ACLED at MSC 2024 | Conversation on Trends in Global Conflict

Описание: The intensity, geography, and forms of conflict have shifted in recent decades: this conversation will consider how the international community and the interests of major and minor powers grapple with these changes. Conflict today is widespread and pervasive: across the world, one in six people live in proximity to an active conflict. Further, in 2024, conflict will likely continue to rise significantly, as patterns have since the end of the pandemic. This year, the unprecedented number of elections could be a key driver of domestic violence and international spillover: planned races in Mexico, the United States, and Russia; contested election results in the Democratic Republic of Congo; and a new government taking office in Haiti, are likely to expose far more citizens to conflict. The conversation will be structured by questions asked of participants around the dramatic and drastic changes in the international community, corresponding to severe changes in internal conflict across the world.
