Weatherhead Forum / Militants to Peacemakers: A Conversation from Bosnia-Herzegovina and Lebanon
Weatherhead EventsShow Notes
Join us in conversation with veterans from Bosnia-Herzegovina and Lebanon who have dedicated themselves to peacebuilding in their regions after ethnic conflict. The participants will discuss their efforts at building peaceful relations during postwar periods and will share insights about their pre-, post-, and wartime experiences and their decisions to seek and promote peace in their communities. Through this conversation, we seek to address important questions related to ethnonational politics, tolerance, peacebuilding, and the impact of wartime legacies on future generations.
Note: Some of the panelists in this event speak in different languages.

In the twenty-first century, that liberal world order is being challenged abroad and at home. In a period of tumult and confusion, the United States must now rethink its core international strategy.
