Abstract

The task of conflict analysis is to unravel the complex dynamics of interactive processes in order to understand how and why people resort to violence. Based on the field research, this article seeks to analyse the following: (a) to study the causal dynamics and structural characteristics of the manifestation of violent conflict in Kandhamal; (b) to assess the role played by governmental organisations and non-governmental organisations in the pre- and post-conflict situation; (c) to explain the post-conflict scenario in terms of its immediate and long-term impact and (d) to conclude with analysis of the policy implications and to suggest strategies for establishment of peace in the area on sustainable basis. This study represents an exploratory and descriptive research design. Sources of data included both secondary and primary in nature.
