Nordic Council and Center for Resolution of International Conflicts (CRIC)
New Nordic Peace? Nordic Peace and
Conflict Resolution Efforts
Folketinget, 9 April 2019, 16:00-17:45
In the current, multipolar world order, Nordic collaboration on peace and conflict
resolution efforts is gaining momentum again.
At this seminar, a report commissioned by the Nordic Council of Ministers on Nor-
dic peace and conflict resolution efforts will be launched.
The report focuses on how Nordic countries work together on peace and conflict
resolution, present the current structures of Nordic cooperation and map chal-
lenges and potentials for future collaboration.
Three cases of Nordic collaboration will be discussed: 1) Nordic integrated efforts
on peace and conflict resolution in Afghanistan, 2) Nordics working together in the
UN and 3) Nordic networking on the woman, peace and security agenda.
