The Pearson Global Forum

As conflicts begin and protract, we reflected on how negotiations can engender agreements that bring about stability and peace. How have successful peace agreements fared in the years following their implementation and where can lessons be applied to existing conflicts? This year’s Forum, Negotiation & Agreement, dove into conflicts of past and present, and analyzed steps towards a peaceful future. At The Pearson Institute, our mission is to convene international leaders and world-renowned academics at The Pearson Global Forum to explore rigorous research and analysis to influence solutions, strategies, and policies for reducing and mitigating conflict to achieve a more peaceful world.
