This essay criticizes common theories within the three traditional perspectives, conflict management, conflict resolution and conflict transformation, for not being able to explain and/or generate solutions to the problems of fundamentalism and religious terrorism in a satisfying manner. This essay is trying to synthesize an alternative analytical framework that better can explaining these phenomena and generate potential solutions. The frameworks ontological ground is laid out using different readings of Foucault, thereby seeing the subject as formed by discourses, material processes and institutions. Fundamentalism and terrorism are seen as a violent resistance to repressed subjectivity, but the form of resistance depends on the discursive and non discursive surroundings. This gives rise to different forms of resistance; the production of discourses and founding of groups and the entry of marginalized people in these groups. But once inside these groups the discourses and practises continue to produce and reproduce extreme worldviews.The solution first focuses on local development, by increasing the real possibilities and choices using Sen´s capabilities approach combined with development economics and a production of a counter discourse. After the pros of economic development are recognized the solution can easier be combined with some form of peace building.
