Religion is an important social phenomenon in terms of its interaction with both social change and social conflict and cohesion. In this context, in the historical and present process, it is seen that religion is in constant interaction with both conflict phenomenon and conflict resolution phenomenon. In today's world where there are different social conflicts, religion is at the center of some conflict examples and conflict resolution efforts. In addition, some important intractable conflicts, which started in the 20th century, adversely affect multiple societies and the social environment, are still ongoing. Efforts to resolve different types of conflicts between individuals, groups and communities where multiple factors are effective result in different ways. However, if the conflict process can be kept under control with proper conflict management, it is possible to conclude many conflicts positively by understanding the parties and the conflict itself and by applying the necessary and appropriate methods in the resolution process. In this respect, the subject of this article, which contains certain examples of conflict and conflict resolution, is aimed at determining the characteristics of conflict resolution and evaluating the conflict resolution area with the effect of an important factor such as the phenomenon of religion. The purpose of this paper is to interactionally understand the approaches of religions to conflict resolution and the position of Islamic religion within the framework of conflict resolution based on recent and current examples.

Çatışma Çözümü ve Dinler

Öz

Din, hem toplumsal değişim hem de toplumsal çatışma ve uyum ile etki-leşimi açısından önemli bir toplumsal olgudur. Bu bağlamda tarihi süreçte din olgusunun çatışma olgusuyla da çatışma çözümü olgusuyla da sürekli etkileşim halinde olduğu görülmektedir. Birbirinden farklı niteliklerdeki toplumsal çatışmaların var olduğu günümüzde de bazı çatışma örneklerinde ve çatışma çözüm çabalarında din merkezi konumda yer almaktadır. Ayrıca 20. yüzyılda başlayan birden fazla toplumu ve toplumsal çevreyi olumsuz yönde etkileyen bazı önemli dirençli çatışmalar hala varlığını sürdürmektedir. Birden fazla faktörün etkili olduğu bireyler, gruplar veya topluluklar arasındaki farklı özellikteki çatışmaları çözümleme çabaları farklı şekillerde sonuçlanmaktadır. Ancak doğru çatışma yönetimiyle çatışma süreci kontrol altında tutulabilirse, tarafları ve çatışmanın kendisini anlama yoluyla, çözüm sürecinde gerekli ve uygun yöntemlerin uygulanmasıyla birçok çatışmanın olumlu biçimde sonuç-landırılması mümkün gözükmektedir. Bu açıdan belirli çatışma ve çatışma çözüm örneklerinin yer aldığı bu makalenin konusu, çatışma çözümünün karakteristiğini belirlemeye ve din olgusu gibi önemli bir etkenin tesiriyle çatışma çözüm alanını değerlendirmeye yöneliktir. Bu makalenin amacı, son dönem ve güncel örneklerden hareketle çatışma çözümüne dinlerin yaklaşımlarını ve bu kapsamda İslam dininin çatışma çözümü çerçevesindeki pozisyonunu etkileşimsel olarak anlamaya çalışmaktır.
