Frieden schaffen – Jörn Leonhard über Kriege und wie man sie beendet

In the organizer's words:

Creating peace - but how? Hardly any other question is currently so pressing and at the same time so controversial. When does the way out of a war actually begin? And how can it succeed: with or without weapons, through negotiations or the victory of one side? At what point do we know whether we are dealing with a resilient peace or merely a tactical respite? History does not repeat itself, and it does not provide blueprints for the problems of the present. But it does offer an inexhaustible reservoir of concrete conflicts and constellations. It allows us to see more clearly and to recognize. In his book On Wars and How to End Them, Leibniz Prize winner Jörn Leonhard looks back at wars of the past, which all came to an end at some point, and makes historical knowledge fruitful for understanding our present.
