Multi-stakeholder Partnerships in conflict-affected countries

Multi-Part Project Final Conference

Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies – Pisa (Italy)

September 22-23, 2010

Can multi-stakeholder partnerships positively impact on human security and thus, facilitate non-violence and long-term peace, providing a productive framework for relations between local actors and external actors, including third party mediators and international organizations? How and under what conditions?

MultiPart Project, supported by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Programme of the Europea n Union for research, technological development and demonstration activities, socio-economic and humanities research, has carried out a thirty-month investigation involving eleven European research institutions, in order to explore opportunities to directly impact on partnerships that are evolving in conflict-affected societies and to reflect on the role played by partnerships’  stakeholders, including international actors.

This two-day event will provide the occasion to  present and evaluate the strategic findings of the research project and stimulate dialogue among scholars and stakeholders actively engaged in the issue of post-conflict development, and promote informed exchange on the nature and role of multi-stakeholder partnerships in conflict-affected countries.
On the first day renowned experts from academia and International Organizations will address crucial issues in the current debate over MSPs in conflict affected countries, providing a combination of theoretic and technical expertise as well as  political insights.

On the second day the debate will be organised in two panels around the strategic findings of the Project and will engage selected Mutli-stakeholder Partnerhips’ representatives from private, public and civic sectors, donors’ representatives and local researchers from the study countries of the Project - Kosovo, DRC and Afghanistan.
Your participation is highly welcome!

here is the announcement for the competition and the selection to participate in the Second International Research Seminar for Young Americanists. The Committee will observe the following guidelines: coherence, wholeness, originality of the research project, territorial equity among regions and states. The selection committee reserves the right to suggest accepted applicants revisions and improvements of their 4-page research summaries that will act as the bases for their oral presentations at the conference.

It is our hope that you may be personally interested in partecipating in the competition or in forwarding this email to younger colleagues who potentially are.

Applications from participants in the First Research Seminar for Young Americanists are acceptable if it is clearly explained why the new applications is different form the first one, because it is a different research topic, because new sources have been examined, because the research is at a different, more advanced stage. In any case, applications for former partecipants will be considered only after the priority given to new applicants.

With best regards,

Karim Mezran (CSA)
