Emerging trends in transnational security: from the rise of non-state actors to force privatization.
[IT] Indubbiamente il 2020 verrà ricordato come l’anno della pandemia globale, dei confinamenti e dello “stato di eccezione”. L’anno che sta per concludersi, però, è stato caratterizzato anche da importanti eventi politici, in primis le elezioni presidenziali negli Stati Uniti d’America. Ed è proprio dagli Stati Uniti che parte questo numero di Human Security. Se la vittoria di Joe Biden sembra far intravedere la “fine dell’era Trump” e, intuitivamente, nuova linfa per la promozione dell’ordine liberale a livello globale, nel suo articolo Gabriele Natalizia – docente di Scienza Politica e ricercatore presso la Sapienza Università di Roma – traccia la storia della risposta statunitense al “dilemma della democrazia” dalla Guerra fredda a oggi, delineando una soluzione di continuità tutt’altro che scontata nell’approccio strategico delle Amministrazioni Obama, Trump e, con tutta probabilità, Biden.
A functioning and inclusive political settlement rather than institutional capacity narrowly conceived is necessary for building legitimacy across society for any new ‘post-conflict’ dispensation.

Ebola created mental barriers between contaminated and ‘clean’ regions that raised national security concerns. These barriers stripped people of their identity – they became viruses themselves – and of their social ties, keeping families and communities apart.
Behind well-established and fixed peacebuilding ‘models’ there always lies the danger of normativity and of a lack of flexibility. Rather than a model, it seems much more promising to foreground a frame within which to design more reflexive, adaptative and respectful peacebuilding strategies.
The T.note n.91 "Cities in a Crisis: COVID-19 and Climate-Fragility Risks in urban environments" was shared by the Climate Diplomacy initiative.
State-centric frameworks are problematic in building strong and just institutions in war-torn societies.
Building back better requires integrated approaches that address the impacts of COVID-19 across sectors, including health, environment, climate and urban planning.
For understandable reasons, we often focus on immediate problems. But we risk overlooking important parts of the evidential trail if we do not try to understand the long-term processes that account for present-day circumstances.
Peacebuilding requires long-term and sustained efforts at all levels, and in some cases may have been complicated by the ways in which armed groups have strengthened their position through their response to the pandemic.
