Publisher's Synopsis
This book presents scientific research on the adaptability of science in the fields of reconciliation, conflict transformation, and peace studies. It transitions from theory to practice by discussing how science can contribute to developing "normal" and, ideally, "good" relationships among states, groups, organizations, and individuals. This involves responding to past, present, or potential future incidents of grave significance, such as wars, civil wars, genocides, atrocities, forced displacement, enslavement, dictatorship, oppression, colonialism, apartheid, and other human rights violations and injustices. The goal is to foster a scientific discourse that facilitates the development of a shared future, enabling the transformation of conflict toward a path of reconciliation, conflict transformation and peace. conflict transformation The book outlines a sequential series related to the Academic Alliance for Reconciliation, Conflict Transformation, and Peace Studies - AARMENA.

This book is designed to assist students and researchers in the fields of social and behavioral sciences who already possess some knowledge of research design methods and have a basic understanding of information technology in communication science. The study aims to help researchers implement a mixed-method experimental-intervention research design and utilize qualitative and quantitative approaches within an online social network, following the netnographic methodology. This book is designed to assist students and researchers in the fields of social and behavioral sciences who have some knowledge of research design methods and a basic understanding of information technology in communication science. The study aims to help researchers implement a mixed-method experimental-intervention research design and utilize both qualitative and quantitative approaches within an online social network, following the netnographic methodology. This resource is intended for scholars and researchers interested in the theoretical framework that bridges theory and practice for the development of science, transcending conflicts towards the path of peace. Additionally, it is geared towards those who wish to develop an understanding of social structures by designing and applying case studies and practices that provide insights into the evolving phenomena in peace science. The Academic Alliance for Reconciliation in the Middle East and North Africa (AARMENA), after successfully publishing series of AARMENA's books volume, Reconciliation and Refugees, Reconciliation Heritage and Social Inclusion, and Reconciliation conflict transformation and peace tudies respectively. AARMENA, with its members, seeks to collaborate with centers around the Globe from different continents on different prespective of research on reconciliation and peace studies. Putting together research on reconciliation, conflict transformation, and peace studies will uphold different disciplines in integrating them into the research of reconciliation, conflict transformation, and peace studies. Therefore, the book is a collaboration of Professors, scholars, and practitioners in eh field of reconciliation, conflict transformation, and peace studies, representing centers from all over the Globe, such as Martin Leiner, Iyad Aldajani, Milan Krajnc, , Lidia Bocanegra Barbecho, Marc Gopin, Dieog Checa Hidalgo, Mohmmad Alshraideh, Andreas Oberprantacher, Ayat Jebril Nashwan.
