Balancing the Security Toolkit: A Peacebuilding Perspective
Dr. Lisa Schirch, Eastern Mennonite University
Lisa Schirch is working with a variety of partner organizations in Washington D.C. on a campaign to promote a balanced security toolkit that includes peacebuilding approaches. Building on what President Bush calls the 3 Ds of security: defense, development, and diplomacy, Dr. Schirch will analyze Secretary Rice’s new “transformational diplomacy” initiative to bring development and diplomacy into accord with national security concerns, and explain how the 3D security campaign will promote development and Track II diplomacy within this new framework.
