WHEN: Nov. 13, 2014 | 12:00 p.m. - 1:45 p.m. (Lunch will be provided.)
WHERE: Strasser Legacy Room (220 Eggers Hall) | Maxwell School

Participants should have some familiarity with the constructive conflict approach and have some ideas about possible applications that would reduce the destructiveness of one or more of the interrelated conflicts in the Middle East. The applications may be undertaken by various actors—US officials, American NGOs, foreign governments, international governmental organizations, or non-state actors. Short-term or long-term applications may be proposed. Familiarity with the constructive conflict approach may be gained by attending the Nov. 11th session; by reading “Toward More Constructive Conflicts”; and/or by reading “Waging Conflict Constructively."

This event is co-sponsored by The Program for the Advancement of Research on Conflict and Collaboration (PARCC) and INSCT's Carol Becker Middle East Security Speaker Series.
