This special issue addresses dialogue as a means of conflict resolution under the title of ‘Critical Dialogues: Dialogue and Conflict Resolution.’ As a tool of conflict resolution, dialogue can take on many different shapes and can be moulded to respond to each conflict. In some cases, it becomes a tent that gives shelter to both sides, creating an environment of peace and security; in some other cases, it becomes a ship that saves the parties from the results of the conflict. In all these shapes and forms, dialogue constructs an aura facilitating parties to settle their incompatible differences. In this issue we have 15 papers critically addressing the role of dialogue/s in resolution of different types/forms of conflicts, from military to inner (psychological and psychosocial) conflicts of individuals. This special issue highlights four themes related to the concept of dialogue. These are: 1. Intercultural Dialogue and Conflict 2. Dialogue, Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding 3. Dialogue, Conflict and Education 4. Dialogue and Conflict in a Changing World. In Part I we have four papers addressing the theme of Intercultural Dialogue and Conflict. Mike Hardy and Serena Hussain’s paper focuses on Intercultural Dialogue (ICD) in relation to practitioners’ understanding of the concept. The paper, based on structured interviews conducted with 52 delegates at the World Forum on Intercultural Dialogue held in Baku in 2015, critically examines the main concern of the critics whether ‘ICD contributes towards unequal platforms for exchange between minorities and the majority group and can reinforce exclusion.’ Michael Ogunnisi’s paper is an attempt to find a solution to violence in dialogic encounters of young people.
