THE BASIC ASSUMPTIONS UPON WHICH THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE TWO APPROACHES ARE BASED ARE ANALYSED, AND THE WEAKNESSES OF EACH ARE EXPLORED. FINALLY, THE ASSUMPTION OF BASIC INCOMPATIBILITY IS QUESTIONED, BECAUSE IT IS GENERALLY UNHELPFUL IN PROMOTING CONFLICT RESOLUTION; AND AN ATTEMPT IS MADE TO SHOW HOW THE TWO APPROACHES CAN BE COMBINED BY INTRODUCING THE CONCEPT OF PEACE-KEEPING (MANAGEMENT) AND PEACE-MAKING AND PEACE-BUILDING (RESOLUTION).
