SIPRI is pleased to announce that its successful initiative is continuing into its second phase. Also in this new phase, SIPRI will continue its long-standing partnership with the Friedrich Stiftung Foundation, with support from the Finnish and Dutch Ministries of Foreign Affairs. The New Geopolitics of Peace Operations II: An African Outlook on Conflict Management will focus on creating a better understanding of the regional security environment in Africa, while also promoting both regional and global dialogue on how to better prepare the international conflict management system for future conflict in Africa. Milestone regional dialogue meetings are set to take place in Abuja, Addis Ababa, Douala, Maputo, and Bamako in 2016.
