Details

International practitioners and scholars offer insights into peace mediation practice today and the role of third parties in the resolution of armed conflicts. Offering unique reflections on the new frameworks set out by the UN, authors and discussants comment on the newly published volume “Rethinking Peace Mediation” (Bristol University Press 2021) and how peace mediation has developed into a complex arena and how multifaceted assistance has become an indispensable part of it. The event will focus on policy and real-world examples from across the globe and build a critical understanding for researchers of peace and conflict studies and for those interested in becoming advisors involved in peace processes.

While most panelists will join virtually, Columbia students and faculty have the option to attend in person or online (see the different registration options). As per SIPA guidelines, in-person participation will be limited to 25 students.
