Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR): Which role for the BRICS countries and other emerging donors?

On August 31 at 7 p.m., IRI/PUC-Rio’s Professional Masters in Analysis and Management of International Politics (MAPI) and the Global South Unit for Meditation (GSUM) invite you to the Colloquium “Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR): Which role for the BRICS countries and other emerging donors?”, to be delivered by Prof. Alpaslan Özerdem, from George Mason University.

The Colloquium is part of a broader debate on the role of emerging States and donors in the field of security, humanitarian aid and the promotion of development. What differences guide the conception and action of these new actors in relation to the practices institutionalized by convencional donors? What role can emerging States and groups play for the governance and transformation of armed conflicts in the current context of the crisis of multilateralism?

The Colloquium will be discussed by Prof. Monica Herz (GSUM/IRI-PUC-Rio) and chaired by Prof. Maíra Siman (GSUM/IRI-PUC-Rio). The event will be held at the BRICS Policy Center (Rua das Laranjeiras 307, 3rd floor) and will be conducted in English, without simultaneous translation.
