The Institute for Economics and Peace and American University’s Kogod School of Business will host the 2015 biennial conference on “The Business and Economics of Peace,” April 10-11, 2015 at American University in Washington, D.C.

The conference will convene graduate, advanced undergraduate students, academics, and practitioners in the following areas of study: business, public policy, international relations, economics,  statistics, and others to analyze the role of businesses in conflict and peace. Businesses play many roles within conflicts as well as increasingly taking part in a peacebuilding capacity; the resolution of resource scarcity, political unrest, ethnic strife and environmental degradation can help bridge the gaps between conflict and peace to ensure a positive business environment for companies. 

The conference's four main focus themes are:

1)   Economics, Business, and Peace

2)   Measuring Peace

3)   Analysis and Management of Risk

4)   Resilient Businesses, Resilient Societies: Promoting Positive Peace
