Despite widespread acceptance of the importance of conflict sensitivity, particularly in contexts of crisis, there has been a surprising lack of critical discussion of the framework and its application. This book fills this gap by bringing together articles, practice notes and reflections from conflict sensitivity academics and practitioners. It provides a platform for debate, highlighting strengths, areas for improvement and practical guidance for real- world application, based on 25 years of practice and innovation. The book aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice, whilst advocating for the systematic integration of conflict sensitivity into humanitarian, development and peacebuilding efforts. It offers guidance for practitioners, as well as serving as a springboard for further academic research in the area. It was originally published as a special issue of Development in Practice.

Join us at 5.00pm on Monday 3rd November, at the Larkin Room, St. Johns College, followed by a drinks reception, to hear from the editors and contributors about current challenges, trends and opportunities related to conflict sensitivity in humanitarian, development and peacebuilding action. The discussion will be insightful for practitioners, researchers and policy makers alike. Open-access articles and full volume available here.
