How can peacebuilding efforts transform from quick-fix, one-size-fits-all solutions to a blueprint for sustainable peace? We find out on this episode as host Shelly Kiser, Communications Manager, speaks with Volker Franke, Ph.D., Professor of Conflict Management.

This month, we learn:

• Why peacebuilding needs to be a long-term, not short-term commitment
• What traditional peacebuilding is and how it has failed
• How a sustainable model for peacebuilding is different from traditional peacebuilding
• What the Iraq elections, conflict in Afghanistan and Liberian disarmament can teach us about what works and what doesn鈥檛 in peacebuilding
• The types of students who enter the Ph.D. in International Conflict Management program at KSU and what topics they choose to study
• How Franke is working in Afghanistan to build sustainable peace
