Relating Human Development with Conflict and Peace Kindle Edition

by Kelly NGYAH (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
See all formats and editions
Several parameters have been employed to assess conflict driving elements within the society, however because the rate of civil strives continue to rise across the globe there is more and more need to build and examine more options towards this battle. One of the most sensitive areas to actually scrutinize is that of the human development approaches because it takes mostly the contented and enlightened citizenry to cultivate and maintain a true culture of peace within the society.
Through consistent reflections on the global human development report which the major purpose may only well suit policy adjustments measures, Dr. Kelly NGYAH CEO of Modern Advocacy Humanitarian Social and Rehabilitation Association (MAHSRA) highlights the importance and probable usages of other human development measurement units such as the Human Development Index (HDI), the Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI), the Gender Inequality Index GII and the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) towards handling conflict analysis, prevention, mitigation and probable resolution motives as the foundational prerequisites in the society that come before other sustainable and positive human development endeavours

What's up?
If we consider that human development aspects canbe influential in conflict provocation and mitigation causes, it will be obvious to affirm that countries or societies with higher humandevelopment measures should be more stable and peaceful. However, theconundrum is faced with example country situations such as Libya andTunisia having considerably high HDI, but that still fell into majorrevolutionary wars. The question asked in this stance is:
  • How reliable are these HDI statistics if they are not concretely complemented by some reliable situational adjustment effects?
  • Are there other probable reasons to make believe that human development foster conflicts?
What's Down?
It is understood that the major focus of the HDR is for guidinggovernments at better policy orientations for the appropriate humanrelativity growth within the entire national economy setup, but if itcan also serve as a dynamic tool to get into the root causes of someuntraceable conflicts, then it may become a greater endeavor for humansecurity and an advocate for real sustainable development achievements. The Human Development Report (HDR), through its latest Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) mechanisms have the probability of uprooting thecommunity level grievances on the basic understanding that the causallinks to parental failures in child up-bring and home upkeep lead toyouthful delinquency and increased criminality within community.
  1. If we consider that the MPI mechanisms can help adjust child up-bringingtowards mitigating youthful delinquency, in the event of severe civilcrises in which the economy seems not moving well, what should be thepolitical leadership practices to mitigate the conflict and maintainpeace?
  2. Is it also probable to assume that a majority of civilstrife causes, though often camouflaged under the umbrella themes ofdemocracy movements, are often a manifestation of the peoples' lack ofbasic household and livelihood necessities or the unequal distributionof economic opportunities over the same aims?
The phenomenon of conflicts and peace has to do with human discerning and positiveunderstanding of the values of peace and solidarity, which without themthere can be no real sustainable societal development, thus, if the HDRs were to be, to a considerable extent, tilted towards an analyticalapproach for uprooting the probable causes to major societal conflicts,then, they may become the most appropriate conflict prevention,management and resolution measures.

From the Author

Human Development is a complex composite term in respect to itscomprehensive usage for societal development purposes. Its applicativeconsiderations may vary from society to society and may be prejudicialon some unidirectional statistic judgments like that of the evolvingefforts of the UNDP's Human Development Reports. However, the baselinefocuses have been on some critical aspects that are globally accepted as unifying objectives for human well being. This still is no guaranteethat a globalist approach would be an accurate individualist andculturally inclusive measure. The true human development perspectivedeserves to be understood from the human rights fulfillment dimensionthat is considerate of all human beings and not just the mere aggregated analysis of unclear group data. However, if the purpose for the HDR ismainly for policy adjustment prospects, then, its mission is on the road to success.   

To study human development in a more deservingmanner as in the realization of the wellbeing of the person in aconflict free and peace orientated society entails previewing theintellectual aptitude growth of the human being such that he/she isenlightened enough to regulate and avoid differences in amicable andpeaceful manners. As such, I have highlighted the importance andprobable usages of the HDI, the IHDI, the GII and the MPI towardsconflict analysis, prevention, mitigation and probable resolutionmotives which should be the foundational prerequisites in the society in front of other sustainable and positive human development endeavours.
