INVITATION
CYPRUS ASSOCIATION OF SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY
CASP would like to invite you on the 25th of November 2015 at the Home for Cooperation between 19.00-20.30 to the lecture entitled:
“Why Peace Processes Fail: Negotiating Insecurity After Civil Wars” 19.00- 19.15 Registration 19.15-19.30 Welcome and Introduction by the President of CASP, Dr. Charis Psaltis 19.30- 20.00 Lecture by Dr. Jasmine-Kim Westendorf “Why Peace Processes Fail: Negotiating Insecurity After Civil Wars” 20.00-20.30 Open discussion 20.30 Snacks and refreshments
Abstract: This talk explores how the international community engages in resolving civil wars. It investigates why, despite the best of intentions, and the investment of significant resources, peace processes often fail to consolidate peace, and, even when civil war does not resume, violence, insecurity and instability pervade many post-war societies. It draws on case studies from across Africa, Asia and the Pacific to map the successes and failures of peace processes across the spheres of governance, security and transitional justice, and pays particular attention to the way the international community's approach to peacemaking has contributed to the weaknesses of peace process since the end of the Cold War.
