Description
This roundtable brings together scholars and practitioners to critically examine the evolving landscape of peacebuilding in the face of complex global challenges. From recurrent conflicts and authoritarian resurgence to climate-induced displacement and violations of international humanitarian law, contemporary peacebuilding efforts must navigate increasingly multifaceted environments. Participants will explore how liberal peacebuilding is being re-evaluated and re-interpreted, and discuss emerging approaches that accommodate local agency, adaptive approaches, illiberal practices, and the evolving role of multilateral actors. By fostering dialogue across regions, this session aims to identify the theories and strategies to respond to current realities and advance sustainable peace.
