Now? In the past? The reader doesn’t really know what time frame you are talking about, the Lebanese gangs, due to them engaging in activities that disturbed other users of the Commented [JH2]: Not clear who ‘them” is. Cronulla beach, such as kicking soccer-ball into people, littering (Poynting, 2006) and confronting Anglo-Saxon Australian females regarding their clothing (Jackson, 2006). Since then other events, such as the ‘September 11’ and Bali bombings further escalated Commented [JH3]: When is “then”? the tension (Reporting Diversity, 2005). As a result, ‘The Cronulla Riots’ was the Commented [JH4]: You would need to add a brief explanation of why these events escalated the tension. culmination of prolonged ongoing tension and events and to a certain extent was fuelled by the media (Poynting, 2006). The Shay Bright Conflict Mapping Chart will be employed to analyse all aspects of ‘The Cronulla Riot’, namely in five main components: Conflict Parties, Conflict History, Conflict Context, Party Orientation and Conflict Dynamics. This analysis can potentially enable accurate diagnosis of the cause(s) of this complex conflict, which is crucial for the process of effective resolution and potentially preventing of the re-occurrence of similar conflicts. 3 Commented [JH5]: Good. CONFLICT ANALYSIS – Cronulla Riots 1. CONFLICT PARTIES A. Parties 1. Primary Parties Primary parties are characterised by their active and direct engagement in the conflict (Bright, 2015) and are directly affected by the outcome of the conflict (Burgess, 2004). The primary parties in general have incompatible goals (Bright, Commented [JH6]: Or perceived 2015) and will attempt to prevail through fighting behavior (Burgess, 2004), which Commented [JH7]: May / are likely. Primary parties might also choose negotiation or persuasion. could include force or violence. The primary parties in the ‘The Cronulla Riots’ are: The two Anglo-Saxon Australian surf lifeguards and the group of twenty ‘Lebanese’, a term for new Muslim migrants from Middle East (Lattas, 2007), youths who assaulted them on Sunday, 4 th December, 2005. Commented [JH8]: Isn’t the term Lebanese people used to describe people from Lebanon? Commented [JH9]: Not clear who “them” is. (Jackson, 2006) The 5 Lebanese males and the group of Anglo-Saxon Australians who assaulted them on first day of riot, 11th December, 2005 (Jackson, 2006). Some Anglo-Saxon Australians in Cronulla, Maroubra and Woolooware and the group of Lebanese young men who assaulted them in the Commented [JH10]: Good identification of primary parties. retaliatory attacks (Jackson, 2006). 2. Secondary Parties Secondary parties are usually indirectly involved with the conflict (Bright, 2015). However, these parties can be allies or supporters of the primary parties and are indirectly affected by the outcome of the conflict (Burgess, 2004). In some cases, the secondary parties, during the progression of the conflict, can potentially Commented [JH11]: Good, become primary parties (Wilmot & Hocker, 2011). The Lebanese community who attended the retaliatory attack gathering, but was not involved in any attacks. Those attendees who later engaged Commented [JH12]: Good point! in the actual attacks became primary parties. The Anglo-Saxon Australian community who attended riot day, but did not engage in the attacks. Those attendees who later engaged in the attacks Commented [JH13]: Good! became primary parties. Local residents/business owners (including both the Anglo-Saxon and Lebanese community), and visitors of Cronulla beach. 4 CONFLICT ANALYSIS – Cronulla Riots Some individuals working in the media sector that sided with either the Anglo-Saxon or Lebanese community. For example, Radio show host, Alan Jones, who sided with the Anglo-Saxon Australian surf lifeguards and not only spoke negatively of Lebanese people, but also likely to have encouraged violence towards Middle Eastern group (Bodey, 2007). 3. Other Interested Parties Other interested parties usually shows a strong interest and have an opinion on the resolution process (Wilmot & Hocker, 2011). These parties, during the progression of the conflict, could potentially be drawn in by the primary parties and become secondary parties (Burgess, 2004). The interested parties were the media, Australians (includes both Anglo-Saxon and Lebanese community), Commented [JH14]: Good. politicians and the rest of the world who watched Australia. 4. Intervening Parties The intervening parties are usually neutral and act as mediators or peacekeeping forces, who could potentially intervene to facilitate resolution and de-escalation. The main intervening party was the police force, religious and community leaders Commented [JH15]: Good identification of all parties. from the Lebanese community (Reporting Diversity, 2005). B. Relationship/Power/Resources The primary parties have incompatible interests or are competing for resources, therefore their relationship are of a competitive and destructive nature (Wilmot & Hocker, 2011). The primary parties in this conflict have limited power, the only potential power they possess is personal power and communication skills (Wilmot & Hocker, 2011), which could potentially have assisted in summoning the vast number of people that attended the riot day and retaliatory event. The surf lifeguards also possess social power (Consultancy, 2015), which is power to potentially influence the actions and feelings of the community, as they are volunteer lifeguards Commented [JH16]: Good. they have a higher social status. The secondary party, Alan Jones, being a popular radio program host also possess social power coupled with access to a powerful resource, radio broadcast that can reach a high number of the general public. 5 CONFLICT ANALYSIS – Cronulla Riots Other secondary parties, the Anglo-Saxon Australians who are the supporters of the surf lifeguards that attended the riot and the Lebanese individuals who attended the retaliatory event are supports of those Lebanese males that were assaulted. As the conflict escalated, some of the individuals from both these groups became primary Commented [JH17]: Good points made. parties and engaged in assaults and damaging properties. 2. CONFLICT HISTORY A. Continuum of Relationships 1. Competition Competition between some individuals from the Cronulla local residents and Lebanese youths started when the Lebanese youths went to the beach in groups, engaging in activities that disturbed other users of the Cronulla beach, such as kicking soccer-ball into people, littering (Poynting, 2006) and confronting AngloCommented [JH18]: It would be interesting to see if Lebanese youths would agree with this or if they would think that competition for them started much earlier and their behavior was just a reaction to what they perceived as competition… Saxon Australian females regarding their clothing (Jackson, 2006). 2. Tension Ongoing tension due to differences in personal identity and competing for recreational space on Cronulla beach. Little conflicts between the local residents of the Cronulla beach, lifeguards, Anglo-Saxon Australian females and the Commented [JH19]: This is not a full sentence. Lebanese youths added to the tension gradually. 3. Conflict The conflict arose when there was a dispute when the Lebanese youths started playing soccer on the beach and disturbed others, so the lifeguards on duty intervened and asked them to stop playing soccer. This caused unease tension between the two parties, which later led to the two parties engaging in verbal insults towards each other and resulted in violence, assault of the lifeguards. 4. Crisis The assault on the lifeguards by the Lebanese youths sparked anger in the AngloSaxon community and triggered the riots, which led to the assaults of a few individuals from the Lebanese community. The first day of riot accompanied by 6 Commented [JH20]: And what happened during “the riots”. Best to mention with a few words. Commented [JH21]: What is “a few” Commented [JH22]: We need to acknowledge that we make this assumption based on the information provided. We do not know if crisis stage was reached at an earlier point for the Lebanese youths. CONFLICT ANALYSIS – Cronulla Riots rumours via SMS, such as the death of a Lebanese young woman in Cronulla from an assault and that the groups in Maroubra will come to the aid of Cronulla community, fuelled the already angry Lebanese community (Jackson, 2006). As a result, the Lebanese community launched a series of retaliatory attacks. B. Past Relationship Between Parties The analysis of significant events that affected the past relationship between the parties could potentially assist in the understanding of their current relationship (Bright, 2015). Commented [JH23]: I wouldn’t have fully deleted the Sydney Gang Rapes, but would have mentioned them briefly, including a sentence or two about the media responses to them. 1. Significant Events September 11th attacks, which happened in 2001, where the Islamic terrorist group of Middle Eastern origin crashed several passenger airplanes into symbolic United States landmarks (Davidsson, 2013). Following the attacks, there were rising suspicion of Middle Eastern individuals potentially having linkage to the Islamic terrorists group or is part of the group (Houston, 2014). This mentality grew in many Australians, including those in Cronulla, as a result, they could potentially see Middle Eastern individuals as a threat to their safety. Bali bombings, which happened in the year 2002, where the Islamic terrorist of Middle Eastern origin sent suicide bombers to set off bombs in multiple areas within Bali. 202 individuals were killed (majority being Australians) and 240 individuals injured (Tucker, 2011). With the majority of the casualties being Australians, this could potentially influence Australians to think that the Islamic Middle Eastern group specifically targeted Australians. This event further increased the fear of personal safety for many Australians, including those in Commented [JH24]: Good. Cronulla. 3. CONFLICT CONTEXT A. Level of Conflict In order to gain further understanding, the complex conflict will be segmented into different levels, which include, the individual, societal, national and international levels, this can potentially assist in gaining insight into how the different levels interlink or affect each other (Kotev, 2012). 7 CONFLICT ANALYSIS – Cronulla Riots 1. Individual The conflict between the surf lifeguards and the group of Lebanese youth is interpersonal, where there could potentially be two resources that are perceived as limited, including power and self-esteem (Wilmot & Hocker, 2011). The parties’ lack of self-esteem might encourage their need to assert personal power, including force, in an attempt to change the opinion or views of the other party towards them in order to reinstate their sense of identity or self-image. 2. Societal The individuals in the trigger event, the surf lifeguards and Lebanese youths, belong to two different ethnic communities within the society, Anglo-Saxon Australians and Lebanese, respectively. The arise of these two different collective identities based on ethnicity were due to ongoing tensions and past events being portrayed or perceived as ethnicity-based, accompanied by stereotyping and polarisation of the parties involved. 3. National These communities are governed on a national level by the Australian government. After ‘The Cronulla Riot’, the government responded by implementing new policies, such as, giving police new powers to be able to seize cars and mobile phones, close license premises and prohibit alcohol in lock-down zones. A new offence was imposed, regarding violence during riots and sentencing of riots participants were increased to deter the reoccurrence of similar events ("Police get the power," 2005). 4. International Australia attracted much attention on the international level via media coverage, specifically relating to the issue of racism. The attention could potentially influence how the government addresses the conflict, such as taking an avoidance stance and denying that there might be potential racism issues. The media coverage of ‘The Cronulla Riots’ sparked international concerns and queries of whether Australia is still a tolerating, multicultural country, which is what Australia is known for (Babacan & Babacan, 2007). To a certain extent Australia’s multicultural image was damaged in the world’s eyes (The Jakarta Post, 2005). Commented [JH25]: Good points made in the paragraphs above. 8 CONFLICT ANALYSIS – Cronulla Riots B. Multiple Levels 1. Political and economic structures Racism is a very sensitive issue globally, which can potentially have severe negative effects on the nation’s public image. Within the national level, Australia is of a democratic political structure, and since the re-election of politicians is dependent on the votes of Australians, the way in which the conflict is addressed Commented [JH26]: Interesting point. may be affected. 2. Media Australia being a country that embraces freedom of speech fostered a highly influential media group. The power of the media should be consider in this conflict as it potentially can influence the progression of the conflict. The media, to increase their ratings, could potentially attempt to prolong the conflict or fuel the Commented [JH27]: Really good point. conflict to create headlines. C. Cultural Aspects 1. Attitude towards conflict/Perception of History Under one of the Islamic law, Qisas, the Muslim Lebanese community are allowed to perform revenge, therefore their attitude towards conflict is in the form of retributive justice, based on punishments that resembles an eye for an eye rather than rehabilitation (Phillip, 2015). Whereas, for the Anglo-Saxon community their society structure involves rehabilitation. However, the behaviour of individuals might differ to that of their society’s norm due to their personal experiences and past interactions with others. 9 Commented [JH28]: This is not the best source to use for such a big statement. I would have tried to find a reliable peerreviewed journal article to back this up. And I would have phrased more carefully since you are not a Lebanon expert. Commented [JH29]: Why? Where did you get this idea from? CONFLICT ANALYSIS – Cronulla Riots 4. PARTY ORIENTATION A. Determining Issues and Objectives 1. Circle of Conflict a. Value Conflict The primary opposing parties in ‘The Cronulla Riots’ belong to two different ethnic groups with vastly different values. The Lebanese community’s religious background (Islamic) provides guidelines of how females should behave, namely their clothing should be conservative. Religion is also the heart of the Lebanese community, therefore any criticism or attack towards the Islamic religion could spark emotional reactions. Whereas, the Australian community values perceives the beach as a national symbol and the surf lifeguards are highly respected, therefore any disruption or disrespectful activities on the beach or towards the surf lifeguards might spark adverse reaction from the Commented [JH30]: Good. Australian community (Poynting, 2006). b. Relationship Conflict Both the ethnic communities have strong emotions when the issue relates to their values. The conflict involves individuals of different ethnicity, the different communities were stereotyping and forming misperception of the opposing ethnic community. For example, negative behaviour or actions of individuals from each ethnic group can be used to stereotype the whole ethnic community. The repetitive negative behaviour of Lebanese youths on Cronulla beach fostered ongoing tension and relationship conflict. As for the Anglo-Saxon community, instead of leaving the conflict matters in the hands of the local authority, as retaliation or an attempt to prevent more conflicts, they resorted to intimidating and insulting the Lebanese youths (Jackson, 2006). c. Data Conflict Lack of information and misinformation could potentially have been caused by the channel and methods of how the information were circulated. For example, individuals involved with the conflict and their immediate supporters might only share information that will gain them more supporters. Whereas, the media could report in a biased manner and portray the conflict in a subjective way. Other data conflict that arose were the rumours that were spread as the conflict progressed, such as a Muslim young girl died from injuries at Cronulla and 10 Commented [JH31]: Could be explained a bit more what this means. Otherwise good. CONFLICT ANALYSIS – Cronulla Riots some groups were planning to bomb the Lakemba Mosque (Jackson, 2006). These rumours added fuel to the already angry Lebanese community and Commented [JH32]: Good. gathered even more people. d. Interest Conflict Lebanese youths and Surf Lifeguards The interest of the Lebanese youths are mainly emotional interests, they want people to respect them, accept who they are (including their origin, religion and values). Their substantive interests are to be able to use the beach for their recreational purposes, such as soccer and for locals to a certain extent to follow their values, such as how females should dress, to show that they are embracing them as part of the community and potentially an apology from the lifeguards who insulted them. The interest of the lifeguards are mainly Commented [JH33]: Start new paragraog and use subheading. substantive, that they want peace and order on the beach, for the users of the beach to respect each other’s rights of the recreational use of the beach and also an apology from the insults made by the Lebanese youths. The lifeguards’ emotional interests are they want respect, appreciation and acknowledgement, especially in their volunteer time as lifeguards on the beach. The interest conflict arise due to different views on how the beach should be used and the parties emotional interest were not met by the other and neither parties would Commented [JH34]: Good. step back or apologise, all this led to the assault. Anglo-Saxon Community and Lebanese Community The main interest of both the Anglo-Saxon and Lebanese community that attended the riot, is personal safety, when the issue relates to safety, which is a basic human need, there is limited space for negotiation (Burton, 1990). The emotional interests of both communities are similar in that they want to be respected and substantive interests is to reinstate the safety of individuals within their community and potentially to a certain extent an apology from the other community and to make promises that the violent behaviour will not happen again. The interest conflict of the two community arise from both communities feeling disrespected and since there was no intention of any Commented [JH35]: Good. apologies, they resorted to revenge by violence. 11 CONFLICT ANALYSIS – Cronulla Riots The cause of interest conflict, which is related to basic human needs, are further analysed below. 2. Basic Human Needs a. Safety/Security On the societal level, after the violent outbreaks, the interest of both ethnic community is to ensure the safety of their community, free from threats from the opposing parties. b. Identity Recognition of different identities between the communities is also essential that is individuals should not feel deprived of expressing their own identity. For example, white Australian females and their beach attire should not be restricted due to the Lebanese youths having a different view on the identity of females. c. Cultural security Another basic need is cultural security, in particular in this conflict the need for recognition of the ethic community’s traditions, religion and cultural values. For example, on riot day the comments towards the Islamic religion will send fear through the Lebanese community for their freedom in practising their religion. As for the Anglo-Saxon Australian community, the beach is seen as a national icon and the lifeguards are highly respected, therefore inappropriate behaviour (e.g. disturbing the peace) on the beach or assault of the lifeguards will be Commented [JH36]: Good points made. seen as an attack on Australian pride. 12 CONFLICT ANALYSIS – Cronulla Riots 5. CONFLICT DYNAMICS A. Behaviour Styles 1. Conflict Styles The conflict style that the primary parties employed is competing, where the parties take a rigid stance in their aspirations and will potentially attempt to persuade or force, such as intimidation, threats and violence, the other parties to give-in (Ogunyemi et al., 2011). For example, the conflict between the Lebanese youths and lifeguards started with verbal insults and later the Lebanese tried to save face and protect their self-esteem by the violent assault of the lifeguards. Commented [JH37]: This is your interpretation? The Anglo-Saxon Australian community that supported the lifeguards then gathered 5,000 people to attend the riot in order to reclaim the beach. The Lebanese community then gathered and launched a series of retaliatory attacks to revenge and to force the Anglo-Saxon Australian community to ensure they respect their community and religion in the future. B. Conflict Events 1. Precipitating Events The triggering event that caused major conflict escalation in ‘The Cronulla Riots’, is the assault of the Australian surf lifeguards. Two Lebanese youths walked into the middle of the Anglo-Saxon Community, which sparked verbal conflict and led to Anglo-Saxon Community assaulting them. Another precipitating event was two Lebanese males arrived at the train station and the Anglo-Saxon Community swamped the station, entered the carriage, which the Lebanese males took refuge in and assaulted them. In both events, the Commented [JH38]: Since these are single events, I am not sure if I would have mentioned them as precipitating events… police had to intervene to stop the violence and the conflict de-escalated. The assaults on the first day of riot against the Lebanese males caused anger in the Lebanese community, which led to a series of retaliatory attacks. Since the community in Cronulla asked the community in Maroubra for help via SMS, an Anglo-Saxon group, Maroubra was targeted as a warning for them to not get involved (Jackson, 2006). Rumours were spread via SMS, regarding the death of a Lebanese young woman escalated the conflict, fuelling the already angry Lebanese community and the 13 CONFLICT ANALYSIS – Cronulla Riots rumour regarding a planned bombing of the Lakemba Mosque caused the gathering of even more individuals from the Lebanese community. Lebanese religious and community leaders intervened and attempted to de-escalate the situation by asking people who was around the mosque to go inside and pray. Commented [JH39]: Reference? The major de-escalation event was when the local surfing community involved in Sunday’s riot apologised to the Lebanese Muslim community and the apology was accepted by the representatives from United Muslims of Australia (Reporting Commented [JH40]: Good. Diversity, 2005). 2. Issue Transformation Collective Identity – As the conflict escalated, there was an increase in both ethnic group’s cohesiveness. For example, both ethnic groups foster an increased negative perception of the other group. Some of the individuals even fabricated false rumours of events, which did not happen in an attempt to intensify the hatred towards the opposing group. Stereotype – The conflict caused stereotyping that is the generalisation or assumptions of the characteristics of a particular group, often driven by actions of individuals that belong to the same group (Spears, 1997). For example, the behaviour of the Lebanese youths on the beach caused the Anglo-Saxon Australian community to stereotype all Lebanese individuals disrespect the Australian culture, eroding the Australian pride and in general are troublemakers. Whereas, the behaviour of Anglo-Saxon Australian community on riot day caused the Lebanese individuals to stereotype all Australians as racist and disrespectful to their religion and culture. Selective Perception – Selective perception is where individuals selectively decides to only notice the negative behaviour of others (Ellis & Newton, 2005). For example, the two ethnic groups selectively choose to see the negative behaviour of the other, but neglect to see their own negative behaviour during the conflict. 3. Polarization After the trigger event, the Anglo-Saxon Australian community sided with the lifeguards and attended riot day. After the assaults that happened on the first day 14 CONFLICT ANALYSIS – Cronulla Riots of riot against a few Lebanese youths, the Lebanese community sided with them Commented [JH41]: Good points made. and launched a series of retaliatory attacks. C. Action-Reaction Processes 1. Conflict Spiral The parties involved in ‘The Cronulla Riots’ fostered escalation of the conflict by employing heavier tactics compared with those of the initial party. The initial party then take even heavier tactics, as a result forming a conflict spiral. For instance, the conflict between the Lebanese youths and lifeguards started with verbal insults and later the Lebanese tried to save face by the violent assault of the lifeguards. The Anglo-Saxon Australian community that supported the lifeguards then Commented [JH42]: Same as above. Is this your interpretation? I would leave the “whys” out if you can’t back them up with a reference. gathered 5,000 people to attend the riot to show their anger, which resulted in violent assaults. The riot led to the Lebanese community a series of retaliatory Commented [JH43]: This is a bit repetitive. attacks as revenge. Conclusion To conclude, a conflict map was used to analyse the causes and many aspects of ‘The Cronulla Riots’ which can potentially assist in understanding the conflict and prevention Commented [JH44]: This is a very short and not very meaningful conclusion. Better to summarize the main points made above. of similar events happening in the future. 15 CONFLICT ANALYSIS – Cronulla Riots REFERENCES Commented [JH45]: I would have loved to see some more academic resources relating to conflict analysis, such as the readings used in the subject.
