Violence, Security, Peace Network

暴力安全和平网络是一个跨学科、跨部门的倡议，有来自世界4个区域13个国家21个机构和组织的代表参加。它汇集了学者和从业人员，以解决社会中的信任问题，试图找到摆脱战争和其他形式的有组织暴力和不安全的方法。以下问题指导着网络的活动：这些地理上分散的团体在建设和平方面可以相互传授什么？而且，比较背景之间的差异告诉我们战后建立信任的可能性和限制是什么？网络成员接受了世界领先学术机构的理论和应用方法培训;他们还在机构加强、衡量和问责的实际应用方面提供了丰富的经验。VSP网络的合作成果支持联合国可持续发展目标16的各项目标，为减少一切形式的暴力、在武装冲突中招募和使用儿童以及加强法治发挥显著作用。PI和CO-I借鉴领导力和协作团队建设方面的应用经验和专业培训，指导该倡议的设计。PI自己的研究重点是战争因素后人际信任的建立，并指导理论框架-即，认为这是建立可持续和平的基本因素。和平支助方案网络内的协作将处理信任与建设和平之间关系所固有的两种紧张关系。首先，在战争和类似战争的暴力背景下经历的背叛侵蚀了社会各阶层的信任。第二，如果不解决信任问题，武装冲突将不可避免地持续和重新出现。战争和暴力助长不信任，而不信任又助长战争和暴力。该网络将动员其成员的丰富专业知识，并促成合作，使这一领域的从业人员和方案设计人员参与并产生影响。它采用一种参与性决策框架，通过行动示范它打算在其成员的东道国促进的各种做法。这种包容性方法的一个试金石是，将前非国家武装行为体和退伍军人包括在内，他们已经从冲突中过渡过来，现在通过致力于支持这些社会变革的组织指导其他人。我们研究了在“重新”类别下的建设和平背景下的经验：重返社会、重新安置、返回、恢复与和解。除了最初的VSP网络成员外，PI和CO-I将利用丰富的可用机构资源。该网络将与伦敦经济学院发展研究所进行对话，后者正计划与联合国人类安全信托基金建立与联合国机构和企业的伙伴关系。我们还将与UKRI GCRF性别，正义和安全中心以及LSE冲突，正义与和平平台协调，通过与全球南方研究人员的在线活动促进知识交流，并增加我们研究结果的影响力和影响力。协调员将参与安第斯山脉大学管理学院发展研究跨学科中心提供的机构支助。VPS网络将发展经验和实证基础，为人文学科（伦理学，道德哲学，以艺术为基础的参与方法）和其他学科（例如，人类学和公共政策）。它将对那些每天都在努力促进在各种比较背景下建立信任和可持续和平倡议的人产生短期和长期影响。

The Violence Security Peace (VSP) Network represents an interdisciplinary, cross-sector initiative with representatives from 21 institutions and organizations in 13 different countries throughout 4 regions of the world. It brings together academics and practitioners to address the issue of trust in societies trying to find their way out of war and other forms of organized violence and insecurity. The following questions guide Network activities: what can these geographically dispersed groups teach each other about peacebuilding? And, what do the differences between the comparative contexts teach us about the possibilities and limits of trust-building after war more generally? Network members have theoretical and applied methodological training from world leading academic institutions; they also deliver a wealth of experience in the practical application of institutional strengthening, measurement, and accountability. The collaborative work produced by the VSP Network supports UN SDG 16 goals by working in service of a demonstrable impact on reducing all forms of violence, the recruitment and use of children in armed conflict, and strengthening the rule of law.The PI and CO-I draw from applied experience and professional training in leadership and collaborative team building to guide this initiative's design. The PI's own research focuses on interpersonal trust-building in the aftermath of war factors, and guides the theoretical framing - i.e., the assertion that this is the primordial factor for building sustainable peace. The collaborations within the VSP Network will take on the two tensions inherent to the relationship between trust and peacebuilding. First, the betrayals experienced within the context of war and war-like violence corrode trust at all levels of society. Second, armed conflict will inevitably endure and re-emerge without solving the problems of trust. War and violence fuels distrust and distrust fuels war and violence.The Network will mobilize the wealth of expertise of its members and result in collaborations that will involve and impact practitioners and program designers in this field. It employs a participatory decision-making framework, modelling through action the kinds of practices it intends to foster in the host countries of its members. A touchstone of this inclusive approach involves including former non-state armed actors and military combat veterans who have transitioned from conflict and now mentor others through organizations dedicated to supporting these social transformations. We examine experiences in the context of peacebuilding classed under 're': reintegration, reinsertion, return, rehabilitation, and reconciliation.In addition to the initial VSP Network membership, the PI and CO-I will draw from the wealth of available institutional resources. The Network will operate in dialogue with LSE IDEAS, which is planning with the UN Trust Fund for Human Security to implement a partnership with UN agencies and businesses. We will also coordinate with the UKRI GCRF Gender, Justice and Security Hub and the LSE Conflict, Justice and Peace Platform to promote knowledge exchange through online events with Global South researchers and increase the impact and reach of our findings. The CO-I will engage with the institutional supports made available by the Interdisciplinary Centre for the Study of Development (CIDER) at the Universidad de los Andes Management School. The VPS Network will develop the experiential and empirical base to make significant contributions to theory and practice in a variety of disciplines in the humanities (ethics, moral philosophy, arts-based methodologies of engagement) and beyond (e.g., anthropology and public policy). It will result in near- and long-term impact for those working everyday to facilitate trust-building and sustainable peace initiatives across a wide range of comparative contexts.
