nexusstc/Challenges to Peacebuilding: Managing Spoilers During Conflict Resolution/0edd144c82a984a0013011b1d95e46f3.pdf

Challenges to peacebuilding : managing spoilers during conflict resolution Edward Newman & Oliver Richmond (eds.) United Nations University Press, United Nations University, Tokyo, 2006

Many ceasefires and peace agreements in civil conflict are initially unsuccessful. Some give way to renewed, and often escalating, violence. In other cases, peace processes have become interminably protracted: lengthy and circular negotiations in which concessions are rare. Given the huge material and human costs of a failed peace process, the international community has a strong interest in helping these processes succeed and addressing threats to their implementation. Challenges to Peacebuilding approaches this problem by focussing on 'spoilers': groups and tactics that actively seek to obstruct or undermine conflict settlement through a variety of means, including terrorism and violence. It considers why spoilers and spoiling behaviour emerge and how they can be addressed, drawing upon experience from Northern Ireland, the Basque region, Bosnia, Colombia, Israel-Palestine, Cyprus, the Caucasus and Kashmir. This volume takes a 'critical' approach to the concept of spoiling and considers a broad range of actors as potential spoilers: not only rebel groups and insurgents, but also diasporas, governments, and other entities. It also demonstrates that ill-conceived or imposed peace processes can themselves sow the seeds of spoiling

Going beyond military threats and state-centric analysis, this volume demonstrates the importance of a broad security agenda that incorporates political, economic, social, and environmental dimensions as well as the many linkages between them. It applies non-traditional security perspectives to a range of human challenges across Asia, in the hope of encouraging a security discourse where people are at the vital core. It also explores the potential conceptual and operational benefits of non-traditional security thinking in a continent confronted by both conventional and non-traditional security challenges.

The Changing Nature of Democracy Takashi Inoguchi; Edward Newman; John Keane; NetLibrary, Inc Tokyo : United Nations University Press, 1998., United Nations University, Tokyo, 1998

Democracy is recognized as the primary vehicle for the fulfilment of individual and collective aspirations, the articulation of interests, and the nurturing of civil society. Globalizing forces have underpinned the spread of this message across the globe. Yet the march of democratization is highly contested and politicized and there is little consensus on what democracy is or should be. This volume brings together preeminent scholars from around the world in a collection of essays that point to a changing and broadening agenda of democracy. Themes addressed include challenges to democracy in established democracies and in transitional societies, the media and communications, globalization, criteria of democracy, religion, culture, civil society, and the internationalization of the democratic ethos. While democracy has been given a new lease on life in the post-Cold War context and its sphere of applicability has widened beyond the state closure, this book highlights the limitations and tensions of this worldwide movement.

Asia and Africa in the Global Economy Ernest Aryeetey, Julius Court, Machiko Nissanke, Beatrice Weder, International Conference Multiwavelength Cosmology Tokyo ; United Nations University Press, c2003., 1st American ed, Tokyo ; New York, ©2003

The performances of Asian and African economies over recent decades has clearly shown that engagement with the global economy can play a key role of advancing development. Researchers and policymakers have paid particular attention to the marked divergence of growth in Southeast Asia and in sub-Saharan Africa. One of the most obvious differences in their performance and economic structure has been the extent of their participation in the global economy. While many East Asian economies have accelerated their integration into the world economy and upgraded their mode of linkages, the majority of sub-Saharan African countries have been increasingly marginalized. What is less clear, however, is the significance of different policy, institutional and structural issues - and the manner in which they have interacted - in explaining the divergent performances of Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. This book systematically deciphers the different experiences in the two regions as they have interacted with an ever-changing global economy. It provides comprehensive coverage of policies and institutions, focusing on the key sectors of primary exports, resource processing for export, manufacturing, foreign direct investment, financial flows, and official development assistance. This detailed comparative analysis comes at a time when developing countries continue to search for strategies to strengthen their participation in the global economy - and bring more widespread and sustainable benefits to their peoples.

Enhancing Global Governance: Towards a New Diplomacy? (Foundations of Peace) Andrew F. Cooper, John English, Ramesh Chandra Thakur United Nations University Press, United Nations University, Tokyo, 2002

This volume analyses the means by which global governance had been promoted by innovative diplomatic practices. The impetus for a new diplomacy has emerged not from traditional channels, but through a series of cross-cutting coalitions among like-minded states and civil society. The question of how these alternative leadership forms have been expressed through the United Nations system, together with an evaluation of the impact they have achieved, provides the fundamental theme of this text. Following an overview of the frustrations concerning the nature of leadership from the UN Security Council, experts look at the manner in which innovative diplomatic practices played out in two significant case studies: the development of the Ottawa Treaty to ban anti-personnel landmines and the campaign to establish an international court. The book then reviews the application of new diplomacy approaches particularly in the application of codes of conduct that would affect both states and global business, and then in selected areas of the expanded security agenda, including child soldiers and the exportation of diamonds from areas of conflict.

East Asian Experience in Environmental Governance: Response in a Rapidly Changing Region Zafar Adeel; NetLibrary, Inc United Nations University Press, illustrated edition, 2004

This volume provides a broad overview of the existing governance regime that deals with the environmental challenges in the East Asian region. Three sectors are given deeper analysis: pesticide management; water quality and resources management; and air pollution management. These sectors are closely linked to the economic and industrial growth of the region. The book focuses on five countries that represent a range of economies from highly industrialized to industrializing to developing. This group also provides a mix of political and historical backgrounds that are diverse enough to provide a glimpse of the "typical" East Asian governance mechanisms. The case studies and findings of this book should help in developing a fundamental understanding about environmental governance in terms of what works and what does not in East Asia.

Reforming Africa's Institutions : Ownership, Incentives, and Capabilities Carment, David, 1959-; Schnabel, Albrecht Tokyo ; New York: United Nations University Press, United Nations University, Tokyo, 2003

There is not a single African country that did not attempt public sector reforms in the 1990s. Governments no longer see themselves as sole suppliers of social services, frequently opting for partnerships with the private sector. Efficiency and choice have entered the language of the planning and implementation units of Africa's line ministries, while privatization is no longer the controversial subject it was a decade ago. There have also been moves towards more open and democratic governments. Reforming Africa's Institutions looks at the extent to which reforms undertaken in Sub-Saharan Africa in recent years have enhanced institutional capacities across the breadth of government. To what extent have reforms been internalized and defended by governments? The authors also look specifically at the impact of public sector reforms on these economies and pose the question whether'ownership can be attained when countries continue to be heavily dependent on external support. The volume is presented in three parts. The first focuses on the issue of reform ownership; on the issues of governance, the political economy of reform ownership, and the contradictions inherent in using aid as an instrument for enhancing domestic reform ownership. Part two examines the nature of incentives in the African civil service and the reforms undertaken in recent years to raise public sector efficiency in Africa. The third part discusses issues related to institutional capabilities in Africa and how they have been affected by the reforms undertaken in the 1990s, including privatization and movement towards political pluralism.

Agrodiversity : learning from farmers across the world edited by Harold Brookfield, Helen Parsons, and Muriel Brookfield Tokyo ; New York: United Nations University Press: UNEP: GEF, United Nations University, Tokyo, 2003

Through generations of innovation and experiment, smallholder farms (cultivated pieces of land smaller than 50 acres) have nurtured a rich diversity of both wild and domestic plants and animals. While most academic literature emphasizes the accelerated loss of biodiversity, this book describes how large numbers of smallholder farmers are conserving biodiversity in their farmland and surrounds. Based on the fieldwork of the United Nations University Project on People, Land Management, and Environmental Change (PLEC), the book observes how farmers use their knowledge and skills to manage diversity and to manage their resources conservatively and profitably. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> The book highlights positive examples of resource management in Brazil, China, Ghana, Guinée, Jamaica, Kenya, Mexico, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Thailand, Tanzania, Uganda, Britain, the United States, Japan, and Australia. These examples demonstrate how “agrodiversity” practices can be used to reverse loss of biodiversity, control land degradation, and improve small farmers’ livelihoods, and how they could be successfully applied to other situations. <o:p></o:p>   Author Description:<o:p></o:p> Harold Brookfield, formerly Principal Scientific Coordinator of the United Nations University Project on People, Land Management, and Environmental Change (PLEC), is now Senior Adviser.  He is Professor-emeritus in the Department of Anthropology, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, Australian National University.<o:p></o:p> Helen Parsons, formerly Research Assistant to PLEC, is now jiont editor (with Harold Brookfield) of the scientific-information listserv (PLECserv) and of the PLEC NEws and Views.  She is also a smallholder farmer.<o:p></o:p><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">Muriel Brookfield was formerly the principal editor of PLEC News and Views.  She is now engaged in ornithological and environmental research.

Beyond Violence: Conflict Resolution Process in Northern Ireland (Unu Policy Perspectives, 7) Mari Fitzduff; INCORE.; NetLibrary, Inc United Nations University Press, United Nations University, Tokyo, 2002

After almost thirty years of bloody conflict, the opposing parties in Northern Ireland eventually signed an agreement abouthow to share power, thus bringing to an end the conflict that had claimed so many lives and caused such human suffering. But what brought the conflict to an end? And what were the processes of conflict resolution that enabled Northern Ireland to move beyond violence and agree to such a settlement? Author Mari Fitzduff was involved in many of these processes and was a close observer of the others. Drawing on her extensive experience, she outlines the many strategic developments, arrived at slowly and with difficulty over the years, that enabled agreement to be reached. These include programs that successfully addressed the issue of inequalities between the Protestant and Catholic communities; work which enabled cultural and political diversity to be more positively addressed, thus significantly decreasing tension; work with the security forces to ensure that their contribution was positive and not counter-productive in the mitigation of violence; work by local communities to alleviate paramilitary violence; and the development of many hundreds of dialogue and mediation processes, at all levels of society, which were essential to the building of eventual political agreement. The author also examines the training and preparation necessary to increase people's capacity to undertake conflict resolution work, as well as addressing some of the lessons that have been learned about this kind of work, and how to successfully develop it. Beyond Violence contains valuable, practical insights for those who are struggling to manage and resolve ethnic, religious, political or cultural conflicts in many regions of the world.

Democratization in the Middle East: Experiences, Struggles, Challenges (The Changing Nature of Democracy) United Nations Tokyo : United Nations University Press, C2003., The changing nature of democracy, Tokyo, 2003

This title addresses a number of key issues determining the success or failure of sustainable democratization in the region. With the exception of Israel, the constituent states cannot yet guarantee a path toward sustainable democracy. Movement toward political, economic and cultural liberalization has thus far brought instability and violence to the region, as traditional and religious values conflict with secular ethics, norms and practices. Drawing on analyses of Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria - as well as the North African nations of Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia - this book examines patterns of democratization, and political and economic transition. The contributors conclude that in order to advance democratization processes, reforms must be gradual and organized and monitored from the top, while supplemented by a gradual process toward the establishment of a broad-based and broadly supported civil society.

After Oppression: Transnational Justice in Latin America and Eastern Europe edited by Vesselin Popovski and Mónica Serrano United Nations University Press, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo , Japan, New York State, 2012

The Decline Of Authoritarianism In Latin America And Eastern Europe Marked The End Of A Dark Chapter In The History Of These Societies. In Both Regions, Transition To Democracy Was Accompanied By Distinct Efforts To Come To Terms With The Traumatic Experiences Of The Past And To Demand Accountability From The Oppressors. The Impact Of These Efforts Rippled Far Beyond National Boundaries, Expanding The Frontiers Of International Justice And Yielding Indelible Lessons And Inspiration. As These Societies Crossed The Uncharted Waters Of Transition And Liberalization, One Difficult Question Remained: How Can The Need For Democratic Stability In The Present And Future Be Reconciled With The Imperative Of Truth And Justice For The Past? This Was An Unprecedented Test: Societies Made Their Way Forward Often Through Trial And Error, Steps Ahead Were Followed By Steps Back. After Oppression Enquires Into The Effectiveness Of Various Accountability Mechanisms And Argues That While There Are Many Different Paths To Truth And Justice, All Depend On Continued Efforts In Order To Reach Them. In Many Cases These Efforts Also Create Favourable Conditions For The Development Of A Resilient Human Rights Culture.

The performances of Asian and African economies over recent decades has clearly shown that engagement with the global economy can play a key role of advancing development. Researchers and policymakers have paid particular attention to the marked divergence of growth in Southeast Asia and in sub-Saharan Africa. One of the most obvious differences in their performance and economic structure has been the extent of their participation in the global economy. While many East Asian economies have accelerated their integration into the world economy and upgraded their mode of linkages, the majority of sub-Saharan African countries have been increasingly marginalized. What is less clear, however, is the significance of different policy, institutional and structural issues - and the manner in which they have interacted - in explaining the divergent performances of Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. This book systematically deciphers the different experiences in the two regions as they have interacted with an ever-changing global economy. It provides comprehensive coverage of policies and institutions, focusing on the key sectors of primary exports, resource processing for export, manufacturing, foreign direct investment, financial flows, and official development assistance. This detailed comparative analysis comes at a time when developing countries continue to search for strategies to strengthen their participation in the global economy - and bring more widespread and sustainable benefits to their peoples.
