Oman has played an important role in supporting mediation efforts since the conflict in Yemen began. The country’s amicable relations with Saudi Arabia, Ansar Allah, Iran, and other Yemeni and international conflict stakeholders has allowed it to facilitate negotiations in a manner few other countries are able or willing to realise. This comes in the context of Oman’s established history of attempting to bring conflicting parties from its immediate western neighbour to the table at critical junctures. These efforts were again reactivated in early 2021 with the facilitation of talks between belligerents in the current conflict and international representatives in Muscat.

Seit Anfang 2020 führt die Berghof Foundation im Rahmen des Bundesprogrammes Demokratie leben! ein mehrjähriges Modellprojekt zum Thema durch. Das Ziel: Die Entwicklung eines Toolkits gegen Verschwörungstheorien, gemeinsam mit Jugendlichen und für Jugendliche. Dazu hat im September 2020 eine interdisziplinäre digitale Fachtagung mit Expert*innen aus Wissenschaft und Praxis stattgefunden. Aus dieser Tagung ist der vorliegende Band entstanden. Die darin enthaltenen Beiträge sollen die wichtige aktuelle Diskussion über angemessene (pädagogische) Gegenmaßnahmen zur Verbreitung von Verschwörungstheorien und zur Stärkung von demokratischen und friedensorientierten Grundhaltungen bereichern.

In light of the shifting global context, the Berghof Foundation as an organisation has to adapt as well. We are therefore expanding our activities beyond our established focal areas into six additional areas of strategic importance. This involves building up new expertise, new forms of collaboration, and new ways of working. This work has already begun. How Berghof intends to go about it over the next three years is the subject of this document.

Peace processes often confront conflict issues that have deep constitutional relevance, and yet the obvious link to “constitution making” and the need for constitutional expertise are seldom acknowledged. The role of constitution making in peace processes is understudied and there is little practical guidance for individuals involved in peace processes, especially the mediators, negotiators and other actors who support them, on how to engage with constitutional elements in peace processes.
