Abstract

This article is concerned with the possibilities of applying the conflict transformation framework to conflict in Balochistan. It will examine salient features regarding the history and evolution of the conflict transformation framework that could be applied to understanding violent conflict in Balochistan, as well as considering the possibilities of agonistic dialogue for transformation of violent conflict. Agonistic dialogue highlights the engagement of the conflict parties towards the transformation of relationships. The key features to be included are a discussion on structural violence, and the use of dialogue – specifically agonistic dialogue, that could work towards maintaining open spaces for dialogue and, theoretically, become instrumental in creating social structures capable of transforming conflict non-violently.
