Die neue FriEnt-Publikation zu Wirtschaft und Frieden untersucht, wie das Verhalten von Unternehmen dazu beitragen kann Gewaltrisiken zu lindern, Fragilität zu reduzieren und Frieden zu fördern.

Economic development is an important basis for peace and the actors in this field are numerous and diverse. However, economic development does not automatically bring peace.

To avoid this, unconventional approaches by economic actors in cooperation with peacebuilding actors are needed. Only in this way can the “development-peace link” function sustainably.
