Perspectives from India

Berghof Foundation

In the second session of the Global Conflict Transformation Series, we invite experts from India to share their perspectives.

With its large population and a great variety of cultures and religious or philosophical beliefs, India has experienced many dialogues between communities. At the global level, India stands for South-South solidarity and peaceful co-existence between states. That is why India’s role in international politics has often been framed as a ‘moral power on the rise’. In recent years, India has become increasingly involved in multilateral debates on peace and security, while embarking on new foreign policy directions.In the second session of our series ‘Conflict transformation in a multipolar world’, distinguished experts and practitioners from India will share insights into current discourses on conflict transformation and share their views on India as an actor in the international peacebuilding scene. Our discussions will revolve around the question of how we can foster mutual learning across peacebuilding communities, to better address future challenges for conflict transformation and peacebuilding. The Berghof Foundation together with the Freie Universität Berlin would like to invite you to this online discussion.AgendaOpening Remarks: <ul><li>Dr. Karoline Eickhoff, Associate Researcher, Berghof Foundation </li></ul>Panel discussion with:<ul><li>Prof. Anjoo Sharan, Professor at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi</li><li>Prof. Priyankar Upadhyaya, UNESCO Chair for Peace and Intercultural Understanding at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi</li><li>Dr. Florina Xavier, Return and Reintegration Advisor at Act for Peace, Chennai</li><li>Prof. Gladston Xavier, Associate Professor in Social Work at Loyola College, Chennai</li></ul>Moderated by: Prof. Tobias Berger, Junior Professor for Political Science, Freie Universität BerlinReflections <ul><li>Janel B.

The Berghof Foundation aims to explore the implications of this development for our work by inviting peacebuilding and conflict transformation experts from around the world. In this series of panel discussions, we focus on countries with historically and contextually distinct approaches to conflict transformation who are playing increasingly important roles in regional and international peacebuilding.
