Abstract:
This thesis examines grassroots peace building in Kosovo during the period 2001 - 2008 and seeks to understand how international actors have best supported, or otherwise, a process of deepening peace at this level. The research centres on analysis of thirty-three in-depth interviews with the main actors from this field. Through analysing interpretations of peace and peace building in Kosovo, I identify a contradiction between on the one hand, the dominant approach of building peace through relationships (favoured by international actors); and on the other, the need for peace to address persona

This thesis considers some conflicts involving indigenous peoples that arise from the universal standardization of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) over Plant Genetic Resources (PGR).

Climate adaptive strategies seek to minimize harms of climate change. Scholarly research has yet to examine the impact of these strategies in post-conflict communities, especially with regard to whether they might contribute to fostering greater overall well-being, or positive peace.

Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) forms part of the United Nations approach to international peacebuilding.

Grounded in a theoretical framework of a gendered analysis of peacebuilding theory, the empirical research combines policy analysis and qualitative interviews in order to examine how the concept of gender is understood wit

Auden believed that art had the power to influence the affairs of the world, and felt it was the artist's obligation to work for the betterment of society. Though he ultimately rejected this conviction, Auden's influence on his English contemporaries in the 1930s was profound.

Abstract:
A presente dissertação discute o processo de surgimento e crescimento geográfico e demográfico da favela de Rio das Pedras, a partir da análise do papel desempenhado pelo Poder Público em diferentes momentos de sua história e, da problematização de uma imagem construída internamente, qual seja: uma favela positiva, onde a paz predomina de forma permanente. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas, de caráter qualitativo, com moradores que residem há mais de 25 anos em diferentes áreas internas da favela. Este trabalho possibilitou identificar a centralidade de três atores soc

Les parties aériennes et les racines sont chacune soumises à des stimuli environnementaux indépendants qui doivent être intégrés au niveau de la plante entière afin d’assurer une coordination du développement de ces différents organes, impliquant des échanges de signaux à longue distance, dits systémiques.

En dépit de sa complexité analytique, la situation sécuritaire de la Corne de l’Afrique peut être soumise aux outils de la Science politique afin de mieux comprendre les interactions entre les différents acteurs. Cette recherche s’efforce d’analyser les ressorts d’une équation sécuritaire qui peut paraître insoluble : le régionalisme est-il aujourd’hui un prérequis à l’émergence d’une paix régionale ? Pour répondre à cette question il est nécessaire de comprendre quels rôles jouent les processus sécuritaires régionaux (régionalisation et régionalisme) dans la construction des États de la Corne

Abstract:
Preventing cyberterrorism is becoming a necessity for individuals, organizations, and governments. However, current policies focus on technical and managerial aspects without asking for experts and non-experts values and preferences for preventing cyberterrorism. This study employs value focused thinking and public value forum to bare strategic measures and alternatives for complex policy decisions for preventing cyberterrorism. The strategic measures and alternatives are per socio-technical process.

In desperation, some of our children seek support within their dysfunctional families but they fail. As their cries for a way out are unheard, the soul of our nation turns to crime as an alternative. This thesis explores the physical and emotional instability of children as a result of prevailing crime. Instability that, in cases, leads chil
