Conflict Research Center, Saint Paul University and Chair Enjeux de société et prospectives, Université Catholique de Lille

Organization and coordination: Hélène Tessier, director, Conflict Research Center and François Mabille, director, Chair Enjeux de sociétés et prospectives, Université catholique de Lille.

Contemporary research has contributed to enrich, as well as to complexify, our understanding of conflict. What about our understanding of post conflict situations? This conference is designed to deepen our reflection from a political, as well as an historical prespective. How and when can we consider that peace has returned? Peace is not a fact but a multidetermined process. It is the political, legal, economical and social results that present specific dynamics to different temporalities? Political time or military time? Moral or therapeutical temporality ?
