The key paradox of intensified conflicts in the developing world in the 1990s against the backdrop of deeper globalization is reviewed through the lens of civil wars in West Africa and their interconnection with the globalizing markets. Geo-economic foundations and structure of trans-border war zones with links to global markets are analyzed using this material. Overall, the essay seeks to examine the complexity and extent of the role globalization had on the fragile West African states in the post-Cold War context.

{"title":"The Geoeconomic Simulacrum of BRI and the South Asian Regional Security Complex","authors":"Ambrish Dhaka","doi":"10.1080/10402659.2023.2268040","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10402659.2023.2268040","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractThe Belt and Road Initiative rattled the South Asian security environment vigorously as it involved strong territorial sensitivities of India, which found itself engaged on two fronts with Pakistan and China. The BRI has been the geoeconomic drive projecting China’s peaceful rise. It has been welcomed with hope and suspicion as Western powers are equally interested in containing China in the Asian order. This paper examines BRI as a source of external transformation to the regional security complex model devised by Buzan. South Asia’s inadequacies in bringing internal transformation, as envisioned by Buzan, allow the BRI to be a source of cold peace in the region. The BRI looks at decentered region-building with an appeal of great power overlay. This tier is relevant in diluting the South Asia geopolitical polarities. The paper claims that BRI influences South Asian geopolitics, where India and Pakistan are no longer locked into bipolarities. The smaller states are bandwagoning with China, and that calibrates the South Asian regional security complex. The cold peace laced with geoeconomic transformation can render a regional transformation to the security complex such that the South Asian regional security complex might dissipate into two or more mini-complexes.

By undertaking three years of field research and analyzing the collected data, we have found that two aspects of the engagement are of great importance. First, the ordinary activists understand peacebuilding as an embodiment of everyday identity and language. Second, they make use of peacebuilding as a realization of ordinary people power. Both aspects reflect the people’s subjective reasoning of who they are and what they can do in their conflict-affected daily lives. The findings are expected to flesh out the ongoing conversation of people-centred or everyday peacebuilding in the Korean peninsula.

Developing a new educational model in which a new culture of caring about people, the planet, and our common and shared future can contribute to peace-building and the development of more sustainable societies. This paper offers critical insights into the interconnectivity between global crises, geoeconomic and geopolitical elements, and the need for a new educational paradigm, which has the potential to boost national systems by promoting the development of global citizens defined and identified by their high levels of resilience, empathy, and a culture of caring. We argue for the importance of relationships based on trust and the feeling of relying on, where individuals can feel safe, secure, and valued. In this regard, education represents the core element in creating more inclusive, equitable, resilient, and just societies where individuals have sufficient skills to navigate conflicts and power imbalances by manifesting an open and proactive attitude to co-create inclusive and cooperative sustainable solutions.","PeriodicalId":51831,"journal":{"name":"Peace Review-A Journal of Social Justice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135483549","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, Japan is undoubtedly the one in which the consequences are already and will be the most extensive. The previously second economic power in the world has been overtaken by China, and the rivalry with this country is not only about industrial development but also about geopolitics. Indeed, the declining population of Japan threatens the long term economic, strategic and geopolitic future of the country. We explore three scenarios for the decades to come. In the first scenario, Japan takes no measures against its demographic plunge and needs to increase its military deterrence to secure its independence. In the second scenario, a moderate openness to immigration may mitigate the geo-economic consequences of the demographic issue. In the third one, the Chinese strategic threat may endanger the independence of Japan itself.

These ambiguities were reflective of the balance of political power of the time. Once institutionalized, they contained an immanent potential to morph in to structural contradictions as the re-balancing of demographic and political power in Ireland moved from latent to manifest status. As the Agreement reaches its 25th anniversary, three outstanding structural contradictions are manifesting, prompted by Brexit and the re-introduction of the ‘Irish question’ in to Irish-British relations. The constitutional status of the North of Ireland, the raison d’etre of statelet, and the inability of the governing institutions to function representationally or effectively have co-joined with a new balance of political power favoring Irish nationalism over Ulster unionism. Consequently, whether or not we are witnessing the twilight of the Good Friday Agreement will be contingent upon the short-medium term political decisions of key political actors, most notably, Ulster unionism. Three probable future developments will be further stasis, institutional reform, or (r)evolutionary constitutional change.","PeriodicalId":51831,"journal":{"name":"Peace Review-A Journal of Social Justice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48317118","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}

Their contested histories, normalization of violence and fear over prolonged times, and entrenched social and political structures that that have sustained violence, inequity, discrimination, injustice and unequal power distribution over time can prevent peace initiatives realizing their full potential. This paper explores the strength of a pedagogical orientation to teacher preparation that is conceptually informed by culturally responsive pedagogy. The paper first provides an overview of peace education and the challenges of effective and lasting peace education in societies that are emerging out of war; it then discusses tenets of culturally responsive pedagogy that lends itself toward peace education; and the paper concludes by conceptualizing a culturally responsive approach to peace education in postwar societies.","PeriodicalId":51831,"journal":{"name":"Peace Review-A Journal of Social Justice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42628034","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}

In Northern Ireland political actors took a pragmatic Realist approach to negotiations using a range of political skills, including manipulation and deception, to bring various contrasting and often antagonistic audiences to support or acquiesce in the Good Friday Agreement. Accommodation was achieved against the determined efforts of British Conservative and Republican ‘Dissident’ Militarists, who preferred the ‘moral certainties’ of war to conciliation and the messy morality and politics of peace making. The successful Realist approach applied in Northern Ireland provides some hope for a negotiated end to the Ukraine war.","PeriodicalId":51831,"journal":{"name":"Peace Review-A Journal of Social Justice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47740999","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}
