Tuesday, 9th February 2010 @ 7:30pm
This Tuesday - Tuesday of 4th Week (9 February) - PPE Society and Aegis are co-hosting a discussion about the problems of rebuilding after ethnic conflict. Nation-building and peace-building are crucial and often underplayed elements to ethnic-conflict resolution. How have different territories recovering from ethnic conflict sought to preserve peace in the aftermath of those struggles? What challenges did they face, and what strategies were successful?
Our panel includes:
- Professor Richard Caplan, Professor of International Relations and Official Fellow of Linacre College, who has studied the Yugoslav wars extensively with an interest in post-conflict state-building.
- Dr. Phil Clark, a political scientist specialising in conflict and post-conflict issues in Africa, particularly transitional justice. His current work focuses on international, national and community-based responses to mass violence in Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
- Dr Anke Hoeffler, a research officer at the Centre for the Study of African Economies, with a specific interest in the areas of economic growth and the economics of conflict.
- Geoff O'Donoghue, the Director of International Development at CAFOD, a development charity.
Please join us in the Sasketchwan Room in Exeter College this Tuesday at 7:30 pm - it should be a really interesting discussion.
There's also some more information on the facebook event page.
