Description
The panel offers an interdisciplinary approach to research and practice aimed at informing the 2024 Summit of the Future. It addresses questions including: What does the future of conflict look like? Which actors will be at the forefront of conflict and peace making? What can an International Studies approach tell us about the likelihood of success for these proposals? The panel seeks to identify gaps in the current research– for example, changing approaches to and methods of engaging in conflict – to better understand how we can address these challenges moving forward. By incorporating insights from fields including (but not limited to) ontological security studies, space defence policy, and counterextremism, the panel seeks to explain why multidisciplinary, collaborative analyses of these questions can offer more nuanced and proactive responses to facilitate positive exchange and debate in how we contemplate and critique these proposals moving forward.
