Objective Peace is elusive and the quest for peace is perpetual. In Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East, peace and war exist in parallel and contemporary peace support operations simultaneously involve combat operations and building peace. Hence, the goal of establishing just and durable peace is a fundamental challenge to contemporary peacemakers and academics alike. In order to shed new theoretical and conceptual light on the problematique of building just and durable peace and to offer policy-relevant advice, the team JAD-PbP has identified three critical challenges, which constitute the core of the proposal. The first challenge focuses on the quest for justice in contemporary peace processes, which has become increasingly apparent as several violent conflicts and wars are distinguished by gross human rights violation and ethnic cleansing. The second challenge concerns the quest for durable peace. Several contemporary conflicts tend to resist negotiated settlement. Yet, the ones that do reach a peace agreement still have a poor track record on implementation. The third challenge relates to the quest for effective strategies, particularly concerning the involvement of international actors in peacebuilding. JAD-PbP is convinced that the only way to address these challenges is through an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on insights in peace and conflict research, international law, political science and international relations. JAD-PbP has four core scientific objectives: (1) Enhance theoretical and methodological conceptualisation of just and durable peace (2) Analyse legal and democratic accountability of peacebuilding strategies, including mapping international law and norms on the use of force for humanitarian reasons. (3) Examine the effectiveness of general peacebuilding strategies and evaluate to what extent they enhance just and durable peace (4) Examine and compare EU:s peacebuilding strategies in Western Balkans and the Middle East Fields of science social scienceslawhuman rightshuman rights violationssocial scienceslawinternational lawsocial sciencespolitical sciences Keywords justice peace peace support operations Programme(s) FP7-SSH - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities Topic(s) SSH-2007-4.2-02 - Articulation of rule of law and protection of human rights at national, European and international levels SSH-2007-4.2-01 - Conflicts and Peace Call for proposal FP7-SSH-2007-1 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP-FP - Small or medium-scale focused research project Coordinator MAX IV Laboratory, Lund University EU contribution € 444 600,00 Address Paradisgatan 5c 22100 LUND Sweden See on map Region Södra Sverige Sydsverige Skåne län Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Christer Jönsson (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data Participants (6) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all UPPSALA UNIVERSITET Sweden EU contribution € 188 040,00 Address VON KRAEMERS ALLE 4 751 05 Uppsala See on map Region Östra Sverige Östra Mellansverige Uppsala län Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Karin Axelsson (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data UNIVERSITY OF BATH United Kingdom EU contribution € 147 505,00 Address CLAVERTON DOWN BA2 7AY Bath See on map Region South West (England) Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Bristol/Bath area Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Peter Hompstead (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data THE UNIVERSITY COURT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ST ANDREWS United Kingdom EU contribution € 173 208,00 Address NORTH STREET 66 COLLEGE GATE KY16 9AJ St Andrews See on map Region Scotland Eastern Scotland Clackmannanshire and Fife Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Lorna Sillar (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data UNIVERSITY OF EAST LONDON United Kingdom EU contribution € 164 021,00 Address UNIVERSITY WAY 4-6 DOCKLANDS CAMPUS E16 2RD London See on map Region London Inner London — East Hackney and Newham Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Sheila J Johnson (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data Regional Centre on Conflict Prevention Jordan EU contribution € 72 960,00 Address Suleiman Hadidi 52 -11185 Amman See on map Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Yasar Qatarneh (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSALEM Israel EU contribution € 159 600,00 Address EDMOND J SAFRA CAMPUS GIVAT RAM 91904 Jerusalem See on map Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Eran Vardi (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data
