The opinions expressed in this publication do not necessarily represent the views of the Office for the Pro-motion of Peace and Human Rights.

This material was produced in 2006.

The Office for the Promotion of Peace and Human Rights is the arm of the Catalan Government whose main mission is to develop public policies that promote peace and human rights.

The “Materials of Peace and Human Rights” series brings together working papers aimed at providing a new and original vision of fields, by publishing research carried out by specialised centres and experts.

Within the framework of the activities promoted by the Programme for the Creation of the Catalan International Peace Institute (ICIP), the panel of experts who advised the Minister of Home Affairs, Institutional Relations and Participation in the process of creating the ICIP proposed commissioning a series of complementary studies. The Office has decided to include them in the “Materials of Peace and Human Rights” collection, with the aim of recognising their worth and usefulness, and to show appreciation for the fact that the creation of the ICIP has led to this knowledge and these collaborations.

Peace research in Spain 7

1. THE THEMATIC SPECTRUM OF PEACE RESEARCH

One of the most significant facts in the history of peace research is the different emphasis that has been put on various subjects over the years, and the stock of subjects that today make up this subject. In the sixties, it was war studies that predominated (polemology), whereas in subsequent years a very wide range of issues associated with development, structural violence, gender stu-dies, the philosophy of peace, the peace culture, peace education and negotiation and mediation in armed conflicts was added, to mention just a few significant examples.

This broadening of the subject has been a universal phenomenon and in Spain is reflected is the subjects frequently dealt with by the different institutions that exist today (twenty-six), which can be classified in overall terms according to the following six areas:

1 International system

• United Nations

• International relations, globalization

• Humanitarian crises

2 Rearmament, militarization, security and defence

• Demilitarization

• Defence alternatives

3 Education and peace culture

• Conflict prevention

• Human rights

• Intercultural studies

4 Conflict analysis

• Prevention of violent conflict

• Conflict transformation

• Post-war rehabilitation

5 Conflict intervention

• Negotiation and mediation

• Peace processes

• Parallel and citizen diplomacy

• Reconciliation

6 Theory of peace

• Non-violence

• Philosophy of peace

• Gender and peace

• Development and peace

8 Materials of Peace and Human Rights, 2 Office for the Promotion of Peace and Human Rights

Some institutions have a highly-specialized work programme in some of these subjects, either in teaching, research or awareness-building. Others, on the other hand, combine different subject matters. The institutions with a main focus on the first area above (international system) are less involved with peace research although they have been included in certain cases where they have at least one programme in the line of peace research.

(Institutions specialising more in peace research appear in bold type).


As can be seen from the table above, 62% of the institutions specialize either totally or partially in peace education, which is the activity that stands out the most. Half of the sixteen institutions involved in peace education also carry out research, whereas the other half are only involved in training or awareness building. After this comes study of the international system, with eleven institutions (42%), of which only four are peace research institutions as such. In third place are the institutions specializing in rearmament and security, conflict analysis and the theory of peace. Finally, there are only three institutions that specialize in direct intervention in armed conflicts.

This thematic spectrum can, to a certain extent, be linked to the cycle of conflict escalation that, in graphical terms, can be displayed as follows:

This means that theoretical research predominates over practical research in Spain, with a more generalist approach that is clearly educational, didactic and focused on awareness building, as to case studies.

Rearmament and security International system

Conflict intervention

Education and peace culture – Theory of peace

Conflict analysis

3. INSTITUTIONS - GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION

Catalonia and Madrid are the two regional Autonomous Communities in Spain with the most re-search institutions dealing with matters associated with peace, followed by the Basque Country and Valencia. This is due above all to the fact that the first two regions have various institutions specialising in international studies. Just in terms of institutions specialising fundamentally in peace research, Valencia has the most (3).

4. INSTITUTIONS - YEAR FOUNDED

There have been two main periods in peace research in Spain in terms of the setting up of institutions: 1983-1987 and 1999-2000, when ten and seven institutions respectively were set up. Almost half of the institutions have therefore been in existence for more than fifteen years.

7. BUDGETS

Most of the institutions do not disclose their budgets and it is therefore not possible to make a table. Nevertheless, the institutions specializing in international relations have a higher budget than institutions that just specialize in peace research. Some of the budgets made available are as follows:

Institutions Million euros

CIDOB 3,2

Hegoa 1

Unesco Etxea 1

Escola de Cultura de Pau 0,8


8. THE GENDER ASPECT IN MANAGEMENT

Out of the twenty-six 26 institutions analysed, six are directed by women (23%), and the remai-ning twenty by men. Women make up the majority of research staff at the Escola de Cultura de Pau (UAB) and at Gernika Gogoratuz.

9. RESEARCH STAFF

Most of the institutions are run with outside collaborators who participate in different research activi-ties, or people taking PhDs in the case of some universities. In the Peace and Development Studies Group at the University of Alicante, for example, there are twenty-four people who collaborate in this way, ten at the UNESCO Chair of Philosophy of Peace in Castellón and a team of twelve people at the Centre per la Pau Josep M.ª DelásDelàs.

In relation to the institutions with staff on steady contracts, the Escola de Cultura de Pau has a staff of twenty researchers; FRIDE, 14; Unesco Etxea and CIDOB, 8; and Gernika Gogoratuz, 7 people.

10. COURSES OFFERED BY UNIVERSITIES

With reference to the existing university studies in Spain on peace research, at the present time there is one doctorate (a joint PhD between the universities of Granada and Castellón), two Masters (Castellón and the UNiversitat Oberta de Catalunya/UOC), two postgraduate diploma courses (UAB and UOC), two campus-based courses (UAB) and three modules (UAB, Granada and UOC). Four universities are therefore involved, two of which are in Catalonia, to which could be added the Universidad del País Vasco and the Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals, although their programmes do not exactly focus on peace research.

This institute is made up of several universities in Catalonia (UB, UAB, UPB, UOC and UPF) and the Fundación CIDOB, and offers the Master’s Degree in International Relations, which covers the following subjects: peace processes and conflict resolution (4 credits), national security (4 credits), world policy and global security (2 credits), and peace and international security.

11. NON-UNIVERSITY TRAINING

Many of the institutions included here periodically organize courses and training sessions. A sig-nificant selection of these activities is as follows::

Educadores/as por la Paz annually organizes the Peace Education Courses and Events, and also gives teacher training courses.

The Fundació per la Pau annually organizes the Introductory course on peace and conflict, which is six weeks long, in which different subjects are dealt with on conflicts, non-violence, wars and their causes, and peace work.

The Fundació Pere Tarrés, which is linked to the Universitat Ramon Llull, gives support to the Pau i Treva organization, which specializes in mediation and conflict resolution in family, school, community and intercultural contexts. It also organizes extramural postgraduate and Master’s courses on this subject.


The Fundación Seminario de Investigación para la Paz, in Zaragoza, annually organizes the Permanent Seminar, in which an important number of military staff participate. This includes dif-ferent sessions in which a specific theme is analysed. It also annually organizes the Aragonese Peace Education Courses and Events.

Gernika Gogoratuz annually organizes the International Peace Culture Meeting, often with spe-cific themes.

The Instituto de Estudios sobre Conflictos y Acción Humanitaria (IECAH), in Madrid, offers the Course on armed conflicts and humanitarian action, which consists of 16 sessions and 40 teaching hours.

The Seminario Galego de Educación para a Paz annually organizes two Peace Education Meet-ings in Santiago de Compostela, and teacher training courses, as part of the official annual plan of the Galician Department of Education.

The Universitat Internacional de la Pau, which is based in Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona), has organized a one-week summer course, normally on a specific theme, for the last twenty years.

12. PUBLICATIONS

For more than twenty years now, several publishing companies have been open to publishing books on the subject of peace research. The majority of books used to be translations of foreign authors; however, as research in Spain has become more consolidated, many of the authors of books that have been published more recently are associated with institutions around the coun-try. Particular mention is made of the contributions made by two publishing companies, Icària (Barcelona) and Bakeaz (Bilbao).

Out of the twenty-six institutions included in the study, ten publish books on a more or less regular basis, normally with institutional support. Five publish yearbooks, eight publish journals (printed and/or electronic formats) and the great majority publish dossiers, publications and reports.

There is a progressive tendency to publish in electronic format, which enables more people to gain free access to much of the work being produced.

14. AIPAZ

Finally, mention should be made of the setting up in 1997 of the Spanish Peace Research As-sociation (AIPAZ), founded initially by peace research institutions in Madrid, Guernika, Zaragoza and Cordoba, peace education groups in different regional Autonomous Communities in Spain, and researchers linked to university institutions in Granada, Barcelona, Castellón and Alicante. During the eight years of its existence, it has organized three congresses, annual meetings for the members, as well as a members’ bulletin. The association is not very active.

The Secretaryship of the Association rotates and is currently the responsibility of the Department of Sociology, Universitat d’Alacant.
