29:40 What is the future of peace studies? He says that's one of the unknown unknowns. Actually it's a known unknown. We might consider... are there any unknown knowns? They can be low hanging fruit that bring us faster answers in the same way as discovering known and tested medicines that can be used to combat covid.

The question, what would Gandhi have done against Hitler is a funny one.

40 mins - a call to scale peace studies ... (a call to innovators?)

from 29mins, future drivers that impact peace creation: 1. climate change - if there is still debate then there is unlikely to be action. 2. transnational armed militia in urbanisation and growth of city regions and policing crime (not nuclear, not global) 3. governance and rule of law prodcues peace 4. 37mins ... crime and corruption are separate issues. corruption related to lack of morality when citizens more likely to kill other citizens 5. expatriate communities and views drive hate speech from abroad

27mins 'what is the nature of peace?'

at 22mins - great point made about global deaths from war have decreased in recent times ... but with regions of increased levels of violence (hot spots) the threat to peace and conflict services undermines there legitimacy and public peceptions are too undermined. A dangerous path if deaths from war are to continue a downward trajectory.
