This conference is organized by the interdisciplinary research group ‘The Nature of Peace’ at the Pufendorf Institute of Advance Studies at Lund University, Sweden. The research group scrutinizes the role of the natural environment in post-conflict societies, posing questions such as: What role does nature have in peace building? How is the natural environment considered in fragile states that need to develop quickly, during reconstruction period? Does peace always bring sustainable development? How can peace-building activities contribute to sustainable development?
The research group brings together researchers from five different faculties (Social Sciences, Law, Humanities and Theology, Natural Sciences, and University Specialised Centres) to discuss and work on these issues.
The conference is structured in six seminars and a panel:
- Natural resources exploitation
- Environmental legislation / nature governance
- Biodiversity conservation
- Monitoring environmental transformation (tools and mechanisms)
- Nature, culture and rights
- Intersectionality, post-conflict and natural environment
- Panel: Local perspectives
Papers interested in discussing the role of nature in post-conflict societies and/or during peacebuilding are welcome! If you would like to participate, please send an email to Andrea Nardi (andrea.nardi@keg.lu.se) or Lina Eklund (lina.eklund@cme.lu.se) by 15th February, 2018.
