The Ancient Mediterranean Sea in Modern Visual and Performing Arts
When thinking about the Mediterranean, Fernand Braudel's haunting words resound like an echo of the sea and its millenary history. From Prehistory until today, the Mediterranean has been setting, witness and protagonist of mythical adventures, of encounters with the Other, of battles and the rise and fall of cultures and empires, of the destinies of humans.

It highlights the fact that on one hand, there is a vibrant community of agencies and organizations working in the field of peacebuilding, but on the other hand, there is no overarching structure, little cohesion and extensive fragmentation in the field. The Dossier also advances the idea that the UN can play a much greater role in peacebuilding than currently acknowledged. Designing a Peacebuilding Infrastructure focuses on conflict preve...
