Panel Discussion "How to Avoid War"

To celebrate the University of Bonn’s 200th anniversary and to address the growing uncertainties in international relations, the Center for International and Security and Governance hosted a lecture and panel discussion on November 19th 2018.

Over the past few years we have witnessed an ever-growing number of conflicts, division and challenges and the unraveling of the international liberal international order that diplomatic efforts haven’t been able to stop. Digitalization, globalization, and technology changes along with climate change are creating a set of more complicated, complex and dynamic security challenges while the will to cooperate seems to be decreasing. With challenges mounting, isolationism and tensions rising, the CISG invited a number of distinguished foreign policy experts to discuss what role diplomacy can play under today’s political conditions.
