This event is in fact very useful and important for the present globe.

Great topic! Communication for peace is a nice start, though just as with 'communication for climate' we need policy switches that look further and fix the system. Historical attempts to fix the symptoms (climate, violence, poverty etc) with symptom-focussed policy and communications are futile and never could work. If this is interesting for your conference please take a look at this presentation for the NATO Science Programme. Outlines a 'global security' paradigm change and a set of cross-issue policy switches to make the change. The political dynamic of 'preparations for violence' is tackled by a simple revision of national income measures.

Dear Jake,

Can you please tell us when is the deadline for the submission of proposals for the 2010 IPRA conference? I'm a second year PhD candidate in comparative peace research, and I'm very interested in presenting at this conference.

Thanking you and hoping to read from you,

Best regards,

Chaminda

i love the candid and practically frank reflective comments of I. M. Stensenth & Dr Elisabeth Mc Donnell.Actaully i have abstracted the same view elsewhere -possibly at INFINITY JOURNAL.NOTABLY NOBODY WILL GAIN if nonentities convoke to discuss an issue requiring a galaxy of intellectuals input but what's worth considering is that conferencing -especially no virtual ones should attempt to de-intellectiualise fora where opinions,views,reactions to eatablished norms or statusquo are convened to tap solutions or frsh approach to conflict resolutions...I dont think this will be different from top down researches of the 50s,60s by UN EXPERTS WHO LATER LAERNT lessons learnt that they oughtt to adopt a PARTICIPATORY APPROACH -iNVOLVEMENT IS A STEP FURTHER TO most development problematique.This humbe but not abdicating posture will allow TOWN+GOWN VIEWS AND a distillate of the near -to perfect outcome is or will not be far fetched insofar as the the real target/object of study is not edged out.Do i hear somebody coming up with a paper on REALISM & CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES? iT S MORNING YET ON HORIZONTAL COMMUNICATIONS -how soon then will the JOHARI WINDOW OPEN for and to both the researchers & the beneficiaries? The more you know the more you can theorise perfectly -otherwise the excellency wiil be deferred tto egg-zellence indefinitely -as if learning has no goal of humanising or ultimately are all research not for humankind?
I think so though there's arts for asrt sake .Maybe there's research for end of knowledge sake too.Even then idios savant -hyperspecialised intellectual s have a place inso far as that society need their focus.We need to include -even if not sponsor - the multidisciplinary group that can shed necessary light or otherwise look at issues at another angle.Deviations can be THOUGHTS OF EXPERTS innured in peace actions as well fundamentals of health education research.
Apart although thanks to UNESCO -ROTARY INTERNATIONAL WAS PART OF THE UN as an observer -prior to the formation of UNESCO IN 1946....i LOVE YUOR VIEWS
I'm only using my UNESCO CLUB DAYS THOUGHTS
