Challenges and barriers for systems level lived experience leadership
This action research project aimed at understanding the challenges and barriers that established and emerging lived experience leaders experience in their organisational and community contexts. The study reports on qualitative focus groups/online forum with 31 diverse lived experience leader participants and 14 individual interviews with mental health and community service and sector leaders. The data was thematically analysed using a systems cha…
Restorative Conferences as a Conflict Resolution Tool
Conflicts, violence and breaches of discipline are common in Zimbabwean schools. Teachers have always used retributive practices, particularly corporal punishment, to deal with these problems, but this approach has been outlawed since 2013. Since then, teachers have struggled to handle indiscipline without using corporal punishment. Restorative disciplinary practices such as restorative conferences, peer mediation and peacebuilding circles are po…
Willingness to pay for improved vision in Mozambique
The burden of vision impairment due to uncorrected refractive error (needing spectacles) in Mozambique is known to be significant. To improve the planning and provision of eye health services, a better understanding of how vision is valued by patients is needed. The willingness to pay (WTP) for improved vision through correcting refractive error was investigated in Nampula, Mozambique, using stated choice and bidding game methodologies. The mean …
Participatory Action Research For Peacebuilding
For many years, as supervisors of postgraduate research projects, we encouraged exploratory research—uncovering and developing new knowledge—in the hope that this would somehow bring about social c
Forced sex, rape and sexual exploitation
This paper reports on fieldwork carried out in 2011 with the aim of investigating the attitudes and reported behaviour of Congolese high school students concerning sexual relationships. A total of 56 boys and girls aged 16-20 from two urban and two rural high schools in South Kivu Province took part in focus groups, and 40 of these were subsequently interviewed individually. The majority of boys felt that they were entitled to sex from their girl…
Fire as a Health Asset in Integrated Care / El fuego como Bien de Salud en Atención Integrada
Introduction: Demand for health and social care is increasing as a result of an increase in people with long term conditions (LTCs) alongside an ageing population.The NHS has identified that people with LTCs typically only access health care for seven hours a year.The work of fire and rescue services (FRS) presents a significant additional opportunity to engage someone about their health providing proactive preventative support to people in their…

Hope the Beloved Country
Ministries of peacebuilding in sub-Saharan Africa
This paper begins by explaining the concept of a culture of peace and contrasts it with a culture of violence. It argues that traditional ways of trying to achieve peace – based on force or threat of force – are costly, ineffective and of doubtful morality. At the same time, nonviolent means have achieved some formidable successes. The paper proposes the establishment of national ministries of peacebuilding to coordinate and implement the buildin…
Building peace and security after genocide
After the three-month-long genocide in Rwanda in 1994 that left over a million dead, one of the pertinent questions in Rwanda is whether peace and security can be established. The answer hinges on the crucial issues of justice and reconciliation. In the years following genocide, with some 800 000 perpetrators awaiting trial, the government's solution to this crisis of justice and the challenge of reconciling an ethnically divided nation was to re…
People-to-people peacemaking and peacebuilding
The aims of this article are to explain the principles and practices of the PTP peacemaking process; to argue the case for greater NSCC emphasis on peacebuilding; and to make recommendations to the NSCC concerning its future peacemaking / peacebuilding work.
The potential of nonviolence in building security in sub-Saharan Africa
This article commences by examining the nature and extent of armed conflict in Africa and the meaning of some key terms from the discipline of peace studies. It then examines two main questions. First, is a national policy of nonviolence possible? Attention is paid to successful examples of demilitarisation from Central America, particularly Costa Rica, which illustrate that such a policy is both practical and highly beneficial. Second, can nonvi…
The military as a resource for peace-building
The use of the military for development purposes in the 1960s fell out of fashion following its involvement in human rights abuses in many countries. This article examines whether it is now appropriate to welcome back the military as an agent of peacebuilding. Two arguments in favour—the economic and the Gandhian—are considered and then compared with some arguments against. While there is an obvious role for the military in peacekeeping, the arti…
Civilianising Military Functions in Sub-Saharan Africa
The privatization of activities previously performed by government has been a major characteristic of economic policies over the past two decades. This article examines the potential for privatization of military activities in the African context. Four categories in which this has or might occur are mercenaries employed by a government to provide for defence or to supplement its own military; private security company personnel employed to protect…
The Irrationality of South Africa's Military Expenditure
It is almost universally accepted that security is achieved by having a strong mititary. South African defence policy and practice is based squarely on such thinking. Yet this thinking can be challenged at a number of levels. In particular, it is not consistent with new thinking about security, in which territorial security is far less important, for example, than poverty and inequality; it is not consistent with present or conceivable future thr…
The Economics of Landmine Clearance in Afghanistan
This paper presents an economic evaluation of landmine clearance in Afghanistan. The main benefits comprise increased agricultural output, saved transport time and running costs, saved human casualties and the saved costs of supporting refugees and displaced persons. An investment of US$100 million between 1988 and 1998 is estimated to provide annual benefits of $50.3 million per annum between 1999 and 2008. This translates into net present value…

Malraux, myth, political commitment and the Spanish civil war
Malraux's reputation depends on a carefully crafted interface between his biography and his writing. Bolstered by the Communists’ quest for an intellectual anti‐fascist front in the 1930s and confirmed both by Le Temps du mépris and his commitment to the Spanish Republic, the convergence of Malraux's left‐wing image and his reality seems clear. This correlation between myth and history coincides with a marked shift in L'Espoir from revolution as …
Financing the sri lankan armed conflict, 1983-92
This article begins with a discussion of the various costs which occur as a result of armed conflict. It then examines the alternative ways in which wars can be financed. Sri Lanka's military expenditure increased six fold, in real terms, between 1981 and 1991. This increase appears to have been financed principally from a reduction in capital expenditures and by a diversion of expenditures away from Economic Affairs and Services, and within this…

The move towards greater public-sector efficiency has meant considerable changes in resource allocation to higher education. An efficient and equitable restructuring of the sector will be greatly assisted by the sensible use of appropriate performance indicators. This article extends previous work, which looked at the quantity of refereed publications, by developing research performance indicators based on citations, research grants, and peer rev…

Trade-offs Between Defence and Education/Health Expenditures in Developing Countries
It is commonly believed that defence expenditures have a particular ability to compete government financial resources away from other activities, especially education and health. This article uses a number of methods to test for the existence and strength of such trade-offs in a large number of LDCs. Cross- sectional analysis of government expenditures found that few countries which were low defence spenders were high spenders on education/health…
The Determinants of Defence Expenditure in the Asean Region
This article attempts to determine the extent to which domestic economic conditions have influenced le vels of defence expenditure in five ASEAN countries since the early 1960s. Whilst aspects of data qua lity preclude a precise conclusion, it seems that domestic economic forces do exert at least a moderate influence on defence expenditure. Defence expenditure in the current year was positively related to de fence expenditure in the previous year…
