International Congress
Public Safety in a Diverse Society
International Conference
International Seminar Security in Diversity
Segovia-Madrid
19-22 October 2011
Twenty-first century societies are increasingly international, global, complex, diverse, technological and interconnected. The problems in any given community or city are increasingly international problems which affect us all on an international level and therefore, solutions also come from the international realm.
Diversity is not only a fact, but rather it is a paradigm more and more present in the management of organisations and public administrations which try to strengthen and establish the rule of law. Public safety is included in this reality and we are currently experiencing major enthusiasm in the field of studies and innovative experiences focusing of the aims of protecting and preserving the rights of each and every one. They are also seen as an opportunity to work on coexistence, integration and social development. The current economic climate has made public safety in a diverse society key in reaching one of mankind’s main aspirations: coexistence in diversity.
The effervescence of new methods in security and justice, along with the intrinsically global and technological character of our diverse society at this point in time make it an ideal moment to generate a joint international discussion and reflection in order to come to agreements on the type of protection of the rights of each and every one in our diverse society we want as well as the type of international collaboration.
This International Congress, along with the International Conference, aimed to analyse and reflect on how to understand and support each other in order to guarantee each and every one’s rights and reach one of man’s main aspirations: coexistence in diversity. It has done so by taking into account different professions, methods, cultures, and countries across the world.
In this sense, the Congress Programme, as well as programmes in parallel such as the International Conference and the “Security in Diversity” Seminar, has presented a unique opportunity to learn about and share a wealth of varied new research and experiences. It has also provided an opportunity for joint work at international level on public safety and justice focusing on social and cultural diversity as the transversal axis of our work.
