Organization:Centre for Conflict Resolution
The Centre for Conflict Resolution is a social research institute of the University of Cape Town.
It was founded in 1968 by Professor H.W. van der Merwe in Cape Town, South Africa , to conduct academic research on relations between "racial" groups, with the goal of promoting mutual acceptance and co-operation.
Initially named the Abe Bailey Institute for Inter-Racial Studies after the original funding organisation, the Abe Bailey Trust, the Institute was renamed the Centre for Intergroup Studies in 1973.[1]
During the 1980s this organization was attempting to address conflict resolution resulting from the South African policy of apartheid.[2]
Since 1990 the Centre is known as the Centre for Conflict Resolution.
The Centre is currently housed in the Coornhoop, a 17th century farmhouse at 2 Dixton Road in Observatory, Cape Town.
