联合国维和行动的新发展:从维持和平走向建设和平

冷战结束后,国家内部的武装冲突或无政府状态成为国际和平及安全面临的主要威胁。作为全球性国际组织,联合国在应对这些新的威胁和挑战方面负有重要责任。以联合国关于和平、发展、人权三大支柱的新表述为标志,其领导和组织的维和行动正在发展成为一种全球伙伴关系,这要求联合国各主要机构、区域组织、利益相关国以及非政府实体等建立更为紧密的联系。维和行动的执行也需要更具长期性和广泛性的战略规划。作为联合国安理会的常任理事国,中国需要对国际形势的变化作出积极应对,更为充分和广泛地参与联合国和平行动,进一步提升联合国在维护国际和平及安全方面的地位和作用。

从国家安全利益的角度看中国对联合国维和行动认知的改变

中国对联合国维和行动的认知态度大体上经历了三个阶段拒绝阶段、接触感知阶段和认同阶段,这种态度的转变是与中国国家安全利益结构的变化分不开的.中国的安全利益由重点强调以阶级斗争为纲,保护国家的政治利益转变为强调经济建设和政治安全并重,优先考虑经济建设,再到提出新安全观,强调国内利益与国际利益相结合,构筑和谐世界.外交是内政的延续,安全重点的转移推动了中国在联合国维持和平行动中的不断的角色定位.     

成就与挑战:中国和平发展、和谐世界理念与对外政策形势

中国的发展是和平发展,至今大多依靠广义的软权力并且取得伟大成就的和平发展有越来越明显的根本大战略裨益,并且在世界政治很大部分变化着的基本性质中有其坚实基础。然而,中国大体上依然缺少狭义的软权力,特别是其中关于基本发展方式和社会生活方式的软权力(或曰最大的狭义软权力)。与和平发展密切相连的和谐世界理念基于四大要素:世界政治基本性质正在经历的变迁;中国和平发展的伟大实践经验;中国的世界秩序理想;中国的大战略需要。"国际责任"正在成为中国大战略问题的首要关键词,而当前一种新的对外政策形势——重要的新麻烦迅速多样化增生和分散化表现——蕴含着中国正在面临的意味深远的新挑战。目前和今后一段历史时期里最重要的,就是要鉴于中国目前内外瓶颈问题的一大共同来源,在"科学发展观"引领下转换改革开放以来不平衡的发展模式。

以发展促和平:中国参与中东安全 事务的理念创新与路径选择

中东是全球安全问题最集中的地区之一,中东地区的冲突解决主要有三种路径——以实力促和平以民主促和平和以发展促和平。以发展促和平强调发展赤字是引发冲突的主要根源,经济社会发展有助于维护国家稳定、化解社会矛盾和推动地区冲突解决,从而在国家和地区层面上将发展带来的经济红利转化为安全红利。该理念倡导发展与和平的联动性、输血与造血的两重性、短期目标与中长期目标的渐进性。中国在中东以发展促和平的实践分为国家和地区两个维度。在国家层面,中国主张尊重中东国家的发展权,以重大基础设施建设和民生项目为抓手,通过发展援助等增强对象国治理能力;在地区层面,中国以一带一路建设为平台,促进区域设施联通,建立利益共同体,逐步实现地区和平。以发展促和平理念基于改革开放40年治国理政经验的总结,是中国参与中东安全事务的重要方略。

Colombia at War: The Search for a Peace Diplomacy

This essay analyzes Colombian foreign policy over the last three decades with specific emphasis on Bogota's peace diplomacy from 1978 up to 2000 in the context of an ongoing and degrading internal war. Initially, it assumes a modified realist perspective that links international relations with domestic structures. Then, the text defines three models of Colombian peaceful diplomacy according to the purposes, the means, and the rationales employed by the administrations that covered the above-mentioned period. After empirically evaluating the governments of Presidents Turbay, Betancur, Barco, Gaviria, and Samper and the first two years of the presidency of Pastrana, the article concludes with an assessment of the country's peace diplomacy and its impact on internal violence and instability. The foreign policies of the six different mandates show that Colombia never developed an overall, consensual state strategy towards peace, that the multiple peaceful diplomacies were partially successful in terms of sustaining the political regime and that, notwithstanding the latter, the successive governments failed to achieve a genuine resolution to domestic war. Finally, the article calls for a serious, active, and simultaneous state foreign policy and citizen's diplomacy in favor of peace.     

YES PM: Years of Experience in Strategies for Peace Making

From the signing of the Oslo Peace Accords in September 2000 to the eruption of Al Aqsa intifada in September 2000, the international community allocated an estimated $20–25 million for people-to-people (P2P) projects. Since September 2000, almost all P2P projects came to a halt. Many people have asked why this had to happen? Why did the P2P projects cease to work when they were needed the most? Why did the P2P projects fail to produce the desired goals? How could P2P projects have greater impact? Why are some activities continuing, while others have ceased? This article will attempt to deal with these questions. It is based on a research project that involved Israeli and Palestinian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and Civil Society institutions; Israeli, Palestinian, and international academics; and other expert conflict resolution and conflict prevention practitioners. A joint team of Israeli and Palestinian researchers was appointed to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the P2P process; two workshops were held to conduct subjective analyses of the P2P process from its start until today. An interactive web site was also produced, and some 40 interviews were conducted with initiators and implementers of P2P projects. We present here the findings of this study.

The Local Turn in Peace Building: a critical agenda for peace

This article unpacks the renaissance of interest in ‘the local’ in peace building. It pays increased attention to local dimensions of peace in a wider context of increased assertiveness by local actors as well as a loss of confidence by major actors behind international peace-support actors. The article sees the ‘local turn’ in peace building as part of a wider critical turn in the study of peace and conflict, and focuses on the epistemological consequences of the recourse to localism in the conceptualisation and execution of peace building. The local turn has implications for the nature and location of power in peace building. This article is largely conceptual and theoretical in nature but it is worth noting that the local turn is based on reactions to real-world events.

Peace values in language textbooks: the case of English for Ethiopia Student Textbook

Textbooks are not only meant to deliver subject knowledge; they are also a medium to convey universal and community-specific values. Aiming to explore the social and emotional development goals of English for Ethiopia Student Textbook Grade 9, this study reviews the content and activities of the textbook by searching for embedded peace values and prejudices. Textual, contextual and sociological discourse analyses were conducted to characterise, understand and explain the nature of the textbook’s discourse. A positive self-concept; good health and compassion (inner peace); tolerance, solidarity and social responsibility (social peace); and respect for life in all its forms and care for the environment (peace with nature) were found to be recurring peace values. However, some content reflected gendered stereotyping, which goes against the peace value of equality.
