Social Cubism and Conflict Resolution in a Post-Pandemic World

Abstract

This chapter explores the application of Social Cubism to analyze the impacts of major global events: the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukraine-Russia war, and the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26). By examining economic impacts, social changes, psychological effects, cultural shifts, technological advancements, and political dynamics, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of how these events shape and are shaped by complex societal factors. The theoretical framework of Social Cubism, with its multi-dimensional approach, allows for a nuanced analysis that highlights the interconnectedness of various social forces. The case studies reveal patterns of conflict and resolution, demonstrating the utility of Social Cubism in interpreting and addressing global crises. The synthesis of findings underscores the importance of integrated strategies for conflict resolution, offering valuable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars. This suggests new pathways for managing future global challenges, emphasizing the need for holistic and adaptive approaches.
