He revived the theory of democratic peace long before it was rediscovered in the United States. I introduce three of his major works on the theory of peace and on peace strategies. Czempiel’s concerns are prudent policies for an enduring peace in international society in general and the chances of a peaceful Euro-Atlantic order after the end of the East-West conflict in particular. His complex program for dealing with six causes of violence is considered one of the major international designs, although his interpretations of important contemporary developments have remained controversial to some extent. In addition, new dangers to “decreasing violence and increasing distributive justice” (Czempiel’s definition of peace) have arisen which had not been obvious in his days of scholarship.","PeriodicalId":135312,"journal":{"name":"Die Friedens-Warte","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121181024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, for access to aid, refugees are often settled in camps, which are criticized for strict hierarchies, limited livelihoods and prevalent violence. This article asks whether some refugees choose to live in urban areas to get away from camps. Based on empirical research in Uganda, the article centers on refugees’ narratives to shed light on their experiences in camps and their reasons for living in Uganda’s capital Kampala despite difficulties. Although many refugees’ decisions for the city are strongly influenced by seeking to avoid camps, a clear separation of camps and cities as sole sites of residence cannot be drawn. Refugees rather cope with issues strategically, for which questions of time and space are key. Their mobilities help the people as they strive to deal with the past, improve current livelihoods and find peaceful settings.","PeriodicalId":135312,"journal":{"name":"Die Friedens-Warte","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127589881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The state-centric discourse in the International Relations discipline often ignores that humanitarian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are also expected to contribute to the implementation of R2P. However, R2P also suggests that humanitarian NGOs could play an important role in the prevention of and reaction to such crimes against humanity, and thus places them in a context of military-led “humanitarian interventions”. This changes the conditions under which humanitarian NGOs provide humanitarian aid: it threatens their neutrality and risks that other actors perceive them as being instrumentalized. NGOs react by discussing what R2P means; in general, for the practice of humanitarian aid, and for the NGOs’ role of protecting people against severe crimes in situations of armed conflict and violence. This article identifies different positions of and within humanitarian NGOs on these issues. The analysis also shows that R2P urges humanitarian NGOs to reflect more on their political role and on their potential to protect civilians and promote peace.","PeriodicalId":135312,"journal":{"name":"Die Friedens-Warte","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122869433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His broad concepts of violence and peace brought an academic breakthrough against the discipline of international relations. Accordingly, violence is the cause of a recently avoidable difference between actuality and potentiality. In his early writings, Galtung distinguished personal and structural violence, with the former corresponding to negative and the latter to positive peace. He later added a third cultural dimension. This led to a re-adjustment of the complete conceptual apparatus of what becomes manifest in a triangle and a stratum model. Points of criticism are related to theory building, concept construction and presumed political consequences. In some respects, however, these miss Galtung’s point, while in other respects they can be absorbed into the work itself. However, the oeuvre should not be misunderstood as ultimate truth. Nevertheless, it still provides an indispensable foil for all those who deal, academically or practically, with matters of peace.","PeriodicalId":135312,"journal":{"name":"Die Friedens-Warte","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126629076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
