At a time when conflicts are multiplying across the globe, the episode asks whether this signals a failure of diplomacy or a call for its evolution.
Achim Wennmann explores how the peace diplomacy sector works — who its actors are, the roles they play, and how they differ. He also examines the mounting pressures of budget cuts and political change, and considers how these challenges are reshaping the field’s future.
The episode offers both a moment of stock-taking and a forward-looking vision for how peace diplomacy can remain resilient, relevant, and transformative in uncertain times.
