Stakeholders in conflict
- How can the private sector contribute to the peace process?
- The private sector has, at times, been accused of focusing on increasing profits and protecting its interests rather than advancing the cause of peace (see 'DRC'). However can ‘business’, in fact, be an important contributing factor in reaching a peaceful solution to conflict? This paper considers the diverse role the private sector can play in peace processes and argues that they are, in fact, ideally placed to contribute.
