might also say that reconciliation is essentially A-oriented and that closure is B-oriented and the ultimate test that reconciliation is working. In South Africa this is, of course, the big question mark at the end of the whole process. 53. South African TV, October 31 1997. Quotation according to memory immediately afterward. 54. Quoted from Timothy Garton Ash's article on the TRC, "True Confessions", The New York Review of Books, July 17, 1997, pp. 33- 38. 55. Moreover, the judge might also consider shortening the sentence (Model I) if apology/restitution/reconciliation is working (Model II). At any rate, this is not a sentence to do "community work", but directly related to the perpetrator-victim relation. 56. I am thinking particularly of the process against the last General Secretary of the SED, Egon Krenz. 57. For a good example of a narrow approach, essentially discussing coordination issues UN-Member States and governmental organizations-NGOs, see Jonathan Moore, The UN and Complex Emergencies: Rehabilitation in Third World Transitions, Geneva: UNRISD, 1996. "Recovery" is another term frequently used by Moore, the dimensions of reconciliation and resolution are absent. Another type of narrowness is found in Gilles Carbonnier, Conflict, Postwar Rebuilding and the Economy: A Critical Review of the Literature, Geneva: UNRISD, 1998; with the unfortunate use of the term "postconflict", conflict=war, and no real effort to discuss reconciliation and resolution. One important focus (p. 63) is "(re)integration in the global world economy". How about
the possibility that this was the problem to start with? In Occasional Paper No. 1 (Carbonnier is No. 2) this is even built into the title, After the Conflict: A Review of selected Sources On Rebuilding War-torn Societies, Geneva: UNRISD, 1995. But all three are recommended as introductions to reconstruction, particularly as the focus of the present text is on reconciliation. 58. This is argued in some detail in PBPM, Part III on "Development". 59. And of course it was taken out, particularly harshly, on Norwegian women who had been with German soldiers, and their children. 60. See Johan Galtung, "Alternative Models for Global Democracy" in Barry Holden, Global Democracy: A Debate, forthcoming 1999. 61. Many of them are small (islands in Northern Europe or the Pacific), some are under protection of other countries (Iceland, Luxembourg), others have big militias (Costa Rica). But the number is increasing. 62. An alternative hypothesis was that for Stalin this was unnecessary, the capitalist system was going to collapse anyhow, hence strengthen the communist parties in that world and be prepared for their attack. But such reasonable hypotheses were discarded in the frozen thinking of the Cold War. In Norway, for instance, the day of the German invasion 1940, 9 April, took on almost mythical proportions as people were waiting for the Soviet 115 replay of that scenario. That Russia, a neighbor, had not been at war with Norway for 1,000 years and at that time we (the Vikings) had attacked Norway was even seen as a trick to lull us into
