Description of Conference: The opening decade of the 21st century has seen
war assume a number of new forms – new at least in
relation to the 20th century. So, for
instance, the West's war in Afghanistan is already
longer than WW2, and shows no sign of coming to an
end; the nature of those engaged in war has
widened to include a variety of non-state agents;
and war itself has come to include arguably
justifiable tactics and strategies
previously either excluded or at least not
recognised as legitimate. In short, the
distinction between war and peace is becoming
increasingly unclear.
The 2010 conference is part of a continuing and
explicitly multi- and inter-disciplinary
conversation that aims to bring together people
from a wide range of disciplines to focus on this
centrally significant aspect of our social lives
in order better to understand the nature and
place of war and peace.
