Peace Talks: Local Peace Agreements

The Political Settlements Research Programme presents

Local Peace Agreements

About the seminar

This webinar will examine the importance of local peace processes, and what they can teach us about conflict landscapes around the world.

This webinar will offer a glimpse into the processes and outcomes of local peace processes, featuring research and data from the PA-X Local Peace Agreements Database.

This event will examine what we can learn from local peace agreements about what conflict landscapes look like, and to what extent our conceptualisations of armed conflict work. We will look at a case study of local agreements in Syria, with a focus on how particular they are from national agreements but also how 'local' they actually are in the context of a complex nested conflict, and then look at additional examples of local agreements from around the world. The event will finish with an open Q&A and the opportunity for discussion.

Featuring PSRP’s Dr Juline Beaujouan and Robert Wilson, with special guest Dr Jan Pospisil from the Austrian Study Centre for Peace and Conflict Resolution, alongside Marika Theros from the Conflict Research Programme at the London School of Economics and Political Science as event chair.
