November 29 to December 1 in Stadtschlaining/Peace Castler and the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna.
The 2017 State of Peacebuilding Conference will scrutinize the interfaces between state-based and non-state forms of power in post-war peacebuilding with a view to understanding the origins of dominant IO practices and discursive strategies in post-war peacebuilding. The panels will combine theoretical reflections on the practices, politics, and paradigms that constitute contemporary peacebuilding with case studies and methodological considerations with a view to summarizing and advancing the contemporary debate on IO peacebuilding.
Besides international capacities like Oliver Ramsbotham from the University of Bradford and Nicolás Lemay-Hébert from the University of Birmingham, the Law Faculty of the University of Graz will represented by Benedikt Harzl (REEES), Hubert Isak (Institute of European Law), and Maximilian Lakitsch (Institute of Legal Foundations).
