Conflict Management and Peacebuilding: Pillars of a New American Grand Strategy.

摘要

On February 24, 2012, Kennesaw State University (KSU) and the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) of the U.S. Army War College (USAWC), conducted a symposium entitled Peacebuilding and Conflict Management: Pillars of a New American Grand Strategy. The symposium built on the results of the 2011 KSU-SSI symposium that examined the utility of the U.S. Government's whole- of-government (WoG) approach for responding to the challenging security demands of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Based on this earlier evaluation of the benefits and shortcomings of the WoG approach in the field and the integration of operational and tactical demands generated by new security challenges, the 2012 symposium examined more closely the strategic objectives of interagency cooperation specifically in the areas of peacebuilding and conflict management.
