Wie gerecht ist der „gerechte Frieden“?
Gender as a void in church peace policy: Church peace policy is seen as a beacon of hope in conflicts where political actors have hardly any solutions to offer. The Holy See in particular has a dual function as an ecclesiastical and political actor, which has earned it respect in the context of international relations. The socio-ethical concept of "just peace" developed since the end of the Cold War questions political, economic and military interests and places human dignity and the common good at the centre of conflict transformation. 9th Herlinde Pissarek-Hudelist Lecture with Prof Dr Regina Elsner, University of Münster. Lecture in German.
