Purpose
This paper aims to analyze a decolonized peace with gender perspective. Liberal democracies had consolidated on conquest, slavery, racism, sexism, colonialism, raw material extraction and female exploitation. Additional burdens came from neoliberal globalization with the massive burning of fossil oil, changing the Earth's history from the Holocene toward the Anthropocene. Multiple nexus between the human and environmental system requires an epistemology from the Global South. The paper explores alternative peace paradigms enabling poor and exploited people to overcome the destructive outcomes of patriarchal violence and extractivism. Regionally and locally, they are experimenting with just, safe, equal and sustainable alternatives of free societies.


Design/methodology/approach
The nexus approach focuses on system efficiency, internal and external feedbacks and allows decision-making processes with stronger cross-sectoral coordination and multi-level governance. It includes the understanding of the policy agenda and the political actors at different levels, explaining the discrimination of gender from local to global. The analysis establishes complex relations between theory and political actions, due that all actions are inherently mediated by gender. A key focus is a relationship and the outcomes of policies, where communication and collaboration at the local level grant efficient peaceful resource management with gender equity.


Findings
An engendered-sustainable peace approach is culturally decentralized and may offer alternatives to the ongoing destruction process of neoliberal corporatism and violence. Drastic systemic change requires massive changes from bottom-up and top-down before 2030–2050. Global solidarity among all excluded people, especially women and girls, promotes from childhood an engendered-sustainable peace-building process, where positive feedbacks may reduce the tipping points on Earth and among humankind. Engendered-sustainable peace can mitigate the upcoming conflicts and catastrophes, limiting the negative feedbacks from abusive, selfish and destructive corporations. A greater self-regulating sustainable system with a HUGE-security could promote a decolonized, engendered and sustainable peace for everybody.


Research limitations/implications
The interconnected risks are cascading across different domains, where systemic challenges have intensified conflicts and violence, due to uncertainty, instability and fragility. Cascading effects not only demand prevention for sudden disruptions (hurricanes, floods) but also for slow-ongoing processes (drought, sea-level rise, lack of water availability, etc.), which are equally or more disruptive. Women suffer differently from disasters and are prone to greater impacts on their life and livelihood. An engendered peace is limited by the deep engrained patriarchal system. Only a culture of peace with gender recognition may grant future peace and also the sustainable care of ecosystems.


Practical implications
The Global South is exploring alternative ways to overcome the present violent and destructive globalization by promoting deep engrained indigenous values of Aymaras' living well, the shell model of commanding by obeying of the Zapatistas or Bhutan's Happiness Index. Globally, critical women and men are promoting subsistence agriculture, solidarity or gift economy, where local efforts are restoring the equilibrium between humans and nature. An engendered-sustainable peace is limiting the destructive impacts of the Anthropocene, climate change and ongoing pandemics.


Social implications
An engendered-sustainable peace is culturally decentralized and offers alternatives to the ongoing destruction process of neoliberal corporatism, climate change and violence. The text explores how to overcome the present hybrid warfare with alternative HUGE security and peace from the bottom-up. Regional reinforcement of food security, safe water management, local jobs and a concordian economy for the most vulnerable may change the present exploitation of nature and humankind. Growing solidarity with people affected by disasters is empowering women and girls and dismantling from the bottom-up, the dominant structures of violence and exploitation.


Originality/value
The military-industrial-scientific corporate complex and the exploitation of women, men and natural resources, based on patriarchy, has produced climate change, poverty and global pandemics with millions of unnecessary deaths and suffering. A doughnut engendered peace looking from the outside and inside of the system of globalization and environmental destruction proposes to overcome the growth addiction by a growth agnostic society. Engendered peace explores alternative and sustainable values that go beyond the dominant technological changes. It includes a culturally, politically and institutionally ingrained model where everybody is a participant, reinforcing an engendered-sustainable peace and security for everybody.

AbstractThis article analyzes the foundation of the Latin America Council of Peace Research (CLAIP in Spanish) in 1977 within the complex geopolitical conditions of military coups, lack of democracy, political refugees, Operation Condor, and economic crises. Globally, the geopolitical environment was equally complex with the Vietnam War, Watergate scandal, the School of the America's training militaries in torture, and the rise of the Taliban from the Soviet conflict in Afghanistan. In these adverse conditions, peace research and negotiation of conflicts were crucial. CLAIP developed to meet these needs over a five‐phase process of consolidation: 1. Foundational; 2. Expansion toward whole Latin America; 3. Fragmentation and specialization of peace research; 4. Development of hybrid and amalgam peace theories, and 5. The emergence of different regional approaches focusing also on gender perspective. This convergence has yielded more holistic paradigms that address the multifaceted threats to positive peace posed by the global response to COVID‐19. The article explores the potential for an integrated human, gender, and environmental, an engendered peace paradigm—called the HUGE model—to guarantee even the most marginalized women and girls a peaceful and secure future development in the subcontinent—even in the aftermath of the pandemic.

This analysis links the existing violence in Latin America with the imposed development model, which has deteriorated the well-being of the majority of people and their human health. The implementation of this model has contributed to food insecurity, polluted pristine waters, destroyed jungles and forests, and forced millions of people to leave their homes due to socioeconomic crises, poverty, public insecurity, climate change and associated disasters. From an engendered and sustainable peace and security perspective the reference object of territory and national sovereignty may be changed from the traditional political-military conception that often resulted in wars, crises, misery and permanent conflicts. From an engendered and sustainable peace and security approach based on equality and sustainability, threats are no longer caused by other countries and their weapons, but from the dominant patriarchal system that has structurally developed physical violence, exploitation, discrimination and inequality. This text offers both a framework for a systemic analysis of socio-environmental conditions and conflicts; and suggests concrete actions that promote equality, equity, solidarity, environmental sustainability and nonviolent conflict resolution within a gift economy or economy of solidarity in a diverse and sustainable world. ; El análisis de este artículo relaciona la violencia existente en América Latina con el modelo de desarrollo impuesto, que ha deteriorado el bienestar de las mayorías y su salud humana. El desarrollo de este modelo ha creado inseguridad alimentaria, contaminado aguas prístinas, destruido selvas y bosques y ha forzado a millones de personas a abandonar su hogar por las crisis socioeconómicas, la pobreza, la inseguridad pública, el cambio climático y los desastres asociados. Dese una perspectiva de una paz y seguridad engendradas y sustentables el objeto de referencia se puede cambiar del territorio y la soberanía nacional, propia de los conceptos tradicionales político-militares que han resultado en el mundo global en guerras, crisis, miseria y conflictos permanentes. Dese un acercamiento de paz y seguridad engendradas y sustentables, basadas en igualdad y la sustentabilidad, amenazas ya no se causan por otros países y sus armas, sino por el modelo patriarcal dominante que estructuralmente ha desarrollado violencia física, explotación, discriminación y desigualdad. Este texto ofrece un doble objetivo: primero, un marco de análisis sistémico de las condiciones socioambientales y de conflictos emergentes; y segundo, sugiere acciones concretas que promuevan la igualdad, equidad, solidaridad, sustentabilidad ambiental y resolución noviolenta de conflictos dentro de una economía de regalo o economía solidaria en un mundo diverso y sustentable.
