Professor Gearoid Millar to deliver invited talk at the Austrian Forum for Peace

Professor Gearoid Millar will give an invited talk at the First Austrian Forum for Peace at Schlaining Castle between July 3-6.

In his talk, entitled 'A Trans-Scalar Approach to Peace', Millar will consider how peace research has, to date, failed to respond to the evolving character of conflict, including technological, legal, and economic changes.

The inaugural event, Peace Processes in a Fragmented World and Innovation for Peace: Conflict and Climate, will draw on experts from academia, the European Commission, and Ministeries of Defence (among others), who will participate in two days of panels and expert workshops.

While positive peace has often been critiqued as ill-defined and unattainable, it is exactly as an aspirational goal that it has been most useful

The invited talk will build on Millar's breadth of work on the subject, including his 2021 paper, 'Ambition and ambivalence: Reconsidering positive peace as a trans-scalar peace system'.

In the article, he proposes a Trans-Scalar Peace System that would, among other functions, 'privilege the voice of those with the most pertinent knowledge, experience and capacity for action in support of any given policy or practice'.

The conference will close with a PeaceTech-Marketplace, which will bring together peace practitioners and tech professionals to discuss the potential for technology to play a role in empathy-building and early-warning systems.
