Die Bundesregierung ist dabei, eine nationale Sicherheitsstrategie zu entwickeln. Die Beratungen mit zivilgesellschaftlichen und staatlichen Organisationen finden in diesen Wochen statt. Der PRIF-Blog von Peace Research Institute (PRIF) und Leibniz Institut Hessische Friedens- und Konfliktforschung (HSFK) greift das Thema in einer Blogserie auf.

Die Bundesregierung möchte bis spätestens Anfang nächsten Jahres die erste deutsche nationale Sicherheitsstrategie entwickeln. Schon im Koalitionsvertrag hatte die Ampelkoalition die Strategie angekündigt – mehrere Monate vor Beginn des russischen Angriffskriegs auf die Ukraine. Die fundamental neue Situation in der europäischen Sicherheitsarchitektur und die Ankündigungen des Kanzlers zur sicherheitspolitischen „Zeitenwende“ stellten die Strategie noch einmal in einen neuen Kontext. Gleichzeitig verschaffen sie dem Prozess mehr Aufmerksamkeit. Click here for the full text and the blog series.

“Security is more than just military strength”: Catholic Responses to Armament and Crisis

The Katholikentag in Würzburg has shown that peace, security and development go hand in hand. In this interview, Dorothee Klüppel, a member of FriEnt’s Steering Committee and Head of the Africa/Middle East Department at Misereor, explains why security is more than just military strength, why justice, democracy and international cooperation are key prerequisites for sustainable peace and what special role church actors play in this – particularly in times of rearmament and geopolitical tensions.
