A European Peace Agency

TOWARDS A EUROPEAN PEACE AGENCY – AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS SURELY COME

At a time when Europe and the world faces rising geopolitical tensions, democratic fragility, and the mounting human and economic costs of unresolved conflicts, the idea of a European Peace Agency has never been more urgent. This talk presents a bold, forward-looking proposal for a treaty‑based, non‑military, professional peacebuilding institution, modelled on the scientific cooperation of the European Space Agency, and dedicated to preventing, mediating, and transforming conflicts across Europe and its neighbouring regions. Drawing on a quarter‑century of peace research, diplomacy, education, and intercultural work, Dr Thomas Clough Daffern, founder‑director of the International Institute of Peace Studies and Global Philosophy, will outline why the EPA is an idea whose time has surely come, and how Labour members—wherever in the world they reside—can help champion a transformative new architecture for Europe’s peace and security future. A version of this talk has already been given to the Liberal Democrats Philosophy Network as this is a trans-partisian intiative.
