Trust and conflict
1st annual conference of the ConTrust cluster project
Trust is often understood as the opposite of conflict. The researchers of the ConTrust cluster initiative, however, assume that in modern societies, trust not only has to prove itself in conflicts and can thus be consolidated, but that under certain conditions it is only created there. At the same time, there are problematic dynamics in which trust in certain people or parties fuels or hardens conflicts. For ConTrust, this observation gives rise to the task of shedding light on the contexts of trust and conflict in order to determine the conditions for the successful resolution of social conflicts.
