Peacebuilding and the Private Sector: A Multidisciplinary Approach in Bosnia-Herzegovina

A sociopsychologist, a lawyer, an engineer and an urban planner walk into a room. This is not the setup to a riddle, but an innovative multidisciplinary approach to peacebuilding.

Peace has long been approached through high level peace agreements and rational plans for growth. But, it is high time for a new approach: locally led multidisciplinary teams that jointly define needs and action, with a strong role for the private sector and with mental health included in reconstruction.

But how can we set up inclusive multidisciplinary teams? How can we produce joint analyses and action in a divided country like Bosnia-Herzegovina?

In this episode, we discuss a new report published by MIRCURY on the "Multidisciplinary Method - Innovative Approach for Sustainable Peace: Connecting People, Power, and Prosperity." We will discuss the report with Patrick de Vries (MIRCURY), who further developed this multidisciplinary approach, and Vjekoslav Domljan (Sarajevo School of Science and Technology), who has a leading role in translating this to the Bosnian context.
