DESCRIPTION:How have different societies in different eras addressed the l
 egacies of conflict? What did peace mean in 5th-4th century BC Athens? Wha
 t forms did peace take along the Silk Road? How do we engage with negative
  and positive peace in the 21st century? Across the contemporary political
  arena autocrats\, populists\, and democrats alike are renegotiating the p
 ast. Conflict looms under the surface. In the quest to manage conflict\, w
 e often examine the lessons of war. But what are the lessons of peace? Joi
 n us for an engaging discussion on the reality and rhetoric of peace and i
 ts reinvention through history.\nSpeakers:\nPeter Frankopan (University of

DESCRIPTION:Peter Frankopan (Director of the Oxford Centre for Byzantine R
 esearch\, University of Oxford) will discuss his new book The Silk Roads: 
 A New History of the World with Averil Cameron (Former Professor of Late A
 ntique and Byzantine History\, University of Oxford) and Robert Moore (Pro
 fessor Emeritus of History\, Newcastle University). The discussion will be
  introduced by Elleke Boehmer (Acting TORCH Director and Professor of Worl
 d Literature\, University of Oxford).\n\nAbout the book\nPeter Frankopan's
  book is a major reassessment of world history\, and is an important accou
 nt of the forces that have shaped the global economy and the political ren
 aissance in the re-emerging east. For centuries\, fame and fortune was to 
 be found in the west – in the New World of the Americas. Today\, it is t
 he east which calls out to those in search of adventure and riches. The re
 gion stretching from eastern Europe and sweeping right across Central Asia
  deep into China and India\, is taking centre stage in international polit
 ics\, commerce and culture – and is shaping the modern world.\n\nReviews
 \n‘The time is ripe for this new history of the world\, which places the
  emphasis firmly on the east\, from eastern Europe to India and China. A j
 ourney along the Silk Road\, from the birth of the world's ancient religio
 ns to contemporary international politics.’ - Daily Telegraph\n‘A book
  of dazzling range\, ambition and achievement’ - William Dalrymple\n‘M
 any books have been written which claim to be a New History of the World. 
 This one fully deserves the title.’ - The Times\n\nFree and all welcome.
  A light sandwich lunch will be available from 12:45\, and sandwiches can 
 be taken into the discussion. No advance booking required\, please just co
 me along and seats will be allocated on a first-come\, first-served basis.
