Revisit our ValEUs Lecture The European Union and Peace Mediation: a critical appraisal of values, strategies and policies held on March 20 2026 by Prof. Giovanni Scotto (UniFi) at the University of Florence.
About the Lecture:
The lecture examines the European Union’s evolving role in international peace mediation. Mediation practices take place within the context of a rapidly changing international order. At the same time, EU peace mediation efforts need to address the institutional challenges related to negotiating responses to armed conflicts among the member States.
