Culture of peace and environmental governance as public and inter-institutional policies as a paradigm shift in higher education institutions

Abstract

The issue of peace is constantly being discussed, as an effective instrument within a society, to respond to the different events or conflicts that arise both at the regional or local, state, national, and even international levels; but seldom, it has been specified in terms of the discourse and analysis that it intends to account for in order to be able to implement it and in its ultimate purpose, to achieve it; This is done through the creation of a set of public, private and social policies and strategies that achieve this goal. Therefore, in this document, the essential dimensions of Governance and Sustainable Development will be addressed, with a specific focus on environmental and ecological topics, through the systematic study of the main global and national normative systems to achieve the objectives of the Formative and Integral Culture of Peace. From the point of view of public policies, since the government entity is the one legitimized to take actions aimed at solving common problems of its inhabitants, and whose incidence is reflected in the design of educational policies and institutions, it is transversal in the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).
