National Policy Frameworks for Cybersecurity and Cyberdefense The goal of this publication is to understand current cybersecurity policies as a facet of a country’s national security policy, and particularly how cyberdefense is embedded in a state’s cybersecurity posture. In the past decade cyberconflict has been increasingly discussed at the highest political and military levels.

Fragility, Aid, and State-Building
Fragility, Aid, and State-building Fragile states pose major development and security challenges. Considerable international resources are therefore devoted to state-building and institutional strengthening in fragile states, with generally mixed results. This volume explores how unpacking the concept of fragility and studying its dimensions and forms can help to build policy-relevant under- standings of how states become more resilient and the role of aid therein. It highlights the particular challenges for donors in dealing with ‘chronically’ (as opposed to ‘temporarily’) fragile states and those with weak legitimacy, as well as how unpacking fragility can provide traction on how to take ‘local context’ into account. Three chapters present new analysis from innovative initiatives to study fragility and fragile state transitions in cross- national perspective. Four chapters offer new focused analysis of selected countries, drawing on comparative methods and spotlighting the role of aid versus historical, institu- tional and other factors. It has become a truism that one-size-fits-all policies do not work in development, whether in fragile or non-fragile states. This should not be confused with a broader rejection of ‘off-the-rack’ policy models that can then be further adjusted in particular situations. Systematic thinking about varieties of fragility helps us to develop this range, drawing lessons – appropriately – from past experience. This book was originally published as a special issue of Third World Quarterly, and is available online as an Open Access monograph. Rachel M. Gisselquist is a political scientist and currently a Research Fellow with UNU-WIDER. She works on the politics of the developing world, with particular attention to ethnic politics and group-based inequality, state fragility, governance and democratiza- tion in sub-Saharan Africa.

The thesis aim is to understand and investigate how the DRC's educational sector has managed to be resilient over time (especially with regard to its funding), taking into account the interaction of different actors involved. Through the application of Tobias Hagmann and Didier Péclard's negotiated statehood approach to the Congolese educational sector and to a specific school in Goma, Bemba Gombo / Saint Franҫois Xavier Insitute, it is possible to understand who are the principal actors in the educational field, and which actors are excluded from the negotiating tables of the Congolese educational sector.

Land access in rural Africa: Strategies to fight gender inequality FAO-Dimitra workshop – September 2008 Land access in rural Africa: Strategies to fight gender inequality FAO-Dimitra workshop: Information and communication strategies to fight gender inequality as regards land access and its consequences for rural populations in Africa 22-26 September 2008 – Brussels, Belgium For Marie Mwira © Dimitra Dear Marie, This publication is dedicated to you, the brave and tireless activist for women’s rights and peace in the Great Lakes Region. You impressed us with your courage and strength in such a difficult environment. The last time we met you, in February 2008, you told us how many of Africa’s problems were connected to customary discrimination against women and to land control issues. Your strategies for dealing with these problems – information campaigns to repackage and disseminate texts and conventions on human rights, education, exchanging experiences, advocacy, and so on – would have fit in perfectly with this document. We will never forget you. The Dimitra team and its partners Marie Mwira was President of the Réseau Femme et Développement (REFED – Women and Development Network) in North Kivu as well as President of the organisation Genre et Tradition pour le Développement et la Paix au Nord-Kivu (Gender and Tradition for Development and Peace in North Kivu). She died of a heart attack in Goma on 2 December 2008. © Dimitra Thérèse, a widow, lives in a camp for displaced people near her native “ hill (colline).

Islamophobia, Xenophobia and the Climate of Hate

Speciﬁc research projects focus on the impact of national security laws and the war against terrorism on race relations and the impact of the EU’s new policy of ‘managed migration’ on refugee protection.

Email: [email protected] © Institute of Race Relations 2006 Preface In this issue of the Bulletin, we document around eighty of the most serious incidents of racial violence that have taken place across Europe over the last eleven months. These attacks occurred as the war on terror heightened prejudices against Muslims and foreigners. As Islam has been essentialised (by commentators, politicians and the media) as inherently violent and migration has been depicted as a threat to national security, 'Muslim' has become synonymous with ‘terrorist’, and migrant and foreigner with ‘crime’.

Deep Cooperation by Belgian Defence : Absorbing the Impact of Declining Defence Budgets on National Capabilities
This item is the archived peer-reviewed author-version of: Deep cooperation by Belgian defence : absorbing the impact of declining defence budgets on national capabilities Reference: Sauer Tom.- Deep cooperation by Belgian defence : absorbing the impact of declining defence budgets on national capabilities Defence Studies - ISSN 1470-2436 - 15:1(2015), p. 46-62 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.1080/14702436.2015.1005900 Institutional repository IRUA Deep cooperation by Belgian defence: absorbing the impact of declining defense budgets on national capabilities Pieter-Jan Parrein and Tom Sauer1 Since the end of the Cold War, Belgian Defence has been used by the Belgian government as an important tool for foreign policy. The accompanying strategic plan 2000-2015, however, that was aimed to adapt the capabilities of the armed forces to the new reality has never been seen as an essential guidance by the Belgian decision-makers. Instead, the Belgian armed forces have been adapted due to budget cuts, and only in a minor way because of strategic considerations. This has resulted in an imbalance between the budget for personnel, operating costs and investments. The result is a smaller but still broad force adapted to collective security/crisis management with land forces specialized in (medium and) light infantry tasks. The air and naval capabilities have been made suitable to the lower intensity of collective security operations although they were designed for the higher part of the violence spectrum. Interestingly, the small Belgian navy has been able to maintain its two major capabilities - maritime mine counter measures vessels, and surface combatants -.

Report for the Voluntary National Review
Report for the Voluntary National Review Denmark’s implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Ministry of Finance JUNE 2017 Report for the Voluntary National Review Denmark’s implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Ministry of Finance JUNE 2017 Preface The 2030 Agenda and 17 SDGs together constitute a vision for our world and planet and a call to action. Delivering on this promise will require an enormous effort, and rightfully so. Lack of ambition is not an option when it comes to our people’s and planet’s collective well- being. Denmark is uniquely positioned to achieve and promote the 2030 Agenda and the 17 SDGs. As Minister of Finance, I am proud to say that we have a strong economy and low unem- ployment combined with green energy, healthcare and education for all, gender equality, freedom of speech and a social safety net that supports those furthest behind. Since 1980, Denmark has achieved economic growth without any significant increases in total energy consumption, and even decreased emissions. Denmark also takes responsibility internationally. We are among the six countries in the world that meet the common UN goal of providing 0.7 percent of GNI in ODA. We have done so since 1978 and will continue to do so. Having a head start does not imply that Denmark will sit back and relax. I was at the United Nations in 2015 when the 2030 Agenda was adopted, and as a politician I consider it an essential part of my responsibility that we take into account all three dimensions of sustaina- ble development when we propose new initiatives: economic, environmental and social.
