CPG ́s Peace and Security Academy

March 20–29, 2023, Faculty of Law, Thammasat University, Bangkok, Thailand

jointly organized by
the German–Southeast Asian Center of Excellence for Public Policy and Good Governance (CPG), the Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSS), Bangkok/Laos Office, and the Asian Governance Foundation (AGF)

 

The Academy

The provision of peace and security is the fundamental objective of statehood and international order. As much as peace and security unquestionably form the primary and most precious goal of any political order, they are inescapably challenged by a broad phalanx of threats. To maintain and restore peace and security on the local, national, and international level therefore lies at the core of statecraft and remains one of the most consequential subjects of political–, legal–, historical–, psychological–, sociological–, and military studies.

While the Cold War era brought about a great interest in the conceptual foundations of the peace and security layer of statecraft, the focus of interest expanded to various challenges like ethnical violent conflicts, terrorism, piracy, and organized crime since the end of the Cold War. At the same time, with the 1994 Human Development Report, these issues became often embedded in a broader practical approach to human security comprising the interconnected economic, food, health, environmental, personal, community and political dimension of security.

At present, the eternal quest for peace and security faces the concurrence of particularly challenging conditions on a global scale that are affecting the full spectrum of human security from the local to the international level.

Insofar, the global state of peace and security is shaped by critically shifting parameters in five interrelated dimensions:

– A fraying global order,
– An increasingly fierce great power rivalry,
– An emerging primacy of geopolitics,
– A disrupted and reshaping globalization,
– An unprecedented rise of global challenges among which some pose existential threats to human civilization.

Under these conditions, peace and security will be at the heart of politics, law, and governance in all domains for the years to come. Against this background, CPG ́s Peace and Security Academy 2023 seeks to explore questions such as:

– Which paradigms and basic conditions shape the strategies of and outlooks for peace and security?
– What does history tell us so far?
– Which institutions, normative orders, governance mechanisms and tools are available to maintain or restore peace and security?
– What are some of the most pressing challenges for peace and security in our time?
– How will some of the current conflict spots in Asia likely develop in the foreseeable future?

We will address these and other questions with leading scholars, senior practitioners, and seasoned experts from a broad range of disciplinary and professional backgrounds over an eight teaching–day intensive certificate course in Southeast Asia’s vibrant hub Bangkok.

In more than 20 sessions employing different teaching and learning formats participants will learn first–hand about key security challenges, obtain crucial skills, and analytical tools to better deal with a wide range of peace and security challenges.

Course structure and duration

The Academy will be held on eight teaching days in the period from 20 to 29 March 2023 at the Faculty of Law, Thammasat University, Tha Prachan Campus, Bangkok, Thailand, with about six hours teaching and discussion time each day.
