Cross-sector peacebuilding capacities
16/04/2009 By Mabel González
This paper analyses Spanish capacities in peace-building and how these capacities relate –in the policies and practices of official and non official actors- with the issues of human security, gender and transitional justice. With that purpose, the historic perspective in the process of building up the current foreign policy has been examined, as well as the main actors and factors involved.
The same has been done in relation with ODA (historic perspective and current situation). Following this there is an insight at the non-Governmental world (NGOs, think tanks, research centres, the media), and their strengths and weakness regarding these issues. Finally the text closes with conclusions and recommendations towards the EU, the Spanish Government and the non-Governmental world in Spain.
