The European Peace Army. An unfinished challenge: Comunicación presentada en el Congreso de EuPRA, Septiembre 2015

By | 9 agosto, 2015

La primera semana de septiembre se celebró el IX congreso de la European Peace Research Association (EuPRA), en Tromso, Noruega. Allí presenté una comunicación sobre los proyectos europeos para la construcción de un Ejército de Paz y los desafíos a los que se enfrenta esta idea hoy en día.

Aquí tenéis su resumen:

This presentation aims to study the European civil society efforts to create civilian tools for violence prevention and peacebuilding in the international arena. These efforts were addressed to develop purely nonviolent methodologies in order to serve as alternative or complementary mechanisms to the traditional conflict resolution tools used by states and international organizations. It analyzes the origin of the idea of the peace armies and reviews the implementation of nonviolent international interventions throughout the XXth century. It also examines the failed initiative to create a European Civil Peace Corps and presents the advances made to build civil peace services in Europe.
