In three keynote lectures and twelve presentations, the phenomenon of compromise will be examined from a theoretical and a historical perspective, casting compromise as an essential cultural technique for regulating tangible as well as latent and smouldering forms of conflict. A compromise is an agreement in which the participants nevertheless hold on to their original claims. Therefore, a compromise demands concessions to the other side’s point of view. Through these often-painful concessions, a compromise allows two or more parties to overcome a situation that is considered problematic. During the conference, the premises, conditions, and consequences of compromise will be explored in theory and through historical examples from Europe, Africa, and Asia.
