Description
This perennial question helps frame the panel's cutting-edge scholarships on how to best predict, prevent, and end conflict. The papers are diverse, from theoretical approaches to the strategic motivations behind conflict, through to the historical study of Imperialism and the Global South. Indeed, the range of papers also includes those who conduct a contemporary analysis of the reasons behind the 2019 India-Pakistan hostilities, and the utility of quantitative analysis to understand the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. All, however, are united by the drive to understand the underpinning reasoning for conflict.
