EU peace capacities: An analysis of the EU's integration of the youth, peace and security agenda MOAID-AZM PEREGRINA, JUSAIMA This contribution examines the integration of the youth, peace and security (YPS) agenda within the European Union (EU). This integration has evolved from initial recognition to a stronger implementation phase. Key milestones include the Young Med Voices Plus Initiative and the recent Youth Action Plan for 2022–2027. However, challenges remain. These include inconsistent support and the need for more specific strategies for youth in conflict settings. Recent developments such as the inclusion of the YPS agenda in EU Peace Mediation Guidelines signal progress towards a more systematic integration. 2024-11-28T12:18:49Z 2024-11-28T12:18:49Z 2024-11-19 journal article Moaid-azm Peregrina, Jusaima.
