For Prof. Dr. Andreas Heinemann Grüder, one thing is certain: ‘Conflict prevention is not an item to be cut for budget consolidation, but an investment in stability and security. If we don't act, Russia, Turkey and China will. If the problems are not solved locally, they will come to us.’ He therefore calls on us not to lose sight of military conflict management. As the United Nations continues to lose power, he believes that diplomacy is the wrong place to cut back. Together with Nora Müller and Dr. Sonja Katharina Schiffers, he analyses why non-military conflict management will remain important in the future and why peacebuilding is also democracy promotion.
