Strategies for Sustainable Peacebuilding: Implementation and Policy
Scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers will speak about implementation challenges to designing resilient peace agreements, as well as engaged monitoring and fostering public participation when integrating peace agreements into policy. Our two keynotes will focus on dilemmas of peace-making and strategic delivery of negotiated peace agreements. Specific examples are drawn from Africa and South America, as well as Ireland.
This two-day colloquium is co-organized by Professor Josefina Echavarría, Professor Catherine Panter-Brick, and Ambassador Bisa Williams. Attendance is limited to the Yale campus community with Yale ID; please register in advance.
Sponsors include the Jackson School of Global Affairs and the Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies (Edward J. and Dorothy Clarke Kempf Memorial Fund; Council on African Studies; Council on Latin American & Iberian Studies; Program on Conflict, Resilience and Health; Program on Peace and Development).
