2 Gardner-Feldman (1999) distinguishes philo­sophical-emotional and practical-material compo­nents of reconciliation. In the same line, Long and Brecke (2003) analyze two main models of reconciliation: a signalling model and a forgive­ness model. Hermann (2004) discerns cognitive, emotional-spiritual and procedural aspects of recon­ciliation. Nadler (2002) puts an emphasis on socio- emotional and instrumental reconciliation. Schaap (2005) emphasizes restorative and political reconcil­iation approaches. Galtung (2001) refers to no less than twelve different conceptions of reconciliation.
