Solutions for this spiral of violence and su\ufb00ering cannot be found in advocating a grotesque form of isolationism, erecting fortresses for the privileged, denying the problems and preaching the good word of opening to all without managing the consequences\u2026 It is therefore essential to fnd together new approaches to con\ufb02ict prevention.<\/span><\/p>\n Tania Pa\ufb00enholz and Christoph Spurk summarise a study carried out by the World Bank on civil society, citizen commitment and peace
\n<\/span>Recently the notion of con\ufb02ict prevention has spread from diplomatic and military e\ufb00orts to also concern living together in a given society
\nand therefore requires the participation of the people primarily concerned: the population subjected to potentially violent con\ufb02icts. We are living in an era of increasing migration \ufb02ows due to armed con\ufb02icts, natural disasters related to the environment and climate change and\u00a0 structural deprivation engendered by a globalised system that favours a small number to the detriment of everyone else. <\/span><\/p>\n
\nIn this publication, we propose frst of all some articles defning the concept and opening up our vision to global considerations: Te Swedish organisation SIDA explains succinctly the fundaments\u00a0of con\ufb02ict prevention and its links with the new agendas of the international bodies. Catherine Barnes of the European centre for con\ufb02ict prevention expands on the questions around the role of civil society in prevention, stabilisation and peace building.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nwork. Te United States Institute for Peace (USIP) presents, in a brief and schematic way, a strategic framework for preventing violent con\ufb02icts.<\/span><\/p>\n
