories of relationship improvement.
- Different kinds of relationships are marked by distinct sets of interactions, attitudes, and expectations, as well as different norms.
- Critics question the use of relationship language in cases involving strangers, but proponents argue that conflict creates problematic relationships that need reshaping or repairing.
- Specifying which relationship is being reconciled is important, as individuals and groups can have multiple relationships that may require reconciliation.
- Reconciliation can occur between individuals, groups, and various combinations of groups, putting pressure on theorists to explain how groups can have beliefs and attitudes.
- There is disagreement among theorists about whether a general theory of reconciliation can cover all kinds and types of relationships.
- Some theorists offer accounts of reconciliation designed to cover a wide range of interpersonal and political relationships, including those among friends, co-workers, and fellow citizens.
