Political Economy of Peacebuilding Training Course
Introduction
Building sustainable peace in post-conflict societies goes beyond simply silencing the guns; it requires a deep understanding of the underlying political and economic forces that drive conflict and shape peace processes. This 5-day training course on the Political Economy of Peacebuilding offers a critical examination of how economic structures, power dynamics, and governance arrangements influence the trajectory of peace and stability. Participants will delve into the complex interplay of illicit economies, natural resource management, equitable development, and institutional reforms, recognizing that peace is inextricably linked to the distribution of resources, opportunities, and political power.
This intensive program is designed for peacebuilding practitioners, policymakers, development professionals, humanitarian actors, and researchers grappling with the complexities of post-conflict recovery. It will equip attendees with the analytical tools to diagnose the political economy of specific conflict contexts, identify potential spoilers and peace constituencies, and design interventions that address the root causes of conflict while fostering inclusive and sustainable economic transformation. By providing a nuanced perspective on the "who benefits" and "who loses" in both conflict and peace, this course aims to empower participants to contribute to more effective and equitable peacebuilding strategies.
