The Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus: Solving Rubik’s Cube in Policy and Practice

Abstract

Historically, the 20’s of each of the last centuries proved to be challenging years, where moments of historical opportunities were followed by daunting global difficulties. The 20’s of this 21^st Century clearly followed the same historical destiny, with still an uncertain ending. Even before the Covid-19 pandemic, the geopolitical, economic, social and environmental complexities of today’s world appeared as inter-connected as ever before. The aim of this paper is to analyze most discussed nexuses in the international policy-making space, the so called “Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus” or “Triple-Nexus”, referred to the gradual coordination, cooperation, integration and interaction of humanitarian, development and peace actions and actors at all levels.
