A five day workshop on “Frameworks of Conflict Management” was jointly organised by the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA), New Delhi and the International Peace Research Institute, Oslo (PRIO), Norway at New Delhi between January 7 to 11, 2008.

The workshop was primarily focused on capacity building for civil servants, peace negotiators, army personnel and members of civil society. Presentations focused on both Indian and international experiences in conflict management. The workshop comprised of five sessions, namely, conceptual frameworks of conflict management, insurgencies in India’s North East and the Naxal conflict, the Sami Parliament of Norway, the Northern Ireland Assembly and a Gaming Exercise on Peace Negotiations.
