Dieter Senghaas, a prominent authority in conflict research and management, highlights the remarkable transformation in the OECD world, particularly within the European Union, where violent conflict has become largely unthinkable over the past fifty years. This shift fosters his optimism regarding the potential for lasting peace globally, despite the ongoing violent conflicts in various regions. Senghaas's insights emphasize the prerequisites necessary for achieving enduring peace and the lessons that can be drawn from historical progress.
