Methods Project: Transcend
It is the concept of building bridges which drives mediation. Normally we talk about compromise, but the word, has often a negative connotation, implies the idea that at best there is a loss of 50% for each party. Mediation by seeking creative solutions reveals new perspectives and new opportunities, so we can see that the situation is not necessarily a zero-sum game, where one gains what the other has lost.
Transcend is a UN program for nonviolent conflict transformation. The project was designed by Norwegian Johan Galtung, among the major precursors of Peace Research. Among his immense scientific output: ‘50 Years: 100 Peace and Conflict Perspectives’ (2008); ‘Democracy - Peace – Development’ (2008) with Paul Scott; ‘50 Years: 25 Intellectual Landscapes Explore’ (2008); ‘Globalizing God: Religion, Spirituality and Peace’ (2008) with Graeme MacQueen.
The basis of the creative management of conflict method: First, to identify participants, make a survey of their objectives, and find their contradictions, and secondly to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate targets, and finally to build through creativity bridges between the different legal positions.
