AMBINERGIA 2009 THE STUDY CENTER FOR POLITICAL AND NATIONAL STRATEGIES PARTICIPATION
The C.E.P.E.N. is a partnership of public and private entities, either collective or individual, that are devoted to study, research, and the promotion of national policies and strategies in internal and international relations.
Internationally, within the Lusophone countries, the PIEN Lusophone network contributes to an innovative discourse on integrity and its practical application through a network of quality and excellence formed by universities and research institutions and Advanced Studies
The proposed C.E.P.E.N. will exist to provide a forum to develop innovative outputs in the field of integrity that contribute to stable and equitable development. It will do this through focused working groups targeted on specific social challenges for integrity. Through focusing on the specific challenges and back towards the integrity skills required to support them the centre will be able to rapidly produce well adapted and targeted knowledge and skills interventions. These interventions will be directed both at the use of integrity to address social challenges, but also to the creation of a constructive and informed demand for integrity on the part of the state and private corporations.
The members of the C.E.P.N.I. will be drawn from: The Public Sector, The Private Sector, Academia, and Civil Society.
A.1 – The approach to be adopted by the centre
The systematic arrangement of the analytical principles for the study, research, elaboration of proposals and projects conducting an uniform methodology have to:
- Identify specific Social/Political/Economical Challenges
- Overlook a multidisciplinary approach suitable for understanding and addressing the use of citizenship to address the challenges;
- Compare national reforms, identifying problems and formulating proposals;
- Address issues often addressed through concepts such as Sovereignty, border, airports, ports threats, Intelligence and counter intelligence, Citizenship, Mobilisation on reservists and thus enable new policy options.
- To provide a resource for public and privet sector practitioners and policy makers;
- Provide a of national vision of specific challenges and opportunities and threats to be faced;
- Provide an analysis forum for reforms on Nationals Strategies and Politics on the National Defence
A.2 – Areas of Work
Key areas of focus will be the subject of debate between the organisation’s members, however core interest areas are challenges related to:
i) Public Service
ii) Civil Society
iii) Access to and application of the law
iv) Regulation and efficient access top private and public areas
v) Electoral processes and political life
In each of these areas (and perhaps some others) the central analytical approach will be how the intangible assets of institutions in these sectors can be so allocated as to make use of integrity to resolve the key social problems associated with their poor performance.
