Der Ukraine-Krieg erschwert die Entwicklungszusammenarbeit. Aber in dem Feld ändert sich ohnehin vieles, sagt Politikwissenschaftler Jörn Grävingholt in einem Interview mit der TAZ.

IPI & Dallaire Institute Host Workshop on Gender, Childhood, and Community Engagement

From May 3-5, IPI’s Women, Peace and Security Program co-hosted a three-day workshop with the Dallaire Institute for Children, Peace and Security. The workshop, titled “Gender, Childhood, and Community Engagement in Peacekeeping,” took place at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC) in Accra, Ghana.

Community engagement is essential for UN peacekeeping missions; however, practical engagement in peacekeeping missions must include understanding the gendered and aged dimensions of peacekeeping practices. Effective community engagement requires paying particular attention to how gender and age affect the power structures inherent in peacekeeping settings. Thus, gender and age sit as cross-cutting themes that enhance engagement and therefore better peacekeeping practices.

The “Gender, Childhood, and Community Engagement in Peacekeeping,” workshop brought together both researchers and practitioners involved in the vital work of community engagement in UN peacekeeping. Participants presented their current work and discussed theoretical, methodological, and practical perspectives. Activities included both the presentation of current work, as well as roundtable discussions between researchers and practitioners to address both policy and practical implications. From the panels and discussions, recommendations arose for both researchers and practitioners to implement into their current work.

Key findings from the workshop will be summarized in a report co-published by IPI and the Dallaire Institute and will be available on IPI’s website.

30 years with common but differentiated responsibility, why do we need it ever more today?

The principle of “common but differentiated responsibility” (CBDR), formalized at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro, is ultimately pertaining to the matter of climate justice. Its basic meaning is first and foremost a “shared” moral responsibility between different groups of countries to address global climate change, nevertheless the proportions of such responsibility are differentiated. CBDR’s underlying concepts of fairness and equity has also been manifested in other global governance architectures than just the climate. The World Trade Organization, for example, knows the principle of “special and differential treatment” for developing and least-developed countries. The CBDR principle has gone through “ups and downs” in the past 30 years and the world has further evolved. While it is entering the fourth decade, it still remains relevant today.

Marcel Fratzscher: „Eine Leitzinserhöhung ist für die USA richtig, für den Euroraum aber zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt ein Fehler“

Als Reaktion auf die hohe Inflation hat die US-Notenbank Fed die Leitzinsen erhöht. Diesen Schritt und ob das auch für die Europäische Zentralbank (EZB) der richtige Weg wäre, kommentiert Marcel Fratzscher, Präsident des Deutschen Instituts für Wirtschaftsforschung (DIW Berlin), wie folgt:

-->Dass die US-amerikanische Notenbank den Leitzins erhöht, ist richtig und überfällig. Für die EZB wäre eine Zinserhöhung zu diesem Zeitpunkt jedoch ein Fehler. Die amerikanische und die europäische Wirtschaft befinden sich in völlig unterschiedlichen Situationen. Auch dank einer stark expansiven Finanzpolitik haben sich die USA deutlich schneller als Deutschland und Europa von der Pandemie erholt. Zudem trifft der Krieg gegen die Ukraine die europäische Wirtschaft um ein Vielfaches stärker als die amerikanische. Mit jeder Woche, die der Krieg andauert, wächst der wirtschaftliche Schaden für Europa. Ein Lieferstopp oder ein Embargo werden immer wahrscheinlicher. Solche Beschränkungen würden die europäische Wirtschaft in den kommenden beiden Jahren in eine Rezession treiben. In dieser Situation dürfte die EZB gezwungen sein, ihren Kurs der expansiven Geldpolitik nicht nur fortzusetzen, sondern nochmals zu verstärken.

Ein starker Zinsanstieg der EZB in den kommenden Monaten würde wirtschaftlich mehr schaden als nutzen. Eine Zinserhöhung dürfte wenig an der hohen Inflation ändern, da diese in Europa anders als in den USA vor allem durch höhere Energiepreise und Nahrungsmittelpreise getrieben wird. Ein starker Zinsanstieg würde dagegen die Wirtschaft bremsen und Unternehmen, die ohnehin schon wegen höherer Kosten zu kämpfen haben, nochmals schwächen. Auch für Beschäftigte würde ein zu starker Zinsanstieg Probleme verursachen, etwa wenn Unternehmen Arbeitskräfte entlassen oder keine neuen einstellen können. Die Sparerinnen und Sparer dürften sich zwar über geringfügig höhere Zinsen auf dem Sparbuch freuen, sie könnten aber gleichzeitig durch niedrigere Arbeitseinkommen leiden.

Geringe Zinserhöhungen der EZB im zweiten Halbjahr 2022 und ein Ende des Anleihenkaufprogramms halte ich hingegen für wünschenswert und richtig. Wir dürfen jedoch das Risiko einer Eskalation des Kriegs und eines Explodierens der wirtschaftlichen Kosten nicht weiter unterschätzen. In einem solchen Fall müsste die EZB dann wohl wieder einen Kurswechsel vollziehen, um noch größeren wirtschaftlichen Schaden zu verhindern.
