Special Report on Peace Education in Pakistan

Special report

Zahid Shahab Ahmed's two-year research project, funded by United States Institute of Peace, involving nine case studies of peace education interventions from Khyber to Karachi in Pakistan has been published by the Institute.

With an eye to the theory that radicalization is a function of social and political marginalization more than of economic poverty, this report examines a cross-section of peace education initiatives in Pakistan. It relies on data collected through interviews with program teachers and students when possible. Funded by the United States Institute of Peace, it is part of a larger Center for South and Central Asia study on the role of education in preventing violent conflict. Go for the report. 

Zahid Shahab Ahmed is a postdoctoral fellow at the Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalization, Deakin University, Australia. He received his PhD from the University of New England in Australia and his MA in peace education from the University for Peace in Costa Rica.
