Dieter Senghaas Lectures

With this lecture series, the Institute of Intercultural and International Studies (InIIS) and the Landeszentrale für Politische Bildung Bremen are paying tribute to the life and work of the internationally renowned peace and conflict researcher Dieter Senghaas, who has taught at the University of Bremen since 1978 and is a co-founder of the InIIS. With the “civilizational hexagon” he developed, which focuses on the possibilities of peaceful development in and between societies, he has created a paradigm that has made it into the A-level assignments of German students and into the most important textbooks on international relations. His book “Zivilisierung wider Willen” (Civilization Against Will) about the long and difficult process of building sustainable peace in Europe has been translated into numerous languages, including Chinese, Arabic and Korean. His complete works include 35 books written by him as well as 35 other books in which he was involved as editor or co-author.
