Kiitollisena ja innostuneena odotan tulevaa päätoimittajakautta Kosmopolis-lehdessä aivan parhaiden päätoimittajakollegoiden kanssa. Tässä hieman ajatuksiani tulevasta www.cmcfinland.fi/cmcn-jyrki-r...
"Senior officers from some 30 countries across Europe and beyond were due to meet Thursday at a military headquarters on the outskirts of London to flesh out plans for an international peacekeeping force for Ukraine."

This is a very clear and helpful piece by @cdeconing.bsky.social for understanding the techical elements of a ceasefire and pointing the key factors behind a successful ceasefire. theglobalobservatory.org/2025/03/what...
Tetiana Kyselova, who keynoted a @cmcfinland.bsky.social seminar on civil society and crisis management last fall, writes about the dangers of repeating Minsk mistakes together w/ Yuna Potomkina in @foreignaffairs.com
Interesting study, pointing that any deal that would endanger the Ukrainian sovereignty would not be accepted by the Ukrainians, even when measured against high casualties. Unjust peace would therefore not end the war but bring insurgency www.foreignaffairs.com/russia/ukrai...

Oli kiinnostavaa olla mukana tässä hankkeessa, joka osoitti konkreettisesti sisäisen ja ulkoisen turvallisuuden linkittymisen sekä kriisinhallintaosallistumisen potentiaalin tukea kotimaan varautumista. www.sweco.fi/ajankohtaist...

Tänään keskustellaan Eurooppasalissa vaalitarkkailusta rapautuvan demokratian maailmassa. Demokratiaindikaattoreiden näyttäessä punaista ja vaalien kiistämisen lisääntyessä niiden tarkkailu on entistä tärkeämpää. Järjestäjinä @demofinland.bsky.social ja @cmcfinland.bsky.social
I spent most of the week in a virtual country called Carana, mentoring a joint peace mediation exercise by the students from the Finnish National Defence University and Tampere University. Like a fellow mentor put it, we learned as much as the students.
incredible things are happening on the federal employee subreddit
Excellent keynote by Renata Dwan on the Peacemaking in the New World Order -seminar. Few takeaways: When multilateralism is stuck, give room to minilateralism and ad hoc -coalitions, also embracing partial agreements, noting the dangers of forces comprehensiveness (pushing early elections etc).
Heading to Imatra for the Finnish International Studies Association (FISA) triennal, where we have a panel focusing on (EU) #crisismanagement. fisa.fi/uutiset/fisa... @cmcfinland.bsky.social @fiia-upi.bsky.social

Absolutely agree with this. #electionobservation is currently too much focused on the technical and should be brought to cope with modern day challenges. www.politico.eu/article/kaja...

Viestimme EU:n uusille komissaareille SITRAn #EUjohtaminen -kurssin päätöspäivänä. Tämän laatiminen oli vielä viimeinen oppitunti kantojen yhteensovittamisesta 😊 www.sitra.fi/artikkelit/e...
Lot of discussion on the EU response to developments in Syria. Might be a good time to revisit this report from a few years back, comparing approaches in Iraq and Syria, including #CSDP deployment…
A new CMC Finland Working Paper is out! It discusses the complex relationship between #CivilianCrisisManagement and promoting transitional justice in fragile contexts and post-conflict environments.

Putin isn't fighting just for territory in Ukraine, and any "peace plan" that fails to understand his goals will fail

Very interesting closing plenary with radical ideas such as is supporting local cso’s evolved into western cherry picking based on darling agendas, such as 1325 and neglecting the focus on democratic state as a whole.
First panel I’ve ever attended featuring #AI participants
Professor Swati Parashar keynoting the 2nd Tampere Peace Day. Excellent points among others on deconstructing the critic of liberal peace (also w/ western bias) and on whose peace we talk about and by whom.
🗣️How can #peaceoperations support national ownership in #peacebuilding, with a stronger #Hum-Dev-Peace Nexus?
☑️1 of 3 tracks we'll explore further at
#CAF24Berlin, 3-4 Dec.
