No business without enemies: War and the arms trade

The arms trade is one of the world’s most successful corporate enterprises. Not only has it created an economic system that grows regardless, it has normalised war and security responses to every social crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed how ineffective the armed forces are in dealing with a global crisis. They divert resources and distort our response. The pandemic...

Report 38: Violence, security and peace building in the city

It is in the cities where most of the world's citizenship is concentrated, 55%, and at the same time, it is the space where most conflicts are settled. Conflicts are directly related to the commodification of the city, the city as a business; and the diversity and plurality of the people who live in urban conurbations. It is then the confrontation...

Security policies for peace. Another security is possible and necessary

Most states have at their disposal trained armies, ready to be used whenever and however it is necessary.

Dos noticias sobre desalojos llenan las noticias de los últimos días. Se desalojan personas por orden judicial o política. Pero se desaloja como verbo transitivo, es decir, el que significa sacar una persona del lugar donde estaba alojada, como lo define la Enciclopedia Catalana, que, curiosamente, utiliza como ejemplo uno que no podía venir más al caso: "Desalojar el enemigo de...
