Armed conflict can have detrimental and profound effects on the social capital of people and communities affected by violence. Besides the destruction of economic and physical infrastructures, intrastate conflict fractures societies, destroys social capital, and exposes vulnerable populations to mental health disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder. The restoration of social capital represents a major challenge in achieving sustainable peace in the vast majority of pluralistic societies that have suffered from past conflicts. The emphasis on the reconstruction of the physical infrastructure needed for the survival of agonized communities after a conflict can delay the restoration of social capital, which slows down the recovery process. As a result, the damaged social capital in post-conflict societies remains an obstacle in building sustainable peace. This essay highlights the influence of social media on the restoration of social and psychological capitals in post-conflict recovery.

社交媒体在建设和平和冲突后恢复中的作用

武装冲突会对受暴力影响的人和社区的社会资本产生有害而深远的影响。除了破坏经济和物质基础设施外，国家内部冲突还会破坏社会，破坏社会资本，并使弱势群体暴露于精神健康障碍，例如创伤后应激障碍。社会资本的恢复是在绝大多数饱受过去冲突之苦的多元社会中实现可持续和平的重大挑战。强调重建冲突后痛苦社区生存所需的物质基础设施可能会延迟社会资本的恢复，从而减慢恢复进程。因此，冲突后社会中受损的社会资本仍然是建设可持续和平的障碍。本文强调了社交媒体对冲突后恢复中社会和心理资本恢复的影响。
