Making Gender Great Again? The Legacy of Colombia’s Historic Agreement

Season 2024 · Episode 12

Monday, September 2, 2024 • Duration 29:49

In 2016 in Havana, the Colombian government signed a peace agreement with the FARC-EP guerilla, after several years of first secret, and then official, negotiations. The Havana talks and peace agreement have been acclaimed as the most gender inclusive in history. 8 years later, what is happening with the implementation of the agreement, and what are women’s roles in peace processes in Colombia today?

In this episode, NUPI’s Jenny Lorentzen sits down with Priscyll Anctil Avoine (@priscyll_), researcher in Feminist Security Studies at the Swedish Defence University, and Dag Nylander (@DagNylander), NOREF director and former mediator to the peace process between the Colombian government and the FARC-EP.

Having researched the political participation of women ex-combatants in armed conflict and peace processes in Colombia for the last 10 years, Avoine brings to the conversation the perspective of the women ex-combattants and colombian activists, while Nylander shares insights from his direct experience in the negotiations. Together, they shed light on the role of gender and women’s involvement in the Havana talks, the challenges related to implementing the 2016 agreement, as well as what lessons were learned in the Havana process that can be applied to the current negotiations with the ELN and future peace processes in Colombia.

If you want to find out more about the political engagement of women ex-combattants in Colombia, you can follow @MujerFariana (the Farianas) and @CafAnaPaz1, an organization working for reconciliation and to recover the memory of women signatories of the peace agreement.

This podcast is part of the project “Women, Peace and Security: Status Review and Study on Peace Processes in Colombia and South Sudan,” led by Jenny Lorentzen (@jennylorentzen).

What is the future for peacekeeping?

How to Become a Hegemon

Season 2024 · Episode 1

Tuesday, January 16, 2024 • Duration 35:03

In this episode NUPI's Ole Jacob Sending sits down with Professor Dan Nexon of Georgetown University to talk about how international political leadership – or hegemony – is established and undone.

Nexon argues that hegemony is established through the supply of (public) goods – such as security – for other states. This is what the US has been doing for decades, but now China is trying to replace the US, providing alternative goods and also seeking to reduce the value of what the US has to offer.

Tuesday, October 17, 2023 • Duration 32:57

In this episode of the The World Stage, NUPI researchers Thor Olav Iversen and Cedric de Coning discuss how to sustain peace amidst the uncertainty and unpredictability of complex crises.

Together with Thor Olav, he discuss their findings and reflects on what constitutes the liberal model of peace and why it has come under heavy criticism, the local nature of peace processes, the agency of the people affected by conflict and how peacebuilding efforts need to continuously adapt to the complex and dynamic realities on the ground.

The UN Secretary-General’s New Agenda for Peace: What new challenges will it address?

Season 2023 · Episode 13

Thursday, June 8, 2023 • Duration 28:40

What issues are likely to be covered in the Agenda for Peace? Why is it important?

UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, has called for a ‘New Agenda for Peace’ that can help the United Nations and international community address the many complex challenges the world faces today.

In this edition of the World Stage podcast, NUPI’s Cedric de Coning is in conversation with Asif Khan, the Director of the Policy and Mediation Division of the Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs of the United Nations.

The ‘old’ Agenda for Peace refers to a policy document that was first released by UN Secretary-General Boutrous Boutrous Ghali in 1992. It was a landmark policy document that framed the UN’s peace and security’s theory of change around preventive diplomacy, peacekeeping and peacebuilding.

This podcast considers the main issues that the New Agenda for Peace needs is likely to address, including new issues like the climate-peace nexus, and the risks and opportunities that new technologies like Artificial Intelligence may pose for international peace and security.
