An evening where peace research becomes urgent contemporary reading
In the S-Forum of the Augsburg City Library, political analysis meets public debate: On June 16, 2026, the Peace Report 2026 titled The New Warlords. Containing Dynamics of Violence! will be presented. Christopher Daase, co-editor of the report and professor of International Relations at Goethe University Frankfurt as well as deputy executive board member of PRIF, will contextualize the findings and open an evening filled with reading, discussion, and analytical focus.
When war, peace, and security are re-negotiated
This year’s report examines a world order where great power politics, violent conflicts, and fragile peace orders intersect. States increasingly act like warlords, transitions from violence to peace are treated as deals, and technological innovation exacerbates uncertainty. For this reason, the presentation of the Peace Report unfolds a special literary quality in the broader sense: It makes complex political reality understandable, precise, and controversial.
A scientific text with public relevance
The Peace Report is published annually in collaboration with the four German peace research institutes bicc, IFSH, INEF, and PRIF. It consolidates expertise in international security, development cooperation, arms control, and conflict prevention. Visitors to this evening will experience not just a presentation of theses but an author encounter with one of the defining figures in German peace research.
The venue: City Library as a forum for dialogue
The Augsburg City Library at Ernst-Reuter-Platz 1 is the largest public library in the city and features the S-Forum on the ground floor for events such as readings, conferences, and workshops. The venue suits the event: open, central, urban, and designed for exchange. This creates a reading atmosphere where political education and cultural public life interact directly.
Why attending is worthwhile
Christopher Daase combines scientific authority with clear language and political contemporary analysis. The presentation of the Peace Report opens perspectives on the international situation, on the crisis of multilateral cooperation, and on possibilities for action for politics and society. Those interested in peace policy, current diagnosis, and societal responsibility will find an intense literary-political experience in the format of public debate.
Conclusion: This evening promises not light fare but intellectual precision, current relevance, and a strong reading atmosphere. Anyone wanting to understand how peace can be conceptualized and defended today should experience the presentation of the Peace Report 2026 live in Augsburg.
