4th International Conference on Peace, Jaipur Peace Foundation

Dear Friend,

You will be happy to note that Jaipur Peace Foundation is organizing its 4th international conference on "Peace". This year the theme is Peace and Conflict Resolution in a Globalised World: Issue of Culturalism. The conference will take place in Jaipur during January 4-6,2007.

In the last about 15 years the world is witnessing unprecedented globalization that has affected every walk of life. It has also affected
the concept of peace and conflict resolution by adding new actors and processes and creating new issues. One of the issue that worries all is the issue of culturalism .The growing awareness about one's ethnic roots and cultural mooring has believed to threaten the democratic and liberal environment in the world. The differences or otherwise amongst cultures and issues of multiculturalism vs. liberalism vs. world culture and the role of nonviolent techniques to solve these issues is agitating our minds.

The conference seeks to provide a platform for peace lovers to examine these issues from various angles and to exchange their findings with each other so that a meaningful discussion can be started cutting across ideological, ethnical and national boundaries.

The sub themes of the conference include:

1.Theoretical approaches to peace and conflict resolution
2.Trouble spots of the world and the analysis of peace efforts.
3.Issue of culturalism as a factor for conflict
4.Role of nonviolent techniques in solving conflicts
5.Impact of globalization on peace related issues.
6.Role of Peace Education

The conference is being organized in the centenary year of launching of Satyagraha by Mahatma Gandhi (Gandhi launched it on September 11,1906 in
South Africa) and so a special session will be devoted to Satyagraha.

As you are interested in such issues, it is with great pleasure that we invite you to participate in this conference. Due to scarce resources we
will not be able to finance your travel but we will provide you guesthouse double sharing accommodation.

Yours truly,

Professor (Dr.) Naresh Dadhich
