Description du livre
For over a year now, the world has been going through the ordeal of the pandemic. Multilateralism has suffered as a result. Far from creating a movement of solidarity, the virus has left it even more vulnerable.
However, the pandemic does not explain everything. Its fallout cannot conceal the underlying trends at the root of the current upheavals in multilateralism.
Leaders for Peace have taken multiple initiatives during the period in line with its two fundamental goals: to propose and to act.
The 2021 report takes up the proposals made, and provides a vision of a renewed multilateralism that forces us to consider the famous «world after». The fracture lines are clear. Competition instead of cooperation - Tension and a new Cold War - A return to the world before or ecological transition.
Fortunately, in the midst of multiple pitfalls, an area of consensus is emerging at the heart of international relations in order to renew multilateralism. And address the challenges of avoiding further fragmentation and preventing global order from being reduced to a simple logic of blocs.
With this in mind, Leaders for Peace has several proposals to offer. This report expresses our confidence in a multilateralism that supports new ideas in step with the changes of our century, as well as our confidence in extending the necessary innovations in diplomacy to civil society.
Faced with the combined effects of crises and the increase of violence, it is our collective responsibility to arm future generations through a pedagogy of Peace. This is the founding vocation of the Peace Schools: to ensure the transmission of the tools and methods of peace-building to make these young people producers of Peace in their own environments.
