Integrity is crucial in order to ensure sustainable peace in Colombia. This report provides a focused analysis of Colombia's integrity system, addressing existing gaps and elaborating policy recommendations on how to build a coherent public integrity system. The review pays special attention to improving co-ordination at the national level and with the regions, cultivating a culture of integrity in the public administration, and enabling effective accountability through internal control and risk management. It emphasises the priority of mainstreaming integrity policies in the processes and sectors related to the implementation of the Peace Agreement to prevent corruption and to contribute to the inclusive and sustainable development of the country.

This book outlines the foreign and security policy of the European Union as envisaged under the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). Since establishing the CFSP in the 1990s, the European Union (EU) has showed its enthusiasm for global leadership, empowering European citizenship, and developing its international standing as an economic and political supranational organization. In particular, the book examines the EU’s peacekeeping and conflict resolution dynamics in order to analyze the political and security dimensions of the EU. It argues that, due to the loose collective foreign policy and inter-bloc dilemmas, the EU has failed to perform as an actor of substance in international politics. However, at the regional level, the EU’s peacekeeping efforts have enjoyed considerable success. The book further explains the dynamics of successful (regional) and unsuccessful (extra-regional) peacekeeping and conflict resolution efforts on the part of the EU with the help of a case study. The case study assesses two key hypotheses: that the stronger an EU member state’s collective Europeanization approach is, the higher the success of the EU is in inter-bloc disputes; and that the weaker an EU member state’s execution of the CFSP on international disputes is, the less successful the EU is in the context of international peacekeeping.

In this book a former United Nations Envoy offers an insider perspective on conflict management and peace efforts during the three most recent failed peace initiatives and three wars in Gaza. Robert Serry shares his reflections on walking the tight rope of diplomacy between Israel and Palestine and his analysis of what has gone wrong and why a “one-state reality” may be around the corner. Offering fresh thinking on how to preserve prospects for a two-state solution, this book examines the UN’s uneasy history in the Arab-Israeli conflict since partition was proposed in resolution 181 (1948) and provides a rare insight into the life of a United Nations Envoy in today’s Middle East. .

Stretching from the cold steppes of Mongolia to the tropical jungles and wetlands of Indonesia, East Asia is home to 30 % of humanity. And since it is divided between 17 countries, several with border disputes or local separatist movements, it is no surprise that the region has seen its share of conflict. Indeed, for over three decades after the end of World War II, East Asia was the bloodiest place on the planet, home to several major conflicts. But then something strange happened - the region saw a steep decline in violent conflicts and in subsequent years this relative peace has actually deepened. As such, East Asia saw a dramatic drop in its share of global battle deaths from 80 % in 1946-79 to just 6.2 % in the 1980s. Since 1990 its share has been a mere 1.7 %. In recent years, a group of scholars based at Sweden's Uppsala University and led by Stein Tonnesson have investigated this so-called East Asian Peace. Instead of explaining conflict, they have sought to explain peace. The book recounts heated discussions over how to explain a regional transition to peace. Was it due to a changing power balance ? The ASEAN Way ? China's 'peaceful development' doctrine ? Growing economic interdependence ? Or (as the author contends) a series of national priority shifts by powerful Asian leaders who prioritized economic growth and thus needed external and internal stability ? The author also discusses why Thailand, Myanmar and the Philippines have not yet achieved internal peace, and includes a thorough discussion of how to predict China's future. Can China keep peace with its neighbours as well as with the USA ?

This volume examines the complex role of international education exchange in promoting peace and intercultural understanding. The perception that international education encourages greater understanding and cooperation between, people, cultures, and nations continues to drive participation and resources to this growing sector. With thought-provoking theoretical discussions and a broad range of case studies, this volume provides a much needed critical exploration of the ways in which international education exchanges may impact individuals as well as broader issues of global peace and development.
