Peace studies & conflict resolution; Geopolitics; Other warfare & defence issues

We are living though a new age of war. As conflicts escalate in Europe and the Middle East, the world faces the greatest threat to global peace for a generation. How will we meet the challenge?

In How Wars End, conflict analyst and former UN weapons inspector Jan Van Aken draws on the history of conflict resolution to present practical, evidence-based strategies for peace. He asks: what can we learn from previous wars, what tools are necessary so that hostile actors can talk to each other, and which conditions make peaceful solutions possible? Skillfully interweaving the latest findings from peace research with stories and examples from Northern Ireland to Serbia, South Sudan to Afghanistan, Vietnam to Syria, he reveals the steps necessary for violence to cease, and peace to be restored.
