the last decade and a half, Australia has become increasingly involved with a
range of fragile states seeking to transition from conflict to a stable
developing society with institutionalized non-violent political processes. This
international conference will bring together a range of academics, civil
society representatives, policy makers, practitioners and NGO participants to
analyse the lessons learnt internationally about this most challenging and
important issue. This year’s conference aims to build upon the success of
an international workshop on a similar theme held in 2010, which attracted
participants from civil societies in various parts of the Asia Pacific, the
Government of Timor-Leste, several Australian universities, the Australian
Parliament, the Australian Federal Police the , Australian Bureau of
Statistics, the Australian Defence Force and international development
organisations.</span><span lang=EN style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif";
