Abstract

In the present chapter, we focus on a socio-psychological mechanism, namely, self-censorship, that is a result of macro societal processes that create political climates. We argue that this mechanism helps to maintain the dominant collective conflict-supporting narratives in societies involved in an intractable conflict by blocking free flow of information and thus preventing the formation of alternative narratives.
