The Future of Conflict Management and Peace Operations: Global and Regional Perspectives
ORG: SIPRI & FES
POC: Jair van der Lijn, Johann Ivanov
Topic: Multilateral conflict management and peace operations are in a state of flux. In the face of enormous challenges, the world is more divided than it has been for a long time. With the shift away from the global, rules-based order, governments have a broadening scope of conflict management approaches and norms, as well as alliances, to pick from.At the same time, globally, development cooperation is being cut dramatically and thus non-military resources for conflict management are being limited. The Trump presidency is compounding this. As multilateral conflict management is becoming increasingly difficult, and approaches are becoming increasingly fragmented, deinstitutionalized and militarized, analysis of the challenges as well as dialogues about the future are urgently needed. The New Geopolitics of Conflict Management initiative, a collaboration between the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) and the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES), kicked off in April with a first dialogue meeting in Dakar. It brought together leading experts and practitioners from the various regions of the world to discuss the future of conflict management and peace operations, and in particular the practical ways to adapt the tools to respond to the challenges at hand. This side event will present the initial findings and a panel of experts from African host-countries, will discuss ways forward, with a particular focus on peace operations.
