PMU Conference on Conflict Prevention & Resolution (CCPR)
Paradigm Shifts in Policies, Implementations, and Potential Solutions for the 21st century
About the conference
The world is changing in almost every aspect of human life on scale never seen before. Changes in global economy, education, technology, business relations, cross-border investments, natural resources, labor, human migration/displacement, wars, regional conflicts, land disputes, religiosity, rise of nationalism, racism, ethnicity, prejudice, ideologies etc., are capable of producing causes for conflicts and barriers to conflict resolution both at the domestic level and in the international arena. In different ways, those changes raise challenges to the optimal realization of the United Nations Strategic Development Goals (UN SDG) that aspire to a world with greater justice, equality, and less violence in all its forms.
The issues related to these domains are further exacerbated by the exponential growth in world population. The PMU Conference on Conflict Prevention & Resolution (CCPR): Paradigm Shifts in Policies, Implementations, and Potential Solutions for the 21st century, will address ways and explore models through which differences can be reconciled for a peaceful co-existence for everyone on the planet.
Traditional ways of conflict resolutions may not apply in the 21st century without amendments or/and introducing new theories, laws and practices. Conflict resolution broadly covers dispute settlement, the prevention of violence, and reducing the occurrence of conflicts in private and public contexts, and in inter-group and inter-state relations. The CCPR will highlight the major issues and examine ways to address them.
