Abstract
From the standpoint of the left, the field of conflict resolution can no longer be summarily dismissed, nor can it be uncritically appropriated into theory and practice. It must be given its due place between the abandonment of socialist ideals and perspectives on the one hand and a stifling, dogmatic clinging to past certainties on the other. Conflict resolution has its place in the theoretical revision of socialist thought and in the debate over shifting modes of struggle as witnessed by the recourse to civic, electoral engagement in South Africa, El Salvador, and elsewhere.
