In the pursuit of peace and the struggle for democracy, new research can provide new insights. On 15 October, an EBA seminar was held with the aim of providing a deeper understanding of:
The causes behind conflicts – what are people actually fighting for?
Cooperation with non-state armed groups – challenges and opportunities.
Violence in connection with elections – and the urgent need to put an end to it
Watch the seminar afterwards:
The seminar is based on a new EBA report entitled ‘What Are They Fighting For? A problem-based approach to analysing and resolving civil wars’ and three new dissertations in peace and conflict research from Uppsala University. By bringing these themes together, we will look at what they can teach us about practical paths to lasting peace.
