David Cortright, Ph.D., Director of Policy Studies at the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, discusses several significant findings from peace and conflict research regarding the causes of war - that is, when and where war and armed conflict are most likely to emerge - and the factors involved in preventing armed conflict and building sustainable conditions of peace within and between nations. Cortright uses the latest in peace and conflict research to demonstrate how to create peace through international governmental cooperation, economic development, educational opportunities, the inclusion of women in government, and participatory governance. He argues that building governance mechanisms that are the most inclusive as possible is critical for creating and sustaining the conditions of peace.
