Conducta prosocial, empatía y apoyo emocional en organizaciones de víctimas del conflicto armado: Mesa departamental del Atlántico (2019-2021)

La mayoría de los estudios sobre conducta prosocial grupal se han desarrollado en torno a grupos de voluntariados y enfatizan en la importancia de los procesos de socialización primaria (Coghlan, 2015; Eisenberg, Spinrad, & Knafo-Noam, 2015; Valor-Segura, & Rodríguez-Bailón, 2011; Van Lange, Schippers, & Balliet, 2011). Este trabajo se distanció de esta línea clásica de indagación de la prosocialidad, para analizar tendencias prosociales en líderes de organizaciones sociales que se implican en procesos de reparación y reconciliación social de víctimas de un conflicto violento en un escenario de justicia transicional (Gómez, 2019; Gómez y Marín, 2018; Peltier- Bonneau y Szwarcberg, 2019; Rico y Bolívar, 2014; Rico y Maza, 2017; Vollhardt y Staub, 2011; Weinstein, 2014).1a edició

Talking to the Shameless?: Sexual Violence and Mediation in Intrastate Conflicts

To what extent, does sexual violence influence the likelihood of conflict management in intrastate conflicts? Despite a growing body of research that explores conflict-related sexual violence, the literature presents little insight on its effects on conflict resolution. Extending feminist international relations (IR) theory to intrastate conflicts and applying a gender lens to the power to hurt argument, I argue that when rebel sexual violence is public knowledge, the likelihood of conflict management increases because the state perceives it as a threat to its masculinity. I systematically test this argument on all intrastate conflict years from 1990 to 2009 using the Sexual Violence in Armed Conflict and the Civil War Mediation data set. The results provide robust support for the argument. This presents an important refinement of traditional rationalist conflict bargaining theories and opens new avenues for the research and practice of conflict management

Peace and Justice through a Feminist Lens: Gender Justice and the Women’s Court for the Former Yugoslavia

Post-conflict interventions to ‘deal with’ violent pasts have moved from exception to global norm. Early efforts to achieve peace and justice were critiqued as ‘gender-blind’—for failing to address sexual and gender-based violence, and neglecting the gender-specific interests and needs of women in transitional settings. The advent of UN Security Council resolutions on ‘Women, Peace and Security’ provided a key policy framework for integrating both women and gender issues into transitional justice processes and mechanisms. Despite this, gender justice and equality in (post-)conflict settings remain largely unachieved. This article explores efforts to attain gender-just peace in post-conflict Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). It critically examines the significance of a recent ‘bottom-up’ truth-telling project—the Women’s Court for the former Yugoslavia—as a locally engaged approach to achieving justice and redress for women impacted by armed conflict. Drawing on participant observation, documentary analysis, and interviews with women activists, the article evaluates the successes and shortcomings of responding to gendered forms of wartime violence through truth-telling. Extending Nancy Fraser’s tripartite model of justice to peacebuilding contexts, the article advances notions of recognition, redistribution and representation as crucial components of gender-just peace. It argues that recognizing women as victims and survivors of conflict, achieving a gender-equitable distribution of material and symbolic resources, and enabling women to participate as agents of transitional justice processes are all essential for transforming the structural inequalities that enable gender violence and discrimination to materialize before, during, and after conflict

Difficult peace, limited justice: ten years of peacemaking in DR Congo

This report reviews the efforts to address justice during ten years of varied peace negotiations in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
