Background
Recognised as research committee in 2025.
Objectives
The Research Committee on Global Peaceful Change, sponsored by the global Research Network on Peaceful Change (GRENPEC), will primarily investigate the transformation of global and regional orders and examine the conditions for “peaceful change.” In a period of major transitions in international affairs, the new RC will explore how global and regional orders evolve through non-coercive means such as diplomatic negotiations, institutional reforms, and shifts in normative frameworks. The concept of peaceful change will be a core analytical perspective for this Research Committee.
