Many fear that the next big interstate war will begin in Asia, whether as an escalation of pre-existing but unresolved conflicts or by accident and miscalculation. Christine Ahn and Lt Gen (Ret) Dan Leaf, US Air Force have decades of experience working in conflict zones. They have found working together to bring peace and reconciliation in the Asia Pacific region valuable. They will share insights from their individual work in Korea and Vietnam, their collaborations and will talk about the politics and process of ending wars.
