The New Peace with Mary Kaldor

Join us as Mary Kaldor discusses the third editiong of her landmark work on New and Old Wars. Kaldor's work on new wars, first published in 1999, crystallized thinking about the changing nature of war in the globalized post-Cold War era, in particular focusing on the proliferation of non-state ators and the systematic targeting of civilians, the importance of identity politics, and the inter-relationship between private and often criminal interests and political conflict. She is Professor of Global Governance and Director of the Civil Society and Human Security Research Unit at the London School of Economics, and will be presented with the Dr Jean Mayer Global Citizenship Award at this lecture. The book signing will begin at 5 pm in the Mezzanine area, and the lecture will take place at 5:30 in the ASEAN Auditorium.
