New Nordic Peace: Nordic Peace and Conflict Resolution Efforts
Author: Hagemann, Anine
Publisher: Nordic Council of Ministers
ISBN: 9289361433
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 57
Book Description
For a long time, the Nordic countries have been a region of peace, with the ability to resolve conflicts peacefully among themselves, and a region for peace, actively promoting peace globally. Although efforts to actively brand the Nordic region are ongoing, the Nordic Peace brand is an area with untapped potential. The Nordics have rich traditions for working together on peace and conflict resolution. These joint efforts have grown organically and informally from like-mindedness, letting the common Nordic culture and ways of working foster integration among them where relevant. The people working in the Nordic countries on Nordic cooperation and peace recognize the potential of strengthening the Nordic Peace brand. One area of special potential is increasing focus on the shared Nordic priorities of prevention and the women, peace and security agenda as part of the Nordic Peace brand.

Pages : 20
Book Description
The Programme for Education and Research for the Swedish Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers presents the presidency’s main priorities in the area of education and research. Through its Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers in 2018, Sweden wishes to work for an inclusive, innovative and secure Nordic region. In achieving those goals, education and research have a crucial part to play. To enable individuals and societies to develop, education has to be inclusive and accessible to all. The education we provide must be sustainable, but also capable of responding to the changes taking place in society. Research is one of the areas that need to be most innovative and dynamic of all, to offer answers to the major challenges which our societies face and which we share across the Nordic countries. Important starting points for the the Swedish Presidency are strengthening the Nordic added value and the need for a long-term approach. That requires a clear focus on long-term strategic issues that will strengthen the foundations for Nordic co-operation in education and research. Two questions crucial to the future will dominate the Presidency year. The first is our common Nordic research policy, the second the report of the High Level Group on the future of Nordic co-operation in education.

Finally the book discuss the practical implementation phase of the process – based on the first feedback acquired from certain regions engaged in the preparation of their smart specialisation strategy. The book is original in that it provides the first full analysis of smart specialisation strategies both at theoretical and practical levels. It has been written at the critical period of the implementation of smart specialisation strategies in every region in Europe. The fact that the EU has adopted smart specialisation as a mandatory principle for every region and member states will make this book well received by and very useful for: i) policy makers in regional and national administrations in Europe, ii) policy makers in other parts of the world who are in charge of regional policy and have heard about the concept, iii) consultants, analysts and experts who are active on the "markets for smart specialisation diagnosis and expertise", iv) scholars, researchers and graduate students working in the field of regional studies, technology policy and geography of innovation.
