The subject of the talk will be:
The world is becoming less peaceful and concerns about the future of peace as a focus or area of policy and practice seem warranted. Based on 156 interviews conducted over 7 years, Professor Millar's presentation will describe the various challenges (structural, financial, and practical) that practitioners in particular identify as limiting their ability to contribute to sustainable peace. His remarks will also outline new approaches and mechanisms that would allow policy to better support peace work in this time of increasing uncertainty.
