Outline of Final Research Achievements

Contemporary African societies face the task of how to prevent conflict and violence, and how to reconstruct the social order exhausted by conflicts. This research revealed that African people themselves have created, accumulated, and managed knowledge and social institutions (African Potentials) that have proven to be effective in resolving conflicts and achieving coexistence. This research also elucidated that African Potentials were/are constructed out of repeated collision and integration with the outside influences of the West and the Arab/Islamic world.
This approach of our research project is markedly different from trying to find solutions through simply importing and applying concepts and values of Western origin, such as even democracy and human rights. This research demonstrated that African Potentials can be applied to contemporary conflict resolution, reconciliation among peoples, and the post-conflict reconstruction of society.
