International conference on the occasion of Prof. Dr. Harald Müller's retirement on13th and 14th October 2016
After almost twenty years as Executive Director at PRIF and Head of Research Department I “International Security and World Order”Harald Müller resigns in October 2016. On this occasion, PRIF organizes the international conference “World Order and Peace” on13th and 14th October 2016.
The aim of this scientific conference is to review certain topics of peace research of the last decades, questioning which of these issues and problems are still relevant in a world that “has gotten out of joint”. On what can and should peace research keep an eye, what knowledge has remained essential and which questions have been answered by now? Amongst other topics, the constitution of institutions and the resulting chances for cooperation, the democratic peace and the questions of global justice will be examined. This conference is funded by the German foundation for peace research.
Due to the limited capacity of available places, participation is granted by invitation only.
