Peace and Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology | 2002
Evelin Gerda Lindner
This article identifies the dynamics of humiliation as a core agent in conflicts that escalate into cycles of violence, such as terrorism or genocide, where parties feel humiliated and entitled to retaliate with violence. I describe a 4-year research project on the notion of humiliation, which had its starting point in the hypothesis that the humiliation experienced by Germany after the first World War contributed to the outbreak of the second World War. Then I analyze more recent incidents of genocidal killings in Somalia, Rwanda, and Burundi, and conclude with recommendations for healing the cycles of humiliation.

Human rights are universally based on the concept of human dignity. Various international organizations are developing the theoretical, legal, and political framework for human rights. The underlying concept of human dignity is less disputed, but also receives less attention. This shortcoming is addressed by a worldwide group of scholars and practitioners dedicated to examining and understanding the many aspects of human dignity, as well as its violation – humiliation. This article describes the efforts of the Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies (HumanDHS) network. The network is a global transdisciplinary fellowship of individuals dedicated to advancing research, education, and interventions to end humiliating practices and promote human dignity around the world. The HumanDHS community strives to stimulate systemic change, globally and locally, opening space for mutual respect and esteem to take root and grow, thus ending humiliating practices and breaking cycles of humiliation. This article describes the efforts of HumanDHS to encourage practices that lead to equality in dignity through dignifying dialogue and collaborative action.

This chapter discusses how Asia can contribute to world peace psychology. It is based on the proposition that peace is best advanced by promoting unity together with equal rights and dignity for all (as stipulated by human rights). It suggests that the nondualistic principle of Unity in Diversity is a suitable guide, both as philosophical foundation and practical guideline. Asia can contribute to Unity in Diversity in three major ways, at least. First, Asian emphasis on harmonious societies entails great potential (when designed in nondualistic ways) to help forge Unity. Second, Asia can also contribute to Diversity. Asia offers a whole range of valuable peace-inducing cultural competencies. Third, Asia, since it is a cradle of nondualistic ontologies, can help the world with the metaphysical orientation that is needed to connect unity and diversity in peace-inducing ways into the principle of Unity in Diversity. All chapters of this book underpin those three perspectives and are woven into this chapter.

The United States, as in other nations, is in the midst of a social-climate crisis inflamed by a staggering economic gap between the rich and the poor, a polarized and paralyzed political system, a history of criminal injustice that has led to mass incarceration of marginalized populations, a proliferation of gun violence and rampage shootings, and much more. The contentious conditions shaping social relations in the United States are also evident in the atmosphere of heated interactions surging in the world.
American Psychologist | 2017

There has never been a more urgent time for psychologists to gain a broader and deeper understanding of the pernicious dynamics of humiliation. Congratulations to the American Psychologist for introducing an article on the topic of humiliation and asymmetric conflict. Based on more than 20 years of research, a global community of scholars has established humiliation studies as a field of academic inquiry and has built a solid foundation of expertise on the phenomenon of humiliation and its impact. Open violence is only the tip of the iceberg. This commentary offers substantial clarifications and updates in support of McCauleys article and invites psychologists to recognize their vital role in developing research and clinical practice to address the explosive consequences of humiliation around the globe.
