This edited volume delves into the intricate dynamics of social reconciliation within conflict-affected societies, drawing upon insights from social psychology and the everyday peace discourse in peace and conflict studies. It revisits the often overlooked intra- and inter-group dynamics of social reconciliation, which have been largely marginalized in mainstream peacebuilding discussions. By integrating social psychological perspectives and the discourse of everyday peace, the chapters explore the lived experiences of community actors engaged in social and political reconciliation. The first part of the volume provides conceptual and theoretical examinations, exploring the advantages and challenges of state-level reconciliation and their outcomes. It also offers theoretical insights into the dialogical processes that can further develop reconciliation studies. The second part presents a series of empirical case studies from diverse regions worldwide, examining the process of social reconciliation at the community level through the lens of social psychology and discourse analysis.

This book holds significant appeal for students of peacebuilding, conflict resolution, social psychology, discourse analysis, and international relations in general. It offers valuable insights into the complexities of social reconciliation and provides a rich foundation for further research and practical applications in this field.
