Sapiano, Jenna Marie. "Courting peace : peace constitutions and jurisprudence". Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/15640.
Texto completoResumen
The aims of this thesis are, first, to consider peace and violence in the constitution drafting and implementation processes, and to return to constitutional theory, proposing that peace constitutions are distinctive in their source; and second, to show that courts, in reviewing peace constitutions, are in fact navigating between an elite pact and a more open constitutional way of doing business, where both remain important to any emergent constitutionalism. To do so, the intention of this thesis is to assess the peace constitution in both the short and long-term, by addressing two sets of questions: (1) what is the process of constitution-making as part of the political settlement and what type of constitutional arrangement result; and (2) how have courts interpreted peace constitutions and in what way (if any) are they engaging with the peace process? This thesis approaches these questions through a critical review of the legal and political literature. The research design is principally in comparative constitutional law, which as a specialised legal field has adopted its own methodological framework. The project is adopting the functional methodological approach, as defined in the comparative law literature. The two questions under consideration in this thesis have dedicated chapters, using separate illustrative cases. There are twenty-three possible cases identified by International IDEA as classifying as ‘peace constitutions; since 1990. In the chapter on the distinctiveness of peace constitutions, I focus on three of these cases: the DRC, Nepal and Burundi. The chapter on the role of court looks at Colombia, Northern Ireland and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The reason for having, in effect, two-sets of case studies is dictated by an acknowledgement that locating generalizable cases is unlikely, as each case is context specific; nonetheless, it is possible to locate common themes and dilemmas that are present in the political settlement processes across time and place. Further, the influences, language and practices impacting these processes are always changing, so that processes that were completed before certain watershed points will present different learning outcomes.

This thesis is to design a house. The house intends to create quiet space as it relates to the body and its nervous system. This home is safe from surveillance and unwanted interference. Time of the semester dictated the focus of quietness on the eye, color and the space it sees. The watercolor sequence tries to expose the landscape quality of space as it relates to the Tao and Jen-wu. The space, structure, furniture, program and figures reflect my reading of the book of trees, book of rocks; and the book of Jen-wu and the Tao.

Texto completoResumen
In this thesis, nuclear power plants and their role in sustaining peace or threatening it are described and, to some extent, analysed. Nuclear energy contributes to the economic development of the country it is built in by providing electricity with relatively inexpensive prices than that of other kinds of energy. However, the construction costs of nuclear power plants are very expensive and it is a potential threat for human health and the environment. Different arguments on how nuclear power plants might contribute to peace or threaten it are analysed. The analysis is done through Johan Galtung’s articles “Violence, Peace, and Peace Research” and “Cultural Violence”, as well as by recalling few known nuclear accidents as example, mainly the one happened at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Cooperation of different stakeholders at national, regional, and international level is among the most important tools to minimise the possibility of nuclear threat to peace. Nuclear waste and the uncertainties in best practices for the safe management is most probably the most severe problem that future generations will have to face.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis is confronting literature on art and peace and on peace education with reflections of young performing artists. The artists have been interviewed on their experiences in theatre, music and dancing. From comparing the interview outcomes with the literature this thesis is trying to add an artist’s perspective to existing knowledge of cooperation of art and peace. The research concludes that within the examined performing artists’ reflections, there are similarities and differences to the literature detectable, which might indicate possibilities and concerns for the cooperation of art and peace and the use of performing arts in peace education. It also indicates that there is a lot more room for further research.

Elachi, Agada John. "Exploring Peace Education for Consensual Peace Building in Nigeria". ScholarWorks, 2018. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/4966.
Texto completoResumen
Violence, insurgency, and terrorism have been a recurring problem in Nigeria. Efforts to address these challenges through the use of force have proved ineffective. The purpose of this study was to explore the application of peace education in the educational curriculum with a view to promoting consensual peace building in Kafanchan Town, Jema'a Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Nigeria. Although peace education has been applied in some countries, this approach has not been applied to these challenges plaguing Nigeria. This study adopts the survey research method and utilizes the tripodal theoretical framework of ethnic conflict theory, enemy system theory, and the integrative theory of peace. Ethnic conflict theory stipulates that the internecine conflict between ethnic groups results from denial of their biological and psychological needs. Enemy system theory postulates that humans have a predisposition to discriminate. Integrative theory of peace projects peace as the interface between all aspects of human life, psychological, spiritual, ethical, or sociopolitical. A purposeful sampling technique was used to select 25 participants who were interviewed, and their responses analyzed first by synthesizing and isolating main themes and then by using the Nvivo statistical software. The emergent themes resulting from the data include: changing the mindset of individuals; lack of peace education; mainstreaming of peace education; holistic curriculum content; and a dynamic, participatory as well as integrated approach to peace education. Positive social change results from rejection and abhorrence of violence on a permanent basis and embracing a more peaceful approach to resolving contentious issues that may arise in the course of daily human interaction. This change will lead to peaceful coexistence at the individual, family, organizational, and societal level.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis deals with the Soviet Union’s Peace Campaign during the first decade of the Cold War as it sought to establish the Iron Curtain. The thesis focuses on the primary institutions engaged in the Peace Campaign: the World Peace Council and the Soviet Peace Committee. Chapter 1 outlines the domestic and international context which fostered the peace movement (provisional title) and endeavours to construct a narrative of the political and social situation which the Soviet Union found itself in after World War II (as a superpower and an empire leading the Socialist Bloc) in order to put forward the argument that the motivations for undertaking the project of the 'peace movement', above all, were of an international-political nature, rather than of an internal and domestic nature. Chapter 2 starts off with the Soviet project of establishing an international peace movement, including firstly the World Peace Congress, which simultaneously convened in Paris and Prague, and then proceeds with the institutional, political and social development of the Campaign up to the dissolution of the Cominform in 1956. The task of this chapter is not merely to chronicle the history of the Soviet Peace Campaign, but to extract from the narrative underlying themes and organise them accordingly. Finally, Chapter 3 deals with internal Soviet Peace Campaign. The task here is to construct a historical account of the Soviet anti-war movement from 1949 to 1956 through the institutional history of the Soviet Peace Committee. Furthermore, the aim is to demonstrate the relationship between the Soviet Peace Committee and party and state institutions and its dependency on and implications for political decision-making processes within the Central Committee of the Communist Party. Finally, this chapter will also examine the role of the Soviet Peace Committee and its affiliated institutions in the advancement of Cold War propaganda through the media (i.e. press, journalism, etc.), literature (i.e. novels, poems, etc.), film and political art (i.e. posters, caricature, etc.).

Texto completoResumen
This thesis examines grassroots peace building in Kosovo during the period 2001 - 2008 and seeks to understand how international actors have best supported, or otherwise, a process of deepening peace at this level. The research centres on analysis of thirty-three in-depth interviews with the main actors from this field. Through analysing interpretations of peace and peace building in Kosovo, I identify a contradiction between on the one hand, the dominant approach of building peace through relationships (favoured by international actors); and on the other, the need for peace to address personal needs. This means helping individuals come to terms with the past, and affecting a broader normalization of people’s everyday lives. I assert that a ‘deepening’ of peace in Kosovo will ultimately come about through offering young people more opportunities to ‘open up their hearts and minds’ - to broaden their horizons in ways that they feel empowered to view themselves and the world around them through a critical lens. This research identifies negative attitudes and behaviours amongst external actors in Kosovo, and illustrates how our personal qualities and conduct are of primary importance when it comes to peace building. In doing so, I identify a need for a higher level of self-awareness, commitment and empathy amongst external actors. Whilst reports have emerged which seek to evaluate the impact of peace building in Kosovo, this research examines the experiences of those engaged in such endeavours and encompasses a strong story-telling element. It also seeks to ground the issues at stake within a broader understanding of Kosovo’s social and historical landscape.

Texto completoResumen
Quality of Government (QoG) peace is a concept gaining some traction alongside more known concepts such as the democratic peace, or liberal (capitalist) peace or the globalist/modernist peace. This study aims to uncover how perceptions of governance quality uncover variation in the number of violent and nonviolent collective and interpersonal events at the sub-national level in Nepal. National survey data is used to operationalise the mechanisms for quality of governance perceptions which are then aggregated at District level. In-country elite level interviews were also completed in order to trace the process in the causal mechanism and control for reverse causality. Results point to a strong negative effect between perceptions of governance quality and the number of events occurring. There was not, however, any causal relationship established between perceptions of governance quality and the ratio of violent to non-violent events. Instead, interviewees related the resort to violence as coming about more strongly from a committed leadership of protest movements (or lack thereof) and moves by the State to instigate violence through repressive tactics against protest events.

Castañeda, Lefèvre Dorly. "Peace Laboratories in Colombia : the European approach to peace-building". Paris, Institut d'études politiques, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012IEPP0002.
Texto completoResumen
La thèse analyse comment un acteur international, l’Union Européenne (UE), soutient des initiatives de paix au milieu de la guerre en Colombie, les dilemmes auxquels il est confronté, les limites et succès de son approche à la construction de la paix. Elle pose la question: l’UE propose-t-elle une approche originale de la construction de la paix en Colombie au travers de ses programmes de coopération appelés « Laboratoires de Paix », ou bien s’agit-il d’un programme de développement classique dans un pays en conflit ? La thèse affirme que l’UE s’est montrée soucieuse et capable de développer son propre approche de la construction de la paix. Les Laboratoires de Paix reflètent un processus d’apprentissage de l’UE dans ses interactions avec l’Etat Central Colombien et les organisations de la société civile dans les zones en conflit armé (OSC). L’approche se base sur l’action des OSC et developpe des moyens de les rapprocher de l’Etat colombien. La thèse s’appuie sur une définition du « peace-building » comme l’intersection de trois dimensions - la sécurité, le développement et la démocratie - pour l’analyse du donateur et des récepteurs de l’aide. La partie I étudie l’UE comme un acteur international en construction. La partie II analyse les perspectives de paix des acteurs colombiens, tandis que la partie III étudie le processus d’apprentissage de l’UE et l’étendue des Laboratoires de paix en tant qu’approche à la construction de la paix. Cette recherche contribue à deux débats d’intérêt pour les relations internationales : 1) l’UE acteur international et, 2) le rôle des OSC et des Etats dans les programmes de construction de la paix en contexte de conflit arméThis dissertation is about the way an international actor, the EU, has supported local peace initiatives in the midst of war, the dilemmas it faces, and the achievements and limits of its approach to building peace. The central question is, is the EU proposing an original approach to peace-building in Colombia, or are the Peace Laboratories just another development program in a conflict-affected country? I argue that the EU is willing and able to propose an original approach to peace-building. The Peace Laboratories show how the EU followed a learning process leading to the definition of a peace-building program for Colombia, based on civil society organizations, and whose scope was determined by the openness to peace of the Colombian government. Thus, this study may contribute to the general reflection on the EU’s international action, as well as on the civil society organizations’ and recipient states’ roles in building peace in armed conflict situations. I propose a definition of peace-building like the intersection of three dimensions, security, development and democracy. Based on this I analyze both sides of the cooperation programs. Part I studies the EU as an international actor, part II analyses the main Colombian recipients of European official development aid (Colombian government and civil society organizations in conflict regions), and part III seizes the learning process of the EU and the scope of the Peace Laboratories as an approach to peace-building

Christophini, Myria. "Animating peace : a practice investigation engaged with peace-building in Cyprus". Thesis, Glasgow School of Art, 2013. http://radar.gsa.ac.uk/4902/.
Texto completoResumen
This research investigates the potential of animation to act as a tool for peace-building. It specifically takes the conflict between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots as case study. It is a cross-disciplinary, value-driven, practice-led inquiry, affiliated with the paradigm of constructivism and the approach of participatory action research. It triangulates the interchangeable qualitative methods of conflict case mapping and assessment, of questionnaires and of reflective animation practice to demonstrate that animation can indeed assist peace-building. The main fields of study that this inquiry deals with are peace research -located within social sciences- and the field of animation, situated within the field of the arts -as opposed to computer science-. Key authors influencing the study include Johan Galtung, Elise and Kenneth Boulding, Carol Rank, Cynthia Cohen, Susan Sontag and Yiannis Papadakis. The values that drive the research derive from the paradigm of positive peace, developed by Galtung. They can be summarised as justice, equality, prosperity, non-violence, cooperation and solidarity. Following exchanges with participants from the two conflicting communities, problems were identified and animation solutions proposed out of which three test-animations were created. These address the themes of inter-communal relationships, language and a shared future . Their impact was then discussed and evaluated by a local audience who suggested amendments. This perpetual, collaborative procedure of action is to be repeated until all needs are met and problems resolved. Primarily my original contribution to knowledge lies in researching a largely neglected area of the arts and peace and in successfully proving that animation can act for the purposes of peacebuilding. The evidence of animation's potential as a peacebuilding tool is threefold: firstly, my Action Research approach leads to the identification of specific animation strategies for any ethnic conflict case. Secondly, animation attributes are enlisted that support this function of the medium. Finally, affirmation was gathered from questionnaires.

Lauritzen, Solvor. "Building a culture of peace : peace education in Kenyan primary schools". Thesis, University of York, 2013. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/5926/.
Texto completoResumen
Although education in recent years has been recognised as holding the potential for both building peace and fuelling conflict, research in the area is scarce. This thesis therefore investigated the role education has played in peace-building following the 2007/08 post-election violence in Kenya. Kenya was chosen because a peace education programme was launched following the violence, making the country particularly progressive in that respect. In order to generate in-depth knowledge on the matter, a case-study approach using mixed-methods was adopted. In addition to four case studies, interviews were carried out with national policy makers and local school authorities to generate data on peace education policies. The qualitative data from the schools was triangulated with a teacher survey from a larger number of schools. The study found that education can indeed build peace, and that the Kenyan peace education programme can play a role in this. Drivers of conflict were also identified in the schools, pointing to a need for a holistic approach to peace education, where the whole school culture is addressed. Only one of the four case-study schools was found to have implemented peace education to the extent encouraged by the Ministry of Education. The three remaining schools were not found to have implemented peace education to the extent that policy makers had hoped. Within these three schools, a range of challenges faced by peace education initiatives were identified. In particular, the perceived relevance of peace education, location of schools, school leadership, sense of ownership of peace education, and national peace education policies were found to have a particular influence. The findings are followed by a set of recommendations for policy makers, teacher trainers and head teachers, arguing that there is a need for further grounding in national policies, more follow-up work in schools and more thorough training in peace, for peace education to reach its full potential in Kenya.

Thesis, Uppsala universitet, Institutionen för freds- och konfliktforskning, 2018. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-353816.
Texto completoResumen
This paper investigates the relationship between the level of implementation of peace agreement provisions regarding forced displacement and the durability of peace in a country. Based on the assumption that implementation creates durable solutions for refugees and internally displaced persons, I argue that the attainment of durable solutions enables displaced populations to contribute to peacebuilding in different ways, for example by encouraging economic activity or promoting transitional justice. These engagements with peacebuilding, in turn, make durable peace more likely. To test this theory, I estimate several logistic models, making use of implementation data from the Peace Accord Matrix and a replication dataset. I find tentative support for my hypothesis that higher levels of implementation of said category of provisions increase the chance of durable peace, but concede that more research must follow to verify and solidify my results.

Texto completoResumen
The Republic of Cyprus is often thought of as a tourist destination and hot spot for sun thirsty expats. Hidden from plain sight amongst holiday homes and blue waters, it may thus seem counterintuitive that Cyprus is home to a toxic ethno-nationalist political conflict that has mandated one of the longest running United Nations peace interventions to date. Still, life in Cyprus does not resemble a conflict zone. This beckon the conceptual debate of peace as more than the absence of war and raises questions of how peace is perceived by involved actors and subsequently, how it is influenced by subjective ideas. With negotiations stuck in a cycle of stalling and reassuming, the peace process is often described as the Cypriot deadlock. The cause of the deadlock is debated without consensus, but frequently boils down to disagreements over policies and issues of intercommunal mistrust. Looking to nuance these notions, this thesis aims to explain the deadlock ideationally by analysing ideas of peace as expressed by political elites and assess how they influence the peace process. The research presents a typological method for mapping ideational biases corresponding to meta-ideas of International relations theory. The central argument of this thesis is that the Cypriot peace process is deadlocked due to divergent ideational biases of political elites, rendering the rationales and strategies (the ideational underpinnings) behind the peace process ideationally unviable. This desktop study of Cyprus is based of primary data from the official websites of the Republic of Cyprus, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, and the United Nations, published between January of 2019 and April of 2021.

Texto completoResumen
Peace agreements are gendered and typically marginalise women and their concerns. The silence on gender issues in peace agreements often leads to the exclusion of women from post-conflict reconstruction and entrenches gender discrimination. A decade ago, in October 2000, the UN adopted Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security. The Resolution called for the inclusion of a gender perspective in all peace activities including in peace agreements. This thesis critically assesses the implementation of Resolution 1325 in peace agreements. It does this by analysing 112 agreements signed between October 2000 and the end of December 2008. The research employs content analysis techniques as the method to study the texts of the selected agreements and particularly to establish the nature and number of provisions on gender issues. The results of the research indicate that since the adoption of Resolution 1325, references to women in peace agreements are increasing. In particular, there has been a focus in peace agreements on addressing women‘s political participation and the issue of sexual violence. However, the results of the analysis also revealed that the objective of mainstreaming a gender perspective has not been achieved. The reality remains that most of the peace agreements studied in the period under review did not pay any attention to women and gender issues. The research also conducted in-depth interviews with an elite group of experts from the field of peacemaking, to obtain a deeper understanding of the dynamics of gender mainstreaming in peace agreements from a practitioner perspective and uncover some of the reasons behind the inadequate implementation of Resolution 1325. The interview data revealed that in many cases the failure to implement Resolution 1325 in viii peace agreements can be related to the peace mediation process including the absence of clear guidelines to mediators and the mediators‘ lack of gender awareness and gender expertise. The thesis concludes by identifying key recommendations for the successful implementation of Resolution 1325 in peace agreements.

Texto completoResumen
In the contemporary world, wars, violence and injustice never seem to end. In an attempt to replace this culture of violence with a culture of peace, peace education attempts to raise awareness of non-violent and constructive means of dealing with conflicts, and to promote necessary skills, knowledge, attitudes and values. This research aims to gain insight into the reality of the current practice of peace education in schools in relatively stable countries. While a school is one of the places where children learn values, attitudes and behaviour, schooling is often criticised for maintaining and reinforcing different forms of violence, including physical violence and inequality. This study explores theoretical and practical aspects of peace education and key issues relevant to these aspects, including its place in schooling. The empirical study investigates a peace education organisation in the UK, West Midlands Quaker Peace Education Project (WMQPEP) and one of its projects in a primary school. WMQPEP particularly focuses on interpersonal skills to build peaceful relationships and raise self-esteem. The overall research provides understanding of the principles and practice of peace education as well as its impact, and identifies some factors which can either promote or undermine effective peace education in schools.

Jiseok, Jung. "Quaker peace testimony : Ham Sokhon's ideas of peace and Korean reunification theology". Thesis, University of Sunderland, 2004. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.398547.
Texto completoResumen
This thesis explores the extent to which Ham S6khon's Quaker involvement affected his approach to Korean Reunification Theology (KRT), and the degree to which elements of KRT can be located within Quaker Peace Testimony (QPT). For this, QPT, Ham's ideas of peace, and KRT are explored in turn, and in particular Ham's ideas of peace are considered as a bridge between QPT and KRT. It is suggested that the twentieth century QPT was peace-centric, tolerant, and based in pluralism clearly different from the nineteenth century anti-war testimony. It is argued that liberal Quakerism influenced the shifts of QPT. Conscientious Objection and relief are considered as concrete expressions of the twentieth century QPT. Ham SokhOn's ideas of peace are analyzed in terms of three key ideas: pacifism, non-violence and the minjung. It is argued that Ham's Christian pacifism was awakened by the QPT and it stimulated Ham's ideas of peace. It is also suggested that Ham's Quaker experience was parallel to his pacifist practice. It is argued that Ham's ideas of reunification are based on his ideas of peace, and that they influence KRT. Five reunification theologians' theological thinking and key ideas are explored and then Ham's influence on them is considered. It is suggested that QPT and Ham's ideas of peace share common ground in their ideas of pacifism, non-violence and humanitarianism (of the minjung), and that KRT was influenced by Ham's ideas of reunification particularly in regard to his ideas of peace. Consequently, it is argued that connection between the QPT and KRT can be considered through Ham's ideas of peace. This thesis proves that there is a connection between parts of QPT, Ham's ideas of peace and KRT, provides an original contribution to knowledge, and increases the academic understanding of both Ham's life and thought, and the nature of KRT.

Texto completoResumen
The 1972 Paris Peace Talks between Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho brought the American involvement in the Vietnam War to a close by early 1973. The main sticking points theretofore were stipulations in draft cease-fire agreements allowing Northern troops to remain in the South and the National Liberation Front's participation in South Vietnam's government. President of South Vietnam Nguyen Van Thieu adamantly opposed both proposed stipulations lest his power be diluted. Thus, Kissinger had to broker a diplomatic agreement between Thieu and Le Duc Tho which was acceptable to US foreign policy viz. “peace with honor.”

Texto completoResumen
The quality of peace at the end of civil war has emerged as an important concept for understanding persistent security threats. This study seeks to bridge two well established fields by asking: Does the failure to implement a peace agreement encourage terrorism? I argue that the psychological effect of a failing peace agreement shapes the individual’s propensity to terrorism by enhancing the appeal of a frame which favors “radical” action to advance the group’s struggle for recognition. Terrorism can be simultaneously an emotionally driven response at the individual level, and a rational choice at the group level. This paper employs mixed methods. A cross-case study measures the spatial/temporal variation in peace settlement implementation and the intensity of terrorism between/within 34 post-accord settings. A within-case study leverages temporal variation to illustrate how four violent non-state actors responded to perceptions of salient loss at various points in the Mindanao peace process. While each organization used terrorism strategically, the strategies were not always linked to peace settlement implementation. This study advances understanding of the event-driven relationship between implementation failure and terrorism, the process by which “radical” frames convert an individual’s emotional reaction into political violence, and the dynamic integration of quantitative and qualitative research.

Texto completoResumen
For a long time, international security studies have centered their focus on a male perspective, avoiding taking into account the role women play in this context. it is only in recent years that the topic has begun to take on relevance. With the acquisition of full citizenship, women have slowly begun to demand rights from which they were historically excluded, finally doing justice to all the abuses they have been victims of. This is how the constitutions began to formally enshrine the rights of women, while historiography started to include the active participation of women in the events that determine the development of society.
Colombia is not exempt from this process: the immense efforts that feminist organizations have made to ensure fairer participation of women in peace negotiations have ensured that the Havana Peace Agreement is still a cutting-edge model for gender perspective, and constantly published reports on the role women have played during the nearly sixty years of armed conflict, as well as on the differentiated effects the war has had on Colombian women, are innumerable. However, while on the one hand we are witnessing the proliferation of discourses on the importance of including a gender perspective in all policies dealing with the resolution of the armed conflict, on the other hand we go against the risk of placing women victim role, minimizing their capacity for action and resistance. It is therefore important to offer representations that go beyond the binomial woman-passivity, avoiding images of -subordination that too often justify the violence exercised against the female gender.
This thesis will tackle the implementation of the peace process in Colombia, focusing in particular on how the gender perspective has been included and implemented in the final agreements. The thesis will consist of four chapters. The first chapter will deal with the inclusion of the gender perspective in public policies: it will start with a historical excursus of the implementation of a gender perspective in security-related issues, and it will then introduce the international, regional and national legal framework that is relevant for the analysis of the peace process. The second chapter will present the emergence and evolution of the conflict between the Colombian government and the FARCs, and it will analyze the role played by women in different aspects of the conflict, focusing in particular on two illegal armed groups, the FARCs and the paramilitary, presenting an analysis on how different conceptions over gender roles in these two groups led to a different structuring of the societies under their control. The third chapter will be centered on the signing of the Final Agreement signed in Havana, tackling the process that led women to be part of the negotiation team, and how the gender perspective has been included in each part of the agreements. Finally, the last chapter will offer an analysis of the implementation of the provisions of the Final Agreement, in particular the process of integrating the former female guerrillas into society. The chapter will be completed by some interviews with members of foundations that deal with women and security in Colombia.

Texto completoResumen
Workshops featuring or promising elements of Tantra have been on the rise in Europe and North America since the 1970s. This study attempts to define the elusive and eclectic term Tantra and explores the effects that Tantra workshops have on the peaceability, resilience and serenity of its attendees. Due to the accessibility of data, the Austria-based Institut Namasté was used as an example.
The survey evaluations seem to show slim, albeit consistent positive changes in the subjective perception of increased peaceability among participants of the Institut Namasté’s Tantra Workshops; statistical relevance could not be determined. The in-depth interview analysis, on the other hand, showed clear evidence of growth and improvement in the five categories Interactions and Relationships; Confidence, Insight; Inner peace, Equanimity, Joy; Body Awareness, Sexuality; Mindfulness, Spirituality.
This study demonstrates that there is a causal link between the Institut Namasté’s Tantra Workshops and the attendees’ development of resilience, frustration tolerance, nonviolent communication, self-esteem, compassion and inner peace, summarized as peaceability. The impact of this improvement benefits not only the alumni but, according to their reports, also their inner and outer circles of family, friends, colleagues and even strangers, thus contributing to peaceability on a societal level.Desde la década de los años 1970, se ha producido un aumento de talleres que incluyen elementos de Tantra en Europa y en América del Norte. El presente estudio intenta definir el término complejo y ecléctico de Tantra, y explora los efectos que tienen los talleres de Tantra sobre el pacifismo, la resiliencia y la serenidad de sus asistentes. Debido a la accesibilidad de la información, se usó como ejemplo el Institut Namasté, con sede en Austria. Los cuestionarios de evaluación parecen reflejar cambios leves, pero constantes, en la percepción subjetiva del aumento del pacifismo en los participantes de los talleres de Tantra del Institut Namasté; no se pudo determinar la relevancia estadística. Por otro lado, el análisis de las entrevistas en profundidad evidenció claras muestras de crecimiento y mejora en las cinco categorías: Interacciones y Relaciones; Confianza, Percepción; Paz interior, Serenidad, Alegría; Conciencia Corporal, Sexualidad; Concienciación, Espiritualidad. El presente estudio demuestra que hay un vínculo causal entre los talleres de Tantra del Institut Namasté y el desarrollo en los asistentes de la resiliencia, la tolerancia a la frustración, la comunicación no-violenta, la autoestima, la compasión y la paz interior, resumido en pacifisimo. El impacto de esta mejora no solo beneficia a los participantes, según sus informes, sino también a sus círculos más próximos y lejanos de familia, amigos, compañeros de trabajo e incluso a los desconocidos, y así se contribuye a alcanzar el pacifismo a nivel social.

Texto completoResumen
In the last several decades there has been immense international emphasis and promotion of gender equality and female participation in the social, economic, and political spheres of society. There has also been an increase in civil conflict recurrence in countries as well as countries transitioning to democracy. This study explores the effect of female participation on peace and democracy. In the first part, I focus on the effect female participation has on decreasing the risk of peace failing in post-civil conflict countries. In many countries, women are marginalized and conflict further marginalizes them. However, I argue that the post-conflict environment allows women to escape this cycle of marginalization and their inclusion and participation is very crucial to sustaining peace. I find that female political and social female decreases the risk of peace failing in post-civil war countries. In the second part, I focus on the effect female participation has on decreasing the risk of authoritarian reversals in countries that have transitioned to and toward democracy. Previous empirical research has focused on women’s role in transitions to democracy, factors that contribute to the survival of democracy, as well as how women’s participation affects the stability country. I argue that women’s social, economic, and political participation decreases the risk of authoritarian reversals in countries that have newly transitioned to and toward democracy. I find that female social participation sustains democracy in countries that have transitioned to democracy and that female economic participation sustains democracy in countries that have transitioned toward democracy. Overall I find support that female participation matters for both peace and democracy.

Texto completoResumen
Urban peacebuilding has proved particularly challenging in cities contested on grounds of state legitimacy where group identities are salient. Ever since the end of the Kosovo War in 1999, the city of Mitrovica has remained divided and been further polarized by outbreaks of violence, post-war politics, and strained inter-group relations. This single case study describes and conceptualizes the empirical realities of peace in the post-war city by applying the Peace Triangle as an analytical tool for understanding the quality and characteristics of the peace that prevails beyond the cessation of large-scale violence. The author builds on the conceptual model by arguing that a more multifaceted and peace-grounded analysis of peace is necessary. The research paper concludes by suggesting an altered analytical model that may yield a more nuanced understanding of peace(s) by encompassing aspects grounded in peace-conducive activities.

Texto completoResumen
Since the deregulation of the economy in the 1990S, Colombia has experienced two major peace processes: one with the F ARC guerrillas under the Pastrana presidency, and the other with the AUC pro-state paramilitary forces under the Uribe presidency. - These peace efforts have attempted to contain these groups and provide stability for Colombia's political economic system, which since opening to market capitalism has become a hub of foreign investment. Contemporary mainstream literature on Colombian peace processes tends to explain their outcome from agentic approaches that fail to account for the evolution of the global political economic system. I argue that in order to explain why Colombia's democracy has not achieved a successful settlement with insurgents and pro-state paramilitary groups, it is necessary to incorporate theories that reflect the evolution of democracy and global capitalism. Contrary to mainstream literature, I argue both processes have been negative processes for Colombia's democracy. By grounding my analysis in the theory of polyarchy, I contend that Colombian peace processes, even those termed a success, have failed as they have not dismantled the Colombian symbiotic relationship between democracy and political violence. Instead, they have legitimised the current polyarchic system, marked by inequality; repression and political violence, and underpinned by neoliberalism. I term these processes the consensual (democratic) 'legalisation' of repression. These two peace processes have not only failed to break the symbiotic relationship between democracy and political violence but they have facilitated violence and socio-political co- option against progressive social forces. This has allowed for the rearrangement of the political economic system that favours transnational capital over justice and popular democracy. This has furthered and deepened the neoliberal nature of the Colombian political economic system and does not allow for the structural causes of the conflict to be addressed, making the concept of a lasting democratic peace a mere chimera.

Texto completoResumen
Ghana is considered an oasis of peace despite having the same mix of ethno-political competitions for state power and resources; north-south horizontal inequalities; ethno-regional concentrations of Christians and Muslims; highly ethnicised elections; a natural resource dependent economy; and a politically polarized public sphere, among others, that have plunged other countries in Africa into violent and often protracted national conflicts. Use of the conflict paradigm to explain Africa's conflicts glosses over positive deviance cases such as Ghana. This study used the peace paradigm in a mixed method, grounded theory research to examine Ghana's apparent exceptionalism in staving off violent national conflicts. From the survey of 1429 respondents and 31 Key Informants, findings indicate Ghanaians are divided on whether their country is peaceful or not. They are equally divided on classifying the state of peace in Ghana as negative or positive. Instead, they have identified sets of centrifugal and centripetal forces that somehow self-neutralize to keep Ghana in a steady state of unstable peace. Among the lift forces are strongly shared cultural and Indigenous African Religious values; symbiotic interethnic economic relationships; identity dissolution and cultural miscegenation due to open interethnic systems of accommodation and incorporation; and the persistence of historical multi-lateral political, sociocultural, and economic relationships. On the drag side are the youth bulge; emergent religious intolerance; elite exit from the state in using private solutions for public problems; and highly politicized and partisan national discourses that leave the country with no national agenda. In sum, Ghana is no exception to the rule. The four interconnected meso theories that this study identifies provide pointers to what factors Ghana needs to strengthen to avert descent into violence.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis aims to investigate why inclusion of civil society actors in peace processes leads to more durable peace in some cases while not in others. It argues that the influence, rather than inclusion, of civil society organizations (CSOs) explains this variation. It is hypothesized that when CSOs have influence in peace negotiations, peace is more likely to be durable, as well as when a wide range of CSOs have influence in peace negotiations, peace is more likely to be durable. This is explored through a structured focused comparison between the peace processes leading up to peace agreements in Sierra Leone in 1996, the DRC in 2002, the Ivory Coast in 2003 and Liberia in 2003. The empirical findings lend support to the hypotheses and point in the direction of influence of CSOs in peace processes being of importance for the durability of peace. Certain evidence suggesting legitimacy being the causal mechanism is found. However, the empirical analysis also points towards other factors being potential alternative explanations such as war fatigue and sequencing of the process. The suggestive findings and the potential alternative explanations should be investigated further in order to increase the chances of durable peace.

Texto completoResumen
In light of Sweden’s increased reliance on surveillance for ensuring security within its own borders, as well as the promotion of big data use for the purposes of predictive analyses in support of peacebuilding, these developments warrant critical assessment. This thesis engages in an explanatory critique of the discursive (re-)definitions of peace in 16 officially released online documents of the Government Offices of Sweden against the backdrop of the increasing use of data technology. The study follows a qualitative design and utilises critical discourse analysis as its methodology while employing data biopolitics as a theoretical lens. The thesis argues that the understanding of and focus on peace establishes peace as a violent means of ordering society, whilst constructing and reproducing social relations marked by asymmetric power and knowledge dynamics and epistemic violence. The analysis suggests that the texts’ discursive and social practices indicate an increasingly reproduced focus on peace and security for development by means of social control enabled by various forms of data technology. Finally, the study reflects on the wider socio-cultural implications of the social relations, identities, and the social world envisioned by the texts and suggests potential paths for future research.
