  • Peace & Sustainability
    Lund University FKVK02 Department of Political Science VT19 Peace and Conflict Studies Supervisor: Klas Nilsson Peace & Sustainability An Evaluation of the United Nations’ Peacebuilding Missions in Afghanistan Natalie Varady Abstract This study is an attempt of exploring and evaluating the conducts of peacebuilding missions carried out by the United Nations. With the policies and goals for a sustainable development as the root of interest, this essay explores how rhetoric and ambitions are translated into concrete strategies and actions. To evaluate the peacebuilding missions of the United Nations, this study has used the methodological structure of a qualitative case study, with the empirical research provided from the United Nations’ missions in Afghanistan from 2002 until today. The actions made by The United Nations in the peace process in Afghanistan has been evaluated through the theoretical framework of Peace Ecology. The theory has provided a foundation for creating peaceful and sustainable societies. Peace Ecology stresses the need for new perspectives regarding mankind’s interdependence and relation to the environment and advocates for the return of the commons and the development of local and community-based cooperation over resources. This study reveals that the United Nations is not fully maintaining their purposes of policies in their concrete action. The United Nations may very well have acted upon the belief of creating a peaceful society. However, the conducts made will not, according to the theoretical framework presented

  • The Criminal Law and the Chronically Homeless in the United States
    Getting kicked when you are down: The criminal law and the chronically homeless in the United States. Conor Califf1 “To be shelterless and alone in the open country, hearing the wind moan and watching for day through the whole long weary night; to listen to the falling rain, and crouch for warmth beneath the lee of some old barn or rick, or in the hollow of a tree; are dismal things—but not so dismal as the wandering up and down where shelter is, and beds and sleepers are by thousands; a houseless rejected creature.”2 Introduction: The issue of the criminalization of homelessness in the United States was thrown into the national spotlight in November of 2014 when a 90-year-old preacher and World War Two veteran, Arnold Abbot was charged by the Fort Lauderdale, Florida police for feeding homeless people in public in breach of a recently enacted law that banned food sharing in the city.3 It wasn’t the first time the pastor was cited by the local government for breaking this city ordinance and it highlights a problem, which needs to be tackled now in the United States. A disturbing trend has surfaced 1 Undergraduate in Law (LLB) at Trinity College Dublin.

  • A Review Essay on Randall Amster's Peace Ecology (2015)
    Journal of Sustainability Education Vol. 10, November 2015 ISSN: 2151-7452 Fostering Hope in Calamitous Times: A Review Essay on Randall Amster’s Peace Ecology (2015) Adrian Fielder Colorado Mountain College [email protected] Abstract: This essay examines Randall Amster’s book Peace Ecology as a critical intervention articulating vital connections among discourses from peace and justice studies (on one hand) and the most vexing problems addressed by sustainability studies (on the other): from violent conflict and social inequity to environmental injustice and global ecocide. Reading this dialogue through the lens of hope, the author argues that Amster’s synthesis of this research provides effective tools for helping educators, students and practitioners of sustainability to generate new thought – and direct action – around these issues. By cataloguing and analyzing the many successes of ecological peacebuilding without absolving the paradigms of thought that continue to propagate war against people and planet, Amster empowers us to avoid both the trap of despair and the delusion of complacent optimism in order to foster the conditions that promote human beings’ mutually-beneficial peace and coexistence with each other and with the Earth. Keywords: peace ecology, peace and justice studies, sustainability studies, hope, agency Adrian Fielder, Ph.D., teaches sustainability studies and literacy development at Colorado Mountain College, where he is Assistant Dean of Instruction. An aficionado of cultural and agro/ecological responses to globalization throughout the world, he has studied and engaged in sustainable community development initiatives in a diversity of urban and rural places in Africa, Europe, Asia and North America. Since 2009, his work has focused on social and environmental justice in the Roaring Fork Valley on Colorado’s Western Slope, where he hopes to apply his training in wildcrafting (from Roaring Foragers) and in community organizing (from the Industrial Areas Foundation) for many years to come.

  • A Writer's Occupation
    Teo’s analysis of Rebecca Solnit’s book, The Encyclopedia of Trouble and Spaciousness , identifies an important problem: How to write about other cultures without usurping their voices? Weaving together a range of sources, her essay responds by helping us understand the delicate relation - ship between representation and power. (Instructor: Gerard O’Donoghue) A WRITER’S OCCUPATION Phionna Teo ccupy , verb. The word occupy in the English language originates from the French word occuper . To occupy, in both its original and contemporary meaning, is “to take possession of, take for one’s own use, seize,” connoting Oan intrusion of space, an invasion of boundaries: in a nutshell, to take a thing or fill a place that does not belong to you (“occupy, v.”). But how can we clearly delineate what belongs to whom? If we consider occuper to belong to the French language, then the word occupy , ironically, becomes an example of English’s occupation. The rise of the Occupy movement, an international effort toward social and political equality, seeks to redefine its eponymous action (“About”). To occupy, as a form of protest, does not just mean to take possession of a building or a piece of land without authority; it means to take back, to repossess, to fight for a space stolen from the people by political or economic elites in the hopes of democratizing that space. Occupation originally meant conquering a territory that did not belong to the occupier. Now, as journalist Randall Amster writes, occupation aims to liberate space, to “[pry] open the inner sanctum of the dominant order” (Amster).

    Journal of Sustainability Education Vol. 10, November 2015 ISSN: 2151-7452 Book Review: Peace Ecology by Randall Amster Lenka Studnicka Prescott College [email protected] Abstract: Renowned author and professor Randall Amster embraces peace ecology as a way to engage in cooperative actions and practices that build community and foster resilience. Peace Ecology bridges the gap between social and environmental sciences, highlighting important ethical and interdisciplinary aspects of the field of peace studies and showing how these relate to both human communities and the places in which they are embedded. Amster, R. (2015). Peace ecology. New York: Routledge. Keywords: peace ecology, sustainability, social justice Lenka Studnicka is an accomplished educator and an award-winning designer.

Amster’s integrative view on issues of peace and ecology superbly connects problems and opportunities together as a forces propelling us toward a sustainable future.

  • Trenna Valado and Randall Amster (2012) Professional Lives, Personal
    Part G _ Reviews 273 Trenna Valado and Randall Amster (2012) Professional Lives, Personal Struggles Maryland: Lexington Books, 215pp. This book is a collection of eloquent essays about ethical quandaries experienced by ethnographic researchers who study homelessness. The focus for the most part is on adults who are on the streets or (less often) interacting with social service agencies. Youth, families, and people residing in shelters or doubled up with others do not make an appearance. All but one of the researchers worked in the United States (Jürgen von Mahs studied adults experiencing homelessness in Berlin), but the dilemmas they describe transcend national boundaries. The authors hope to empower participants and reduce stigma by giving voice to their stories. They strive to document participants’ dignity and resilience without romanticizing homelessness, and worry about reinforcing stereotypes by acknowl- edging substance problems and mental illnesses. They grapple with questions of moral responsibility and whether they should simply document or intervene, whether advocacy might compromise their research, whether radical critiques of social structures might close listeners’ ears to the message. They wrestle with their own power and privilege – their ability to go back to a home at the end of the day – and ask whether they are exploiting the people they study for their own gain, advancing their careers, pocketing their royalty checks, and (sometimes) moving on. Most poignantly, they struggle with their own impotence. As David Cook put it, “I do not know if one single individual has found an end to his or her homeless life because of my research and activism” (p.158).
