Call for papers: "Responsible Global Management for Sustainable Peace and Development"

International Conference, 9–10 April 2026, Ibnou Zohr University, Faculty of Legal, Economic, and Social Sciences, Agadir, Morocco

At the heart of the reflections that led to the organization of this event, two major paradoxes have stood out. The first lies in the use of armed violence – often under the guise of restoring or preserving peace – which in reality generates destruction, social fragmentation, and lasting instability. The second is manifested in the frantic quest for well-being, pursued through excessive consumption and production, that, paradoxically, undermine the ecological, social, and psychological foundations of well-being itself – while fueling, directly or indirectly, numerous conflicts. Faced with these contradictions, it is urgent to rethink the foundations of our coexistence. Sustainable peace and development cannot come about without profound awareness and responsible commitment at all levels: both individual and collective.

The objective of this conference – which aims to be resolutely international, intercultural, and interdisciplinary – is not only to reflect and debate together on the potential and limits of responsible management – but also, and above all, to identify or invent new means of concrete action to co-construct sustainable peace and a sustainable future. It aims to:

  • Analyze contemporary changes in global conflicts and crises from the perspective of responsible management;
  • Identify best practices in ethical governance, responsible management, and peace education;
  • Propose avenues for action to strengthen international cooperation and social inclusion, in order to promote greater equity, equality, and justice;
  • Explore the role of universities and research in developing strategies for peace and sustainable development;
  • Promote constructive dialogue between researchers, decision-makers, civil society actors, and the private sector.

Submission deadline for papers in English or French: 15 June 2025
