“…Second, our case-based analysis suggests expanding previous notions of the provisions triggering costincreasing mechanisms to also encompass some transitional justice measures, as well as education reform (see also Shah 2019). As mentioned, most of the provisions examined here may mitigate fear or increase the costs of violence depending on the specific form they take in the peace accord.…”

Examining 50 intra-state peace processes (1989)(1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006) through fsQCA, we identify three clusters of peace agreements being consistently associated with successful war-to peace transitions: 'an international approach', 'a transitional justice approach', and 'a domestic approach'. Probing these configurations at the case level shows that successful peace processes typically include packages of provisions which trigger both cost-increasing and fear-reducing mechanisms; that transitional justice provisions and education reform can trigger cost-increasing mechanisms; and that territorial selfgovernance can substitute effectively foreign involvement in separatist conflicts.

“…And as a result of the Education Cannot Wait initiative, a dedicated funding mechanism has been established in the global education architecture. However, the eld of education in emergencies has been criticized for its lack of engagement in broader critical education theories (Novelli, 2019;Brun and Shuayb, 2020) and for reproducing the status quo rather than advancing policy and practice for social transformation (Shah, Paulson and Couch, 2020). Hence, we argue that the analytical lenses presented in this paper are also relevant in educational planning, policies and practice in the eld of education in emergencies.…”

Reimagining Education: The International Science and Evidence Based Education Assessment

T his chapter explores the nexus between education and con ict, positioning education as a contested domain that shapes, and is shaped by, a broad range of social, political, economic and cultural dynamics in con ict-a ected societies. On the one hand, violent con icts and structural violence have detrimental e ects on educational processes and outcomes. On the other hand, education itself can (re)produce structural violence in society. Bringing together the elds of social science and cognitive neuroscience, this chapter provides a multi-faceted lens through which to address the challenges of education in di erent con ict contexts from around the world, highlighting that the search for a collective peaceful future is complex.

“…One suggestion is to focus on resilience to natural disasters to create stronger societies in times of crisis through education and capacity building (Shah, Paulson & Couch 2020). Disasters or crises can play an important role in resource management insofar as they make us consider other aspects of disaster response such as learning, adapting, and renewal (Berkes, Colding & Folke 2003).…”

Community engagement and involvement is an essential component of managing and responding to disasters. In Japan, greater community involvement and increased participation of its citizens has been encouraged through the machizukuri initiative. The machizukuri are local community councils that played a pivotal role in the recovery efforts following the Tōhoku Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami (GETET) that devastated much of northern Japan in 2011. However, their role in those efforts is not well understood.Thus, the aim of this study was to better understand the role and impact of local communities in responding to and recovering from disasters through examining the role of the machizukuri following the GEJET. An exploratory approach was adopted, and semi-structured interviews were undertaken with eight key decision-makers involved in recovery efforts. Key themes were identified including the overwhelming nature of the GEJET for which Japan was unprepared, and while the central government enacted their disaster management plans, responses were slow and failed to address local priorities. To compensate, the local community and machizukuri assisted and successfully united the local community to fill a gap left by the centralized governments’ approach. It is an example of an effective bottom-up approach to address a critical issue. However, the efforts were hindered by a lack of coordination between the various government bodies and aid organisations as well as communication failures that prevented a more coherent response. Recommendations were made to assist countries to remediate these shortcomings and respond more effectively to disasters.
