Transitions Conference
Issues, Challenges and Solutions
16-18 November 2010
Carlisle Barracks, PA
"TRANSITIONS: Issues, Challenges and Solutions" was a three-day international conference hosted by the US Army Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute at the US Army War College in historic Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. It brought together over 140 key thinkers and practitioners from academia, civil society, government, and the military in an open forum to explore, examine, and understand "transitions" as a crucial process during recovery from crisis and conflict.
Thank you to all our co-sponsors, panelists, speakers, and conference attendees — your active participation, your insights, and your enthusiasm made the conference a success!
The primary product of the conference is an edited text on transitions that will include the accepted papers along with the results of panel discussions, small-group sessions, and other insights gained from the conference. It will be published in early 2011.
We will maintain this web page until the text is released. Here you will find:
- links to biographical information for our speakers and panelists
- a conference photo gallery
- links to the websites of our co-sponsors
- video clips from panelist interviews and footage from the conference (we will post these individually here as they are completed - check back often)
- copies of slide presentations from selected panelists
