IF: THE CHANGING CHARACTER OF WAR AND PEACEMAKING 6 MAY 2026

Lord John Alderdice will draw on his experience as a key negotiator in the 1998 Good Friday Agreement to examine the shifting nature of global conflict and peacemaking within today’s rapidly changing geopolitical landscape. As ongoing global conflicts threaten to marginalise the United Nations and the rules-based international order, peacemaking is also being forced to adapt to a new situation in which leaders are less often those who seek to resolve conflicts than those who conduct them. Lord Alderdice will bring his experience of politics, parliament and peacebuilding to an analysis of the problem and some ideas of what to do about it.
