Glocal Peace and Conflict

Glocal Peace and Conflict has two major aims. First, to continuously illuminate global dynamics in seemingly local conflicts and vice versa, which is symbolized in the term “glocal” and second, to continuously demonstrate the utility of sharing lessons learned about violence prevention across borders regardless of one’s background. Generating this deeper understanding between the speakers and among listeners can indeed encourage a paradigm shift from thinking about conflict as a process that solely includes visible conflict parties and types of violence, toward understanding violent conflict as a system that has a range of forces and actors within and beyond borders that intentionally or unintentionally accelerate myriad types of violence. With this bigger picture in mind, we can diversify the nature and number of interventions that weaken forces perpetuating such harms. The only question remaining then is how? Join us each episode to find some answers together!
