PEACE BUILDING AND CONFLICT TRANSFORMATION AMID COVID-19 PANDEMIC
6 - 7 June 2022, Online
Concept
The upsurge of conflicts in Myanmar and the swift Taliban regime reassertion of control in Afghanistan point to distressing challenges of maintaining peace and sustaining peace dividends on a global scale. In the Philippines, peace efforts vis-à-vis the communists suffered a setback with the enactment of the anti-Terror Law, even while the implementation of mechanisms under the peace agreement with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) were placed on the sidelines by the urgency of COVID-19 pandemic response. These challenges make us rethink what tenets truly constitute political order, and to reconsider hybrid arrangements for peace. There is a need to de-couple peace with the interests of the state and move beyond formal conclusions to conflict (i.e. peace agreements) to address structural bases of violence.
The 2022 PPSA International Conference seeks papers that explore peace building and conflict transformation amid the COVID-19 pandemic, current developments and challenges of the peace process in the Philippines, comparative elements of peace negotiations around the world, the possibility for transitional justice, gender dimensions of pandemic peace and security, and strategies to address armed conflict and violence. Papers that examine actors processes, and institutions that advance liberal peace and seeks to advance critical conversations and theoretical imports are welcome.
