Decolonising peacebuildingA way forward out of crisis
A shifting state system, a dysfunctional market and a restless global society face rising economic inequality and mass migration, accelerating polarisation and extremism, and urgent demands for decolonisation, racial justice and an end to gender-based violence. Current economic and political models offer little reprieve, and in some cases seem to be fuelling disorder rather than promoting the order or stability they aim to achieve. How will the peacebuilding field respond or transform given these challenges?

El espacio juvenil del diálogo y la mediaciónUna exploración
Esta exploración se aleja decididamente de los discursos predominantes sobre los jóvenes, que ya están bastante bien cubiertos en la literatura: "son tanto alborotadores como pacificadores" o "son una categoría especial y potente de agentes de paz, y por lo tanto hay que capacitarlos". Esta investigación se centra más bien en las historias existentes sobre los esfuerzos de diálogo y mediación en el espacio de los jóvenes, en un intento de sacar a la luz algunas ideas que normalmente se dejan en la oscuridad, y de estimular un discurso hasta ahora ausente. Esto se considera particularmente oportuno, dado el inicio de una miríada de iniciativas desde la adopción de la Resolución 2250.

Fostering constructive relationsApproaches to trust-building in peacebuilding interventions
The international community is currently facing a dilemma: although building trust between representatives of state institutions and the population is one of the fundamental components of cooperation between donors and recipient countries of support services in the security sector, we are observing worldwide that trust in state institutions fades. Confidence-building initiatives between citizens and, for example, the police and the military obviously do not always contribute to improvement. Therefore, basic assumptions about the role of trust and how trust-building works in conflict societies must be questioned.
