Book excerpt: This Handbook offers a comprehensive examination of the peace, security, and development nexus from a global perspective, and investigates the interfaces of these issues in a context characterised by many new challenges. By bringing together more than 40 leading experts and commentators from across the world, the Handbook maps the various research agendas related to these three themes, taking stock of existing work and debates, while outlining areas for further engagement. In doing so, the chapters may serve as a primer for new researchers while also informing the wider scholarly community about the latest research trends and innovations. The volume is split into three thematic parts: Concepts and approaches New drivers of conflict, insecurity, and developmental challenges Actors, institutions, and processes. For ease of use and organisational consistency, each chapter provides readers with an overview of each research area, a review of the state of the literature, a summary of the major debates, and promising directions for future research. This Handbook will be of much interest to students of peace and conflict studies, development studies, security studies, and International Relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Securitizing Youth offers new insights on young people’s engagement in a wide range of contexts related to the peace and security field. It presents empirical findings on the challenges and opportunities faced by young women and men in their efforts to build more peaceful, inclusive, and environmentally secure societies. The chapters included in this edited volume examine the diversity and complexity of young people’s engagement for peace and security in different countries across the globe and in different types and phases of conflict and violence, including both conflict-affected and relatively peaceful societies. Chapter contributors, young peacebuilders, and seasoned scholars and practitioners alike propose ways to support youth’s agency and facilitate their meaningful participation in decision-making. The chapters are organized around five broad thematic issues that correspond to the 5 Pillars of Action identified by UN Security Council Resolution 2250. Lessons learned are intended to inform the global youth, peace, and security agenda so that it better responds to on-the-ground realities, hence promoting more sustainable and inclusive approaches to long-lasting peace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violent conflicts today are complex and increasingly protracted, involving more nonstate groups and regional and international actors. It is estimated that by 2030—the horizon set by the international community for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals—more than half of the world’s poor will be living in countries affected by high levels of violence. Information and communication technology, population movements, and climate change are also creating shared risks that must be managed at both national and international levels. Pathways for Peace is a joint United Nations†“World Bank Group study that originates from the conviction that the international community’s attention must urgently be refocused on prevention. A scaled-up system for preventive action would save between US$5 billion and US$70 billion per year, which could be reinvested in reducing poverty and improving the well-being of populations. The study aims to improve the way in which domestic development processes interact with security, diplomacy, mediation, and other efforts to prevent conflicts from becoming violent. It stresses the importance of grievances related to exclusion—from access to power, natural resources, security and justice, for example—that are at the root of many violent conflicts today. Based on a review of cases in which prevention has been successful, the study makes recommendations for countries facing emerging risks of violent conflict as well as for the international community. Development policies and programs must be a core part of preventive efforts; when risks are high or building up, inclusive solutions through dialogue, adapted macroeconomic policies, institutional reform, and redistributive policies are required. Inclusion is key, and preventive action needs to adopt a more people-centered approach that includes mainstreaming citizen engagement. Enhancing the participation of women and youth in decision making is fundamental to sustaining peace, as well as long-term policies to address the aspirations of women and young people.

Download or read book The World s Youth written by Benson Bradford Brown and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-10-10 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life stage of adolescence now occurs in most corners of the world, but it takes different forms in different regions. Peers, with such a central role in Western adolescence, play a comparatively minor role in the lives of Arabic and South Asian adolescents. Emotional turmoil and individuation from family occur in some societies but not others. Adolescent sexual revolutions are sweeping through Japan and Latin America. In this 2002 book, scholars from eight regions of the world describe the distinct nature of adolescence in their regions. They draw on research to address standard topics regarding this age - family and peer relationships, schooling, preparation for work, physical and mental health - and show how these have a different cast across societies. As a whole, the book depicts how rapid global change is dramatically altering the experience of the adolescent transition, creating opportunities and challenges for adolescents, parents, teachers, and concerned others.
Download or read book Youth and sustainable peacebuilding written by Helen Berents and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable peace involves more than simply including youth in official peacebuilding mechanisms or recognizing their local peacebuilding work; it requires a transformation in thinking about the youth as actors in the world of security and peace. Using case studies from around the globe, the contributors to this volume analyse why states are afraid of their young people, why 'youth participation' in formal peace processes matters but is insufficient, and ways that young people are working outside of official systems to create and nurture peace on their own terms. The volume offers guidance for ways to bridge the disconnect that exists between institutional assumptions and expectations for youth as peacebuilders and the actual sustainable peace leadership of youth. Throughout, it emphasises a critical approach to peacebuilding with, for and by youth.

This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are more young people in the world today than ever before. Yet surprisingly little is known about the current state of affairs in youth development. Measuring the well-being of young people continues to be a challenge, even though its importance is widely recognised. The Commonwealth's youth flagship report, the Global Youth Development Index and Report, provides an evidence-based overview of the state of development for the nearly 1.8 billion young people between the ages of 15 and 30 in the world. The Youth Development Index (YDI) is a composite index of 18 indicators that collectively measure progress on youth development in 183 countries, including 49 of the 53 Commonwealth countries. The YDI has five domains, measuring levels of education, health and well-being, employment and opportunity, political participation and civic participation among young people.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reflects the outcomes and findings of the International Association for Political Science Students(IAPSS) - UN75 Dialogue on Youth, Peace & Development in Africa hosted on the Saturday, 12 September 2020. Participants of the dialogue attended from various regions on the continent and represented both youth academia and civil society.The African Union has committed to “Silencing the Guns” in Africa by 2020, yet today millions of people on the continent still face the scourge of conflict, displacement and violence. A large portion of those affectedare young people who die on all sides, who have their livelihoods destroyed and their futures snatched away. On 14 July 2020 the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted UNSC Resolution 2535 placing youth at the centre of peacebuilding and international security. The resolution explicitly identifies youth as a group in society that is “adversely affected by armed conflict” and highlights that “access to quality education and economic opportunities has a dramatic impact on durable peace and reconciliation.”The resolution goes further in reaffirming the responsibility of national governments and authorities in ensuring the meaningful participation of youth without discrimination of any kind in both development and peacebuilding. What has been highlighted by this dialogue and a changing discourse on African peace, is that there exists a two-way relationship between lasting peace and sustainable development on the continent. To achieve peace we need development, but to achieve development we need peace. This dilemma requires committed and sound leadership from the governments that citizens have entrusted with their prosperity and security,but it also requires the people of Africa to mobilise and exercise their agency as actors of change. The link between youth, peace and development is slowly finding its way onto the multilateral governance agenda, but lasting change will never come unless youth voice their support for tangible steps to be taken by the United Nations, the African Union and member state governments. This is most true in Africa, which will become the world's most youthful continent in the coming decades, promising either to bring about a new dawn or a generational crisis. This report is one attempt to bring youth voices to the forefront and elevate the priorities of young people in Africa.To do so this report has drawn on the responses and reflections that dialogue participants raised to key questions relating to peace and development in Africa. These have been used to show common trends anda common narrative that arose through the dialogue process. The frequency with which certain issues came up in participant responses was also used to determine which issues most young people regarded as having the greatest importance and urgency. Direct quotations from participant responses form a key part of this report, as its contents are not merely the theoretical musings of a few, but belong to each person who made their contribution to the conversation.As the international community reflects on the current state of the United Nations and the next 25 years ahead, it is pertinent, now more than ever, that the conversation on youth empowerment, inclusion and upliftment be placed centre stage. The IAPSS-UN75 Dialogue on Youth, Peace and Development in Africa Report seeks to consolidate and elevate the views of young people in Africa and make its contribution to building a better global agenda that can help deliver the future and the Africa we want.
