Peace and Conflict

Led by: Dr Walt Kilroy

What are the drivers and dynamics of conflict? What methods work for resolving and managing conflict? How can civilians be protected from harm? What have we learned about effective peacekeeping? What is the role of dialogue, multi-track diplomacy, and reconciliation? These are some of the pressing questions addressed by researchers in the Peace and Conflict cluster.
