Birgit Blasch , Austrian, works for the European Commission's “Security Research and Development” Unit at DG Enterprise and Industry, acting as the contact point for ESRIF, the European Security Research and Innovation Forum .

In her presentation, she focused on the purpose and objectives of ESRIF, its scope and status, as well as on its working structures, groups and methodology.

Interest in the field of European civil security research has grown significantly in the last four years. The need to foster greater coordination and a shared view of European security needs among various security research players operating at different levels (national, regional, european) and in different fields (civil/ military, public/ private) became increasingly apparent. Moreover, there was a need to develop a mid to long term strategy for security research and innovation. As a result, ESRIF was created in September 2007, as a follow-on to the European Security Research Advisory Board (ESRAB) formed in April 2005.

ESRIF is a voluntary forum aimed at developing and promoting a European civil ‘Joint Security Research and Innovation Agenda' for all European stakeholders. It is composed of 70 people coming from the 27 EU Member States, nine Framework Program 7 Associated Countries, the Commission and 3 EU Agencies (FRONTEX, EUROPOL and the European Defence Agency). In addition approximately 500 people contribute expertise and advice in 11 distinct working groups, covering areas such as security of the citizens; critical infrastructure protection; border security; crisis management; governance and coordination; and CBRNE. Each one of these groups works to identify mid and long term threats and challenges to security, required capabilities and related research requirements.

ESRIF will expire by the end of 2009 when a new Commission will be formed. Until then, the working groups are expected to present mid-term results by autumn 2008 and a final report by autumn 2009.

Charlotte Isaksson speaking on integrating gender perspectives and UNSCR 1325 into peace operations

Appointed Gender Advisor to the EU mission in Congo ( EUFOR RD Congo ) in 2006, Charlotte Isaksson gave a talk on her work of integrating gender perspectives and the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 into peace operations.

Working towards gender mainstreaming in this military operation, Charlotte spoke of the challenges of bridging the gap between the theory and practice of implementing the UNSCR 1325. Meeting resistance from certain military staff who did not understand why she was needed, Charlotte found herself changing and developing her strategies along the way. She stressed the importance of explaining to military staff why it was necessary to integrate gender perspectives, how it would benefit the peace operation and also the need to work towards a good dialogue between the commanders and gender advisors. She talked of many difficulties but also many positive aspects of her work at the mission. Asked by the audience of the achievements during her time in Congo, Charlotte mentioned the positive impact her work had on the mission as there was a much more positive response from the local population when social patrols included women. Also, there was a positive change in the attitudes of the military staff when they saw the benefits and the big effect the gender mainstreaming had on the credibility of their operation as a whole.

Since returning from Congo, Charlotte has been working as Gender Expert and Senior Gender Advisor within the Swedish Armed Forces. She is also the founder and partner of a European gender program called GenderForce, which brings several organisations together in order to highlight gender Issues and implementation of UNSCR 1325/2000 in operations.

In 2006 she received the peer-awarded national ”Doris Olsen Award” for achievements within Gender work.

18 September 2007

WIIS Brussels was delighted to invite Dr. Anne-Marie Le Gloannec, Research Director at CERI in Paris , to present and open a discussion on France in Europe and the World under President Sarkozy.

The election of French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been welcomed by many as a breath of fresh air in France, the European Union and the international scene, but what role is Sarkozy's France going to play in it? France is in need of reform. Five months after the Presidential elections and following the annual Presidential address to the Ambassadorial conference in August, President Sarkozy is energetic, dynamic and unveiling numerous initiatives both domestically and internationally. Dr Gloannec gave insights into whether President Sarkozy is the right man to deliver change for France , and asked whether a coherent foreign policy strategy, including building support for the French position internationally, lay behind the new ideas.

Dr. Le Gloannec tried to answer this and many other questions, giving WIIS a very clear and frank insight on the direction the French President is taking in foreign policy.

On the European dimension, Dr. Le Gloannec highlighted how the compromise on the EU Reform Treaty has been the perfect stage for the French president to show his strongly stated support for the EU. However, his position is not as easy on other matters as shown by his battles with the ECB over too strong a Euro, with EU liberal partners over the "political regulation of globalisation" and with the Commission over competition matters and the poor status of French finances. Yet, his projects for the EU remain of great breadth, starting from its security and defence dimension, which he wants to reinvigorate. He believes Europe has a role to play in shaping a better and fairer world and, more importantly, that France has a role to play in Europe, since there cannot be a strong France without Europe and a strong Europe without France.

Dr Gloannnec discussed continuity in French policies, on Europe and the determination to strengthen the ESDP/defence dimension, on the Franco-German alliance and its likely evolution under President Sarkozy and Chancellor Merkel, and the prospects for genuine rapprochement with NATO. Dr Gloannec also highlighted President Sarkozy's new orientations on global issues, including reviewing EU trade and subsidy policies, reforms to multilateral forums (G8/UN) and taking a tougher stance on relations with Russia and related energy concerns, as well as Iran and the nuclear issue.

A lively discussion followed covering a wide range of issues, including his relations with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, France's role in Chad and Darfur, Sarkozy’s possible contribution to the UN reform and the impact of his economic reforms in France.

Anne-Marie Le Gloannec obtained a doctorate (Doctorat d'Etat) at the Institut d'Etudes Politiques in Paris. From 1997 to 2002, Dr Le Gloannec was Deputy Director of the Centre Marc Bloch in Berlin . Anne-Marie has held numerous teaching posts including at the European Center of the Johns Hopkins University ( Bologna , Italy ), the Institute for Political Studies in Paris and Lille , the Free University in Berlin , and at the Viadrina University in Frankfurt-an-der-Oder. She is a frequent contributor to Le Figaro and is the author of numerous books and articles on international relations.

Nicolas Beger speaking on " Why use the concept of gender in peacebuilding ? "

When the political talk turns to gender issues, the term is usually followed in the next sentence by something in relation to women in conflict. The issues around women as victims, peacebuilders and also spoilers, combatants, and aggressors are crucial, and they merit a lot of attention. However, it is not helpful to continue the conflation of gender and women as a synonym, since it more often than not leads to making the “gender issue” a marginal issue that “women can occupy themselves with” and results in the usual derogation of responsibility for the mainstreaming of gender. The concept of gender in peacebuilding needs to become much more of a concept that aids us in understanding gender related elements of conflict, violence, and conflict resolution as something that concerns women and men equally, that addresses the important elements of masculinity in the prolongation and resolution of conflict, and that is capable of contributing to conflict analysis in its full complexity of understanding gender relations. In his talk, Nicolas Beger will outline what recent feminist theory can offer in terms of a more complex understanding of gender and what that means in terms of changing our approach to talking about women and men in conflict, i.e. what it could mean to use gender as a concept in peacebuilding while maintaining space to talk about the specific situation of women in conflict.

Dr. Nicolas Jonathan Beger is the Director of the European Peace Building Liaison Office. EPLO is the platform of peacebuilding and conflict prevention NGOs, networks, and think tanks in the Europe . Nicolas previously worked as the coordinator of the Civil Society Contact Group, which brings together the platforms of all social, environment, development, culture, women, and human rights NGOs in Europe . Prior to that engagement, he was on the executive board of ILGA-Europe for seven years and has held several teaching positions at universities in Aotearoa/New Zealand, Germany , and the Netherlands . Additionally he is qualified as a trainer in anti-racism and in gender and he worked for the Brandenburg and Berlin police force in that capacity for 14 months. Nicolas holds a BA (hons) and a MA from the University of Canterbury , Christchurch , Aotearoa/New Zealand, in gender studies and a PhD from the Universiteit van Amsterdam, ASCA, in the field of cultural theory and European politics. He has published two books and several articles in the fields of poststructuralist theory, gender/sexuality, European politics, and conflict prevention.

Antje Herrberg, Director for Rapid Response at the Brussels office of Crisis Management Initiative (CMI), gave a talk on “The role of Mediation as a tool for peacebuilding” at Hotel Wielemans www.hotelwielemans.be on 20 March 2007. In front of an audience of over 25, she spoke about the Aceh peace process and CMI's involvement as mediator, the role of non-state actors in mediation, and the aspect of gender in the process.

She gave insights into the particularities of the Aceh peace negotiations, such as the unique setting of the talks and Martti Ahtisaari's mediation strategy. Antje talked about different “generations” of mediators and explained the importance of the Aceh process in not interacting with the media during peace negotiations.

Antje noted a worrying absence of a gender perspective in peace agreements to date and the gender blindness that eventuated in the Aceh peace agreement. She pointed out the urgent need for training on gender and mediation which CMI will continue to address. Last but not least, the phenomena of 80—90% females in CMI's staff was raised and Antje explained the positive reasons for this. The element of need for gender parity in developing better mediation was discussed.

WIIS Brussels would like to thank la Maison l'Europe for their support with providing the Hotel Wielemans venue free of charge.

During the WIIS event, we heard some of the challenges that the women face. We spoke about the possibilities (enthusiasm and networking) and challenges (security and ability) of setting up a WIIS Afghanistan!

Some of the challenges included aspects that we would not think about, such as the difficulty of organising an informal meeting at a venue (questions of the women's security and cultural limitations to have such a gathering of women). The women were very strong about their role in Afghanistan however and WIIS Brussels will stay in contact with them to hear more of their challenges and work and to maintain our now established informal link with them.

9 October 2006

Piritta Asunmaa, deputy head of the Finnish delegation to NATO, opened the WIIS Brussels season by welcoming women to her house to discuss the Finnish presidency of the EU as well as the upcoming NATO Riga summit. She is also a member of WIIS Brussels.

Piritta started by pointing out that the EU of today is quite different than in 1999 when Finland last held the rotating presidency. With 10 more members, intergovernmental decision-making challenges and public opinion in Europe increasingly skeptical, the EU has now a different dynamic and faces new challenges. She outlined some of the priorities of the Finnish presidency which include the future of EU (constitutional crisis and enlargement), external relations (especially Russia), improving competitiveness and justice and home affairs. From the Finnish perspective, it is equally important to improve transparency, decision-making, and the efficient running of the union – above all, speaking with one voice towards the outside world.

Closer to her daily work, Piritta highlighted some of the aspects coming up at the NATO Riga summit in November. Although the summit will focus on ‘global partnerships', partner countries such as Finland have not been invited. The idea behind the recent proposal by US and UK is to extend NATO's partnership towards more global outreach including Japan and Australia. Finland contributes significantly to NATO operations and would welcome a more cooperative agreement in crisis management.

A lively discussion followed covering a wide range of issues, including relations with Russia, energy policy, NATO-EU relations, Finland's role in peacekeeping, NATO's role in ‘nation-building', Finland's relationship with NATO and the debate on membership and the role of small states in the EU. The evening ended with an open and informal debate on women working in institutions such as NATO and the security industry and whether women have a different “softer” approach when it comes to communication and negotiation.

28 June 2006

Ambassador Swanee Hunt, founder and chair of the Initiative for Inclusive Security and director of the women and public policy program at Harvard's Kennedy school of government, gave a motivational talk to WIIS Brussels on her entry into the world of diplomacy and negotiation and her research into the role of women in the peace process.

Ambassador hunt began her talk by walking though her own experience, explaining that our career paths are never clearly defined. Ambassador hunt spent the first half of her career working on a wide variety of issues spanning education, health care and social inclusion. After working on the Clinton administration's transition team, she became us ambassador to Austria – head of a mission of 500 employees, including the United States' operations in the Balkans, and overseeing relations with such institutions as the once.

Ambassador hunt hosted negotiations and international symposia focussing on securing peace in the Balkans, with particular attention given to the role of Bosnian women in the peace process. Ambassador hunt personally interviewed scores of women in the region for her book this was not our war: Bosnian women reclaiming the peace, published in 2004. She has since examined women's peacemaking abilities around the world, citing case studies in Rwanda, Colombia, the DRC, Israel/Palestine and Sudan, and stresses that women remain a largely untapped yet essential resource in the peace process. Ambassador hunt outlined techniques used in efforts to increase women's involving in crisis management and peacebuilding and reflected on percentages of female electives in several elections around the globe.

Joanna Nathan, crisis group's Afghanistan senior analyst on 'Afghanistan and the role of women in the newly formed afghan parliament'

Joanna Nathan joined crisis group in may 2005. She previously worked for the institute of war and peace reporting, editing for their central Asian news service and training journalists in Kabul and Mazar-e Sharif throughout 2003 and 2004. This included helping to oversee a daily news service involving 40 local reporters covering Afghanistan's constitutional Loya Jirga. She had previously written on south Asia for three years for a variety of British publications including the times of London after working for CNN's Europe and Middle Eastern bureau in London.

Joanna Nathan shared with the participants her experience with the setting up of the new afghan parliament.   She focused on the role of women in this process who are quite well represented by international standards. In spite of the improvement of women's position in afghan society, which was reflected in the number of woman candidates in the previous elections who received votes, there were nonetheless few women present at the voting stations. Instead, their participation was through proxy votes. Also, there is not a single woman in the executive. Joanna talked about the cumbersome process of establishing parliamentary groups rather than parties, which do not exist in Afghanistan, as well as about the overly strong role of president Karzai.

She also touched on the media landscape in Afghanistan, the problem of drugs trafficking and the role of women in the latter. Joanna also described her own living conditions and how sometimes it can be more challenging to spend all one's time with the same limited number of internationals than to deal with the insufficient security situation in the country

Carmela Shamir, deputy Israeli ambassador on 'Israel and the regional situation post-elections'

Carmela Shamir, deputy head at the embassy of Israel in Belgium, provided a framework of analysis on the regional developments in the Israeli-Palestine situation. She explained that the regional and global context of the January Palestinian election has to be understood as part of the rise of radical reform. This also explains the rise of Hamas and what is happening in the Arab/Muslim world.   The region is under a vacuum filled by a rise of radical Muslim forces.

14 March 2006

Stephanie Blair, Anna Reece and Ilana Bet-el   on 'Women working in conflict: voices from the field'    three WIIS Brussels members talked about their experience on the ground in the Balkans.

 ( from the left to the right: Stephanie Blair, Anna Reece and Ilana Bet-el)

Stephanie Blair is a doctoral candidate in the war studies department, King's College London. Her experience in the Balkans witnessed the evolution of the conflict resolution mechanisms in Kosovo, first as part of the OSCE KVM and then of UNMIK.

Anna Reece is a lawyer specialised in refugee issues. Her experience in the Balkans includes working for the UNHCR, the office of the high representative in Bosnia, and the council of Europe .

Ilana Bet-el is a strategic advisor, specialising in defence and security. During her time in the Balkans she served in the UN missions UNPROFOR and UNMIBH, and she was senior advisor on the Balkans in the UN Department of Political Affairs (DPA).

The three covered a wide variety of issues ranging from recruitment and training to the challenges and joys of working in the field. All pointed out the difficult living and working conditions in a conflict-situation, but also the reward from a job with more tangible results than in headquarters. They described the need to improvise when working in unfamiliar areas or under ill-defined mandates. They explained the often delicate balance between their role and how it was perceived by the locals. They also gave examples of the fact that their role as women sometimes made them more vulnerable in a mostly male-environment, but on occasion this also proved to be an advantage. Finally, they said that the main characteristics required for being able to work in the field were common sense and not being a perfectionist.

Sidney Jones on 'Some thoughts on women and terrorism'

Sidney Jones, a 20-year veteran of the human rights and conflict resolution sectors, is the south East Asia project director for international crisis group. Her professional accomplishments include Indonesia-Philippines researcher with amnesty international and Asia director for human rights watch.

Ms. Jones' presentation focused on two primary themes: a) the role of women in the Jemaah Islamiyah terrorist organization and b) the absence of women working in the counter terrorism/professional security arenas.

She described how women's commercial trading activities in south east Asia's garment production industry financially buttress terrorism operations. Ms. Jones also discussed the phenomenon of women as suicide bombers in Chechnya and the Palestinian authority. She explained that in Chechnya, the wives of those killed in the battles for independence are, at times, the widows of Chechen rebels killed in violent skirmishes with Russian security forces. However, when examining the Palestinian female suicide bombers phenomenon, experts are often at a loss in understanding the rationale driving their actions. In her discussion of the security profession, ms. Jones explained that despite the significant increase of private sector security organizations providing services to multinational organizations, women are poorly represented in these security-related organizations. The security sector remains another avenue for women to make their mark.

24 January 2006

Ana-Maria Gomes MEP on 'European conflict mitigation in practice: perspectives on experience in sudan and ethopia'.

Ana-Maria Gomes, a 24-year career diplomat served as a portuguese ambassador to indonesia and the UN, is a member of the European Parliament and vice-chairwoman of the EP sub-committee on Security and Defence (SEDE).

14 November 2003

Judy Dempsey, diplomatic correspondent of the Financial Times.

Judy Dempsey kicked off the debate with a few remarks on the US and Europe's defense policies, arguing that the traditional transatlantic partnership is dead and that the EU needs to define a stronger defense and security role for itself in the world. The following discussion revealed that transatlantic relations are clearly at a crossroads and that the US and Europe cannot possibly move into the next phase before leaving the old structures of the relationship behind. There is still an open question whether the EU is ready to assume more military responsibility.

The policy debates still revolve around whether there is a need for an EU army and, if so, how to structure it and how to define priorities in spending. Participants all agreed that while certain policy elites are integrally involved in shaping and defining old and new security and defense actions and needs, the general public is often left in the dark concerning real security threats, military actions and actual spending.
