SUMMARY:Book Talk with Miranda Melcher: Securing Peace in Angola and Mozambique
DESCRIPTION:Photo by PASCAL PAVANI/AFP via Getty Images\nDoes it really matter what’s written on page 36\, protocol V\, section III\, point 5 of a UN-endorsed peace treaty? \nJoin us as Dr Miranda Ruwart Melcher presents her new book\, Securing Peace in Angola and Mozambique: The Importance of Specificity in Peace Treaties. \nThis book helps explain how and why there are such diverging outcomes of UN peace negotiations and treaties through a detailed examination of peace processes in the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars. Dr Melcher shows that seemingly small details – such as who wears suits\, who has toothbrushes\, and how specific words are translated between French and English – can and have delayed peace or contributed to restarting wars. \nFollowing a presentation of the book\, there will be time for a discussion of its key themes. \nWHEN: 10:30 am – 11:30 am\, Thursday 09 May 2024 \nWHERE: Teaching Room 07\, Old College\, Edinburgh University Law School \nPlease register to attend on Eventbrite.\nAbout the book: \nSecuring Peace in Mozambique and Angola presents a detailed qualitative analysis of the peace treaties of the civil wars in Angola and Mozambique\, analysing the text in comparative detail while also investigating and making arguments about the processes through which the treaties were negotiated\, and how this impacted their implementation. In addition to using the treaties themselves\, the book draws on previously unopened UN archives about peacekeeping missions in Angola and Mozambique\, giving unique insight in on-the-ground peacekeeping in the 1990s and the evolution of what UN peacekeeping meant and means. \nThe book also: \n\nCombines UN archival material with interviews from key figures involved in negotiations\, going behind closed doors to illuminate how peace treaties are actually negotiated\nExplains divergent outcomes for two long civil wars that have important similarities to many civil wars currently underway\nTraces how the end of the Cold War played out in proxy conflicts and explains why the end of the Cold War made some conflicts worse\nOffers an alternative option to the oft-implemented Disarmament\, Demobilisation\, and Reintegration (DDR) which has mixed outcomes and logic\n\nPlease register to attend on Eventbrite. \nThis event is organised by Peacerep. \nThis event is in person only.

SUMMARY:IGO Engagement in Peace Agreements: Building a Dataset with PA-X
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Kathryn Nash and Brooke Coe discuss their research methods for building a new dataset using the PA-X Peace Agreements Database. \nTheir dataset on IGO engagement in peace agreements informed their minibook\, ‘Regionalized Governance in the Global South’. A year on from its publication\, Nash and Coe have released a new policy brief\, which summarises the book’s findings for a broad audience\, and their dataset and codebook\, which underpins their research findings. \nThis event is hybrid. Those who are able to attend in person are invited to join us for a drinks reception following the panel discussion to celebrate the release of the dataset and policy brief. \nWHERE: Online/Moot Court Room\, Old College\, University of Edinburgh Law School \nWHEN: 4 pm – 5:30 pm GMT\, Wednesday 22 May 2024. \nAGENDA: \n\n4 pm: Panel discussion\n5 pm: Q&A\n5:30 pm: Wine reception\n\nRegister to attend in person via Eventbrite. \nOR \nRegister to attend online via Zoom. \nThis event is organised by PeaceRep in conjunction with the Global Justice Academy. \n\nAbout ‘Regionalized Governance in the Global South’: \nThis minibook explores the division of labour and concentration of authority amongst inter-governmental organisations (IGOs) in Latin America and Africa. It focuses on multilevel governance across global and regional IGOs in the domains of peace and security and human rights.
