Top-Down Peacemaking: Why Regional Peacemaking Begins with States, Rather than Societies

Thu., Mar. 3, 2011 | 12:15pm - 2:00pm

Littauer Building - Belfer Center Library, Room 369

This seminar will examine three successful peace settlements (of varying degrees of success), Franco-German reconciliation after World War II, the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty of 1979, and the Israeli-Jordanian peace treaty of 1994, to determine what brings regional rivals to bury the hatchet and what accounts for variations in the quality of peace.  

Please join us! Coffee and tea provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.
