<str<strong>on</strong>g>Workshop</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>Sustainable</strong> <strong>Peace</strong>:<br />
Old and New Approaches<br />
We live in a world of c<strong>on</strong>flicts where building sustainable peace is <strong>on</strong>e of the main<br />
challenges. Building sustainable peace is multi dimensi<strong>on</strong>al and a very l<strong>on</strong>g process<br />
given that sustaining it encompasses more than mere enforcement but peace has to be<br />
guaranteed as well. To realize peace, root causes of the c<strong>on</strong>flicts have to be addressed.<br />
This workshop aims to provide a platform for senior and junior researchers and experts to<br />
discuss about old and new, and theoretical and empirical approaches to sustainable peace,<br />
with a specific focus <strong>on</strong> the issues of c<strong>on</strong>flict.<br />
