Abstract:
This study explores the role of conflict, suffering, and structural injustices in driving transformative processes within Albania's Roma and Egyptian communities, emphasizing how these experiences challenge consensus-driven approaches to social change. By analyzing systemic inequalities and power struggles through critical theory frameworks, the study highlights the importance of addressing conflict as a catalyst for transformation in the face of global challenges like climate change and the Capitalocene. The research draws on policy reviews and academic literature to examine the intersection of social exclusion, poverty, and environmental justice, revealing the limitations of current 'just transition' policies. The findings underscore that conflict and inequality must be acknowledged and addressed to achieve meaningful, justice-oriented transitions, particularly in marginalized communities.
