- Oct 1710:30 AMBook Launch: "Sanctions for Nuclear Disarmament and Non-Proliferation: Moving Forward"Peter Wallensteen, the Kroc Institute’s Richard G. Starmann Sr. Research professor emeritus, will discuss his new book, Sanctions for Nuclear Disarmament and Non-Proliferation: Moving Forward (Routledge, 2024). Co-edited with Uppsala University’s Armend Bekaj and appearing in Routledge’s Global Security Studies series, the volume examines the interplay between sanctions and nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation. Specifically, it studies the conceptual frameworks behind the application of sanctions and the decision by states to pursue nuclear disarmament in their theoretical and practical expressions. Wallensteen’s contribution does much to update and stimulate the academic and policy debates on these issues by recasting them in light of contemporary global events, and considering case studies from the EU, Latin America and the Caribbean, India, China, Pakistan, Iran, and Africa. This book launch will take the form of a panel discussion, moderated by George Lopez, Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., professor emeritus of peace studies, who authored one of the book’s chapters, “Sanctions as tools to achieve nuclear reduction policy: is there a better way forward?” Responses to the book will come from Kelsey Davenport, director for nonproliferation policy at the Arms Control Association, and Monica Montgomery (BA '19), policy analyst at the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, and members of Kroc’s Advisory Board who have worked extensively on nuclear disarmament. All are encouraged to attend the launch of this significant volume, which will be of particular interest to students of nuclear non-proliferation, economic sanctions, security studies, and international relations. Lunch will be provided after the event in the Hesburgh Center Great Hall. Originally published at kroc.nd.edu.
- Oct 191:00 PMThe Met Opera Live in HD: "Grounded" (Tesori)Two-time Tony Award-winning composer Jeanine Tesori's powerful new opera Grounded, commissioned by the Met and based on librettist George Brant's acclaimed play, wrestles with the ethical quandaries and psychological toll of 21st-century warfare. Mezzo-soprano Emily D'Angelo, one of opera's most compelling young stars, portrays Jess, a hot-shot fighter pilot whose unplanned pregnancy takes her out of the cockpit and lands her in Las Vegas, operating a Reaper drone halfway around the world. As she struggles to adjust to this new way of doing battle, she fights to maintain her sanity, and her soul, as she is called to rain down death by remote control. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin oversees the Met premiere of Tesori's kaleidoscopic score and a cast that also features tenor Ben Bliss as the Wyoming rancher who becomes Jess's husband. Michael Mayer's high-tech staging, using a vast array of LED screens, presents a variety of perspectives on the action, including the drone's predatory view from high above. GET TICKETS

- Oct 2912:30 PMLecture: "Are Latin American Bureaucrats Democrats? Politics, Technocratic Orientation, and Democracy"Scott MorgensternProfessor of Political ScienceUniversity of Pittsburgh Given their role in implementing policy and executive orders, bureaucrats are uniquely positioned to respond to executive overreach. Their attitudes toward democracy, however, have avoided significant scrutiny. This talk thus explores their commitment to democracy using an original survey of nearly 12,000 Latin American bureaucrats. To explain the likelihood of their commitment to democracy, the focus is on technocratic orientation, their alignment with the president, and the level of and change in the country’s democratic context.

- Nov 53:30 PMLecture — "From Partition to Partnership: The Future of Ireland's Peace Process"As part of the Keough-Naughton Institute's fall 2024 speaker series, Emma DeSouza, founder and co-facilitator of The Civic Initiative, will give a lecture titled, "From Partition to Partnership: The Future of Ireland's Peace Process.” Lecture Abstract The Good Friday Agreement is globally recognized as one of the most successful peace agreements of the last century. Its success was the culmination of decades of civic-led cross-community efforts, tilling the ground for a landslide 'Yes' vote. Emma DeSouza considers how civic society remains the backbone of the peace process today. As a new generation emerges, unburdened by the historically entrenched concepts of identity which came to define prior generations, civic society, and the young people within it, are creating a new path. This lecture explores the changing demographics and dynamics in Northern Ireland, the future of the peace process, and the prospects of a united Ireland. Speaker Biography Emma DeSouza is a journalist, campaigner, and peace builder who changed UK law in a landmark human rights case relating to the Good Friday Agreement. She is the founder and co-facilitator of deliberative democracy platform The Civic Initiative, Director of the Northern Ireland Emerging Leaders Program at the National Committee on American Foreign Policy, and a transatlantic adviser on peace processes and civic innovation. Emma writes for several publications including the Guardian, Irish Times, Irish News, and Byline Times. In 2023, she hosted a limited podcast series on the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement titled 'Lost in Implementation.' This event is co-sponsored by the Klau Institute for Civil and Human Rights. Originally published at irishstudies.nd.edu.
- Nov 64:00 PMBook Launch — "Victims-Centred Peacemaking: Colombia's Santos-FARC-EP Peace Talks"In this event, professor in the School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies, and director of the Global Insecurities Centre, at the University of Bristol, Roddy Brett will present his monograph, Victim-Centred Peacemaking: Colombia’s Santos-FARC-EP Peace Process (Bristol University Press, 2024), which he wrote during his time as Kroc Institute visiting fellow (2022–23). The book addresses the fundamental question of how, in the face of unrelenting barbary and adversity, survivors of political violence and atrocity have sought to assert agency and contest power as they painstakingly forge a path through which to bring an end to political violence, craft the effective means through which to reckon with the past, and reconstitute their political and moral communities. The book is, in part, about how war is fought, what its impact is, particularly on civilians, and the means that armed groups employ in order to achieve their ends. It is also about how those who survive atrocious violence narrate and make sense of war and attempt to construct peace, and, in so doing, transform political subjectivity, shape formal peacemaking processes and accountability mechanisms, and reconfigure relations of power. Based on unique empirical research into Colombia’s Santos-FARC-EP peace process (2012-2016), this book interrogates, specifically, how, if at all, survivors and victims may assert agency and contribute to formal peacemaking and transitional justice initiatives. The research argues that victim inclusion — through the so-called victims’ delegations — meaningfully transformed victim-perpetrator relations and dynamics in Havana, while partially shaping the content of both the Victims’ Agreement and Final Agreement. As such, the delegations created paths for empowerment at the individual and, in part, collective levels. However, victim inclusion also precipitated experiences of victim depoliticization, revictimization, retraumatization and instrumentalization. Drawing on insights from across academic disciplines, the book proposes an instrumentalization/empowerment spectrum to analyze the complex impact of victim-centered approaches to peacemaking/transitional justice, and is valuable for both researchers and practitioners. Brett will be joined by Kroc Institute PhD student, Patrick McQuestion (peace studies and political science) and visiting scholar, Alison Ribeiro de Menezes as respondents. Josefina Echavarría Alvarez, professor of the practice and director of the Peace Accords Matrix (PAM) will provide opening remarks. This event is cosponsored by the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies. Originally published at kroc.nd.edu.
- Nov 712:30 PMLecture — "Burning Iraq: Reckoning with Military Injustice"The Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies and the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies, in partnership with its Southwest Asia and North Africa (SWANA) Working Group, as part of the Keough School of Global Affairs, proudly offer a four-part lecture series over the 2024–25 academic year. The series focuses on U.S. imperialism and U.S. military and humanitarian involvement in the Middle East, and in particular Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan. Graduate students serve as discussants after each lecture, prior to Q&A with the audience. The series conducts a critical evaluation of U.S. policy in the Middle East and calls for a reassessment of the nature and function of a U.S. presence, and the implications posed for peacebuilding practitioners and contemporary global affairs scholarship. The United States used "burn pits" to dispose of military waste on its bases in Iraq and Afghanistan. These massive incineration fields caused respiratory illness, cancer, and death for thousands of soldiers. Iraqi and Afghan communities continue to endure the consequences of exposure to burn pits as just one form of harm to their health and livelihoods. Recently returned from fieldwork in Fallujah, Iraq, cultural anthropologist and assistant professor of anthropology at Purdue University Kali Rubaii reports back on the condition of Iraq's environment, 20 years since the 2003 U.S. invasion. Her talk poses the question: What are the routes to justice and accountability for the most privatized war in human history? Originally published at kroc.nd.edu.
