New media is an umbrella term that covers media tools being used in participatory and interactive ways. These technologies, along with the growing influence of international corporations, intergovernmental organizations, and nonstate actors have created a world without boundaries and made the nation state less relevant. Despite the volume of research exploring the use of new media for destructive purposes (terrorism, crime,) on the other hand, very little has been said about the role that new social media, can play for the transformation and prevention of conflicts. The presence and influence of new media on all aspects of human life, including the political, economic and social relations between subnational, national and international, are increasingly expanding. In this regard, this study examines the role that new media can play in resolving conflicts and building peace. Accordingly, the question is that how new media can resolve conflict and peace? The research hypothesis is that new media by changing the attitudes of people and rebuild trust, empowerment of community groups and the diversification of communication channels can Strengthen Fields of democratic settlement of conflict.
