Guide for local peace agendas and decentralized cooperation: Guidelines for strengthening local public policies for peace. 2024

The “Guide for local peace agendas and decentralized cooperation. Guidelines for strengthening local peace policies” has been developed by the EU-LA Decentralized Cooperation Observatory in collaboration with the Gernika Gogoratuz Peace Research Center and is part of the Observatory’s Studies Collection. The commission has been elaborated mainly by Jokin Alberdi and Tica Font, with the support of María Oianguren, Liliana Zambrano-Quintero and the collaboration of the International Catalan Institute for Peace (ICIP).

The study has two objectives: to show the potential of decentralized cooperation for the design, implementation and strengthening of local peace policies and to identify and analyze current initiatives that can serve as good practices. From a critical approach, the publication begins with a glossary of concepts to frame the proposed paradigm shift, analyzes the main challenges of peacebuilding and the role of local actors. It is followed by the identification and systematization of the main decentralized cooperation initiatives on peace between the European and Latin American regions and ends with conclusions and recommendations.
