In the mediation of political conflicts the notion of social power plays a mayor role. Only when we translate ‘power’ in terms of cognitive and representational operations, we will be able to apply NLP-like tools on it.
Than the question is: What visions, beliefs and social representations create social power in people’s minds? How are concepts of power transmitted from individual to individual, and by what communicative strategies can these be influenced?
The connection between politics and religion complicates the mediation of conflicts. It is my view that the social panorama model may serve as an important tool where ideologies mingle with struggle about interests.. The model focuses primarily on changing the images people have created of themselves and of others. In this workshop we assume, that it is primarily these (spatial) social images that determine interaction, also in the case of dominance and submission. Deeper insight in the universal social cognitive patterns by which power is created can be invaluable for the mediator, especially when this is combined with knowledge how the spiritual domain is involved in this.
The social panorama model offers NLP- techniques to reconstruct human relationships. We may expect such techniques to play an important role in political conflict resolution in the future.
