Reconciliation And Its Socio-Cultural Dimensions

Abstract

Reconciliation is a phenomenal process that in the socio-cultural context discusses the course of repairing and fostering the relations between war-torn and deeply fragmented societies. In this research, different socio-cultural dimensions have been probed to understand the inclusive dimensions of social and cultural values and how reconciliation is implicit, adopted, and experienced. In deeply fragmented societies it recognizes the past injuries and problems with the understanding of all fragments of society involved along their perspectives. This involves making a framework that leads to a reciprocal understanding of issues with the help of truth commissions, justice, forgiveness, social healing along the role of different levels of leadership to bring peace. The focus of this research is to explore and analyze the difference between reconciliation and conflict resolution along the socio-cultural dimensions of reconciliation.  An analytical and descriptive approach has been adopted to understand the different aspects of reconciliation.
