Nordic Peace and Conflict Resolution Efforts
In the current, multipolar world order, Nordic collaboration on peace and conflict resolution efforts is gaining momentum again. At this seminar, a report commissioned by the Nordic Council of Ministers on Nordic peace and conflict resolution efforts will be launched. The report focuses on how Nordic countries work together on peace and conflict resolution, present the current structures of Nordic cooperation and map challenges and potentials for future collaboration. Three cases of Nordic collaboration will be discussed: 1) Nordic integrated efforts on peace and conflict resolution in Afghanistan, 2) Nordics working together in the UN and 3) Nordic networking on the woman, peace and security agenda.
