PSS315: According to the authors, several of the conflict resolution mechanisms used in Indonesia remain ineffective to solve: Peacebuilding and Security Assignment, SUSS, Singapore

Question 1

According to the authors, several of the conflict resolution mechanisms used in Indonesia remain ineffective to solve land conflicts. Create a video presentation where you:

a) Assess the interrelationship factors in peacebuilding. In your view, which
aspect(s) of this conflict (context, structure, relations, actors, issues) would be
most effective to address and why?

b) Differentiate and select one of the discursive peacebuilding strategies covered in the course, and explain how you would use your chosen technique
to mitigate palm oil conflicts in Indonesia. To do this, consider the following
questions:

• What are the strengths and potential shortcomings of the selected strategy?
• Whom would you involve in the process and how?
• How would you build up the process?
• What aspects of the conflict would these strategies change? What results do
  What do you expect to see?

Question2

Examine the threats to human security in the case study. Explain the Nature-Conflict Nexus by answering the following questions:

• What kind of natural resource conflict is this, and who is impacted by it?
• Why does a lucrative business such as palm oil – a $5.7bn export industry –
  cause such intractable conflicts in Indonesia?
• What solutions could be recommended in this type of resource conflict?
