Considering the fact that it is extremely difficult to separate the concepts of gender, guilt, power and dignity in any given conflict, as they intertwine any inter-state, as well as intrastate outbreaks of violence, in this paper I will analyze the way how these four concepts permeate two, in my opinion, very similar conflicts – the conflict in South Africa and the conflict in Argentina, as well as the way how the four concepts intermix with each other and influence each other. In South…
