PKSOI Conference- “Transitions: Issues, Challenges and Solutions”

“TRANSITIONS: Issues, Challenges and Solutions” is a three-day international conference hosted by the U.S. Army Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute at the U.S. Army War College in historic Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. The conference brings together key thinkers and practitioners from academia, civil society, government, and the military in an open forum to explore, examine, and understand “transitions” as a crucial process during recovery from crisis and conflict. With daily panels of experts presenting their work around a specific theme, followed by facilitated small-group discussions, we will examine issues, opportunities, and lessons learned in the empowerment of host nation governments and civil society, and the subsequent transition of responsibility and control to indigenous agencies and organizations. Additionally, we seek to advance opportunities for networking and collaboration among the various communities involved in these activities.

The conference is open to interested members of academia, civil society, government, and militaries who desire to learn about and share information on the wide range of activities associated with transitions. Registration is now open.
