Building Capacity, Sustaining Peace: The Impact of Non-State Actors
Channel: One Earth Future
Date: 2017-02-10

The international landscape looks very different than it did several decades ago. Today’s narratives are not dominated entirely by the actions of a few power states and statesmen. Instead, thousands of non-state actors, their strategies and innovative approaches, color geopolitics. From think tanks and foundations, to businesses and other civil society groups, non-state actors are seeking to solve some of the world’s most difficult problems and making sustainable peace more possible than ever. OEF Research talked to some of these innovative leaders to learn more about the challenges they face and the creative solutions they develop. 

Together with the communities in which they serve, these organizations and other non-state actors are continuing to change the international landscape for the better. Problem solving and building capacity through innovation. Making sustainable peace more possible than ever.
