Abstract
Advocacy communication is now a key action term in development discourse. Advocates are usually issue- or programme-oriented and do not often think in terms of an ongoing process of social change in general, or peacebuilding in particular. The resolution of an issue or the initiation of a programme are ends in themselves. Thus, the primary aim of advocacy is to foster public policies that are supportive to the solution of an issue or programme. Since public policies must be viewed as an integral part of development processes, the kind of advocacy we advocate is participatory.Communication en matière de plaidoyer pour la construction de la paixLa communication en matière de plaidoyer décrit désormais une action clé dans le discours du développement. Les acteurs du plaidoyer se concentrent en général sur des questions ou des programmes précis et ne réfléchissent pas souvent en termes d'un processus continu de changement social en général, ou de construction de la paix en particulier. La résolution d'un problème ou le lancement d'un programme constituent une fin en elle/lui-même. Ainsi, le principal objectif du plaidoyer est de favoriser des politiques publiques qui soutiennent la résolution d'un problème ou l'aboutissement d'un programme. Comme les politiques publiques doivent être considérées comme faisant partie intégrante des processus de développement, le type de plaidoyer que nous préconisons est participatif.Comunicação de defesa de direitos para a construção da pazA comunicação de defesa de direitos (advocacy communication) é agora um termo-chave de ação no discurso de desenvolvimento. Os defensores de direitos normalmente são orientados por questões - ou programas – e normalmente não pensam em termos do processo de mudança social em geral que está ocorrendo, ou na construção da paz em particular. A solução de uma questão ou o início de um programa são fins em si mesmo. Então, o principal objetivo da defesa de direitos é promover políticas públicas que apoiem a solução de uma questão ou programa. Tendo em vista que as políticas públicas devem ser revisadas como parte integral dos processos de desenvolvimento, o tipo de defesa de direitos que promovemos é participativa.Comunicación para incidir en la construcción de pazLa comunicación para la incidencia es hoy un término clave en el lenguaje del desarrollo. Sus partidarios suelen centrarse en temas o programas, y a menudo no reparan en el proceso continuo de cambio social en general ni en la construcción de paz en particular. La resolución de una disputa o el inicio de un programa son fines en sí mismos. Por ende, el objetivo principal de la incidencia consiste en fomentar políticas públicas que contribuyan a resolver la disputa o a concluir el programa. Debido a que las políticas públicas deben ser una parte integral del proceso de desarrollo, los autores proponen que la incidencia sea participativa.
