Globalization, Social Movements and Peacebuilding

Thursday, October 29

The deepening world economic crisis makes it increasingly urgent that scholars of peace and conflict focus

their attention on the links between the global economy and violence. This public panel marks the start of a

research project that places peacebuilding firmly within a global context, considering how global processes

as well as social movements, and other non-state actors contribute to both conflict and peace.
