Infos

Marcella Rowek explores the paradigm of Deep Democracy and its potential to transform polarized conflicts in the context of the refugee situation in Europe. Her approach to peace work and research is embedded in the Innsbruck School of Peace Studies' philosophy of Transrational Peaces and Lederach's Elicitive Conflict Transformation. At the heart of a deeply democratic attitude is the idea that all perspectives, experiences, feelings, body sensations and awareness levels of the conflicting parties have to be acknowledged and consciously worked with. Only then conflict transformation processes can unfold. This is linked to a systemic and transpersonal perspective, which assumes that not a single person, event or group triggers a conflict, but that it is systemically co-created. In a human system one side does not win alone.

Marcella Rowek is a peace researcher from the MA program in Peace, Development, Security and International Conflict Transformation at the University of Innsbruck. She strives for a culture of creativity and transrationality in community processes.
