5-6 November 2013. Participation of the Institute staff in the international workshop "New Geopolitics Of Operations To Ensure Peace: Dialogue With The Emerging Powers. Central Asian Regional Dialogue" organized by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation in cooperation with the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute SIPRI.
Security challenges have changed significantly over the past decade. To a certain extent it influenced the form of operations to ensure peace. More and more states participate in peacekeeping missions. At the same time new structures and mechanisms of regional character appear which hypothetically allow carrying out peacekeeping missions by the region itself, without the involvement of the UN global resources.
The two-day international workshop became a platform to discuss the new landscape of peacemaking among scientists, politicians and practitioners in Central Asia, Russia, Ukraine, Germany, Sweden. The purpose of this dialogue is to find the factors influencing the peacekeeping operation, as well as analysis of the potential of a possible international cooperation which are necessary to deal with future security challenges in the region.
