Supporting peacebuilding in times of change: Case study Sweden
This report on the changing nature of support for peacebuilding in Europe is the result of 1.5 years of research carried out by ECDPM.
Summary
What are the significant and recurrent factors that influence European peacebuilding support? And how will these impact the engagement of the peacebuilding community in the years to come?
In this report, we look at how the geopolitical fluxes and shifts in domestic politics over the last few years on the one hand, and the need for a more effective response to the rising number of violent conflicts on the other, have affected the way in which Sweden supports peacebuilding initiatives globally.
This is one of the four case studies we looked at in the framework of this project due to their political and financial weight in peacebuilding activities.
