Translated to Portuguese
Abstract:
This is a book about modern wars in fragile state, one of the most
important issues in the international system, and how the media,
the academic and non-governmental organizations understand, act
towards, interact among them and provide knowledge about there
armed conflicts. As an initiative of the Thematic Network on
Humanitarian Development Studies, representatives of three sectors
involved with information and indirect and direct production of
knowledge were invited to discuss in a Seminar at the Transnational
Institute in Amsterdam (19-22 April 2001). The aim of the Seminar
was to improve ways of understanding modern wars in order to
cooperate among the three sectors (academia, journalism and
NGOs), and to explore means of collaboration in the international
community and in the democratic industrial societies to find the
ways for peace and just development in the affected societies.

Before Emergency: Conflict Prevention and the Media.
Bilbao. Universidad de Deusto.
Abstract:
This book is about two prominent issues: conflict prevention, and
the media. Conflict prevention is a challenging concept for the
media because journalists normally work on current affairs:
reporting what is going on now, not trying to change the course
of events in the medium or long term. However, the media can
also play a determinant role in conflict prevention.
