Track II, Citizen’s
Diplomacy: Innovative Possibilities for Peace
On November 2nd, 2003, acclaimed conflict resolution practitioner and
theorist Dr. Edy Kaufman delivered an engaging presentation on Track
II, Citizen’s Diplomacy: Innovative Possibilities for Peace at
a public forum organized by Women In Security, Conflict Management and
Peace (WISCOMP) in collaboration with United States Education Foundation
India (USEFI) at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi.
In
the context of the Indo-Pak peace process, the attempt of the interaction
was to encourage innovative dialogue on the ways in which members of
the public can strengthen the peace process through people to people
contact or, Citizens Diplomacy. Dr. Kaufman shared strategies and ideas
for engaging in Track II diplomacy based on his extensive experience
of working in the Middle East, South America and Africa. With the participation
of the audience, he encouraged discussion on the relevance of lessons
learned from the Middle East peace processes for conflicts in South
Asia.
