Understanding conflict. Building peace. International Alert is an independent peacebuilding organisation working in over 20 countries and territories around the world. Our dual approach involves working directly with people affected by violent conflict as well as at government, EU and UN levels to shape both policy and practice in building sustainable peace. International Alert was established in 1986 by a group of human rights advocates led by the former Secretary General of Amnesty International, Martin Ennals, in response to growing concerns expressed by those working in international development agencies, human rights organisations and those involved in the issues of ethnic conflict and genocide. This group recognised that the denial of human rights often led to internal armed conflicts which, in turn, further undermined efforts to protect individual and collective human rights and to promote sustainable development.

The GAC was created at the historic Afrikans and Afrikan Descendants World Conference Against Racism (AAD WCAR) held in Bridgetown, Barbados (2002). The Global Afrikan Congress is dedicated to the ongoing Reparations struggle. The immediate priorities, strategies and recommendations on how to address the specific social, economic and political problems were addressed and are contained in our premier document, the Bridgetown Protocol.

This organization presently works with other partnering Black communities for the benefit of the global Afrikan community. The goal of this organization and its partners if the compensation for the enslavement and inhuman treatment of Afrikans and their descendants, and other less obvious effects of colonial domination and its attendant racism. Chattel slavery, the enslavement and torture of Afrikans and their children is, always was, and always will be a Crime Against Humanity. This event is indeed the worst crime in all of human history.

SSWC was founded in 1992 by a group of Somali women from all sections of the community, as an urgent imperative to address the needs of Somalia’s women and children, regardless of ethnic and geopolitical divisions. Based in Kenya, they work as a non-governmental humanitarian and development organisation with a focus on improving women’s rights and promoting their participation in building peace. They run training workshops on Conflict Management as well as organising an annual literacy programme. In addition, they provide practical support to some of the country’s most vulnerable and marginalised women through rights awareness workshops and campaigns to end Female Genital Mutilation and early and forced marriage. Working with disadvantaged and displaced women, SSWC’s programme of community rehabilitation and income generating projects helps women move out poverty and begin to play a full and active part in their own lives and that of their communities and country.

The International Fellowship of Reconciliation (IFOR) believes that without peace, development is impossible, and without women, neither peace nor development can take place.

The International Political Economy Program: The University of Puget Sound is a leading center for undergraduate study of International Political Economy. We invite you to explore these web links and learn more about our courses and programs and the activities of our students, alumni and faculty. You can always return to this main page by clicking on the IPE beaver logo.

The International Political Economy Program offers a multidisciplinary approach to the study of modern society.

International Political Economy encourages the integrated analysis of social problems and issues, using tools and methods of political science, economics, and sociology as informed by an understanding of history and tempered by appreciation of culture and cultural differences.

IPE at the University of Puget Sound stresses the appreciation of competing theoretical perspectives, the consideration of multiple and over-lapping economic, political, and social linkages between and among global actors and events, and the application of this powerful framework to the analysis of a wide range of issues. IPE students necessarily learn to consider issues broadly, to see how issues and problems are interconnected, and to engage in critical and creative thinking.
