Aim
The Anna Lindh Programme was initiated in 2004 with the support of the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation. Through a series of annual publications, the programme aims to develop the debate on conflict prevention and to promote a more active role for the EU as a global player in this field, providing a platform for a structured dialogue between actors from the public and private spheres, civil society and academia. It follows closely important steps being taken in this area by the UN and the EU, most notably in view to support the European Security Strategy adopted by the European Council in December 2003.
This programme bears the name of the late Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh, as a token of appreciation for her wholehearted efforts in developing a stronger role for Europe in conflict prevention, and to build up - as she phrased it - ‘a culture of conflict prevention’.

ENERGY & CONFLICT PREVENTION BEYOND ZERO-SUM POLITICS: FRAMEWORKS FOR DELIVERING GLOBAL CLIMATE AND ENERGY SECURITY
The Energy and Conflict Prevention book launch, held on December 11th, 2007, involved over 50 participants from the private and government sector, including representatives from the European Commission, the European Council, the European NGO community, the private sector (including StatoilHydro and SOCAR of Azerbaijan), media, and diplomatic missions and embassies in Brussels. The publication was presented by EWI Vice President and Director of the Global Security Program Dr. Greg Austin; Senior Expert of the Energy Charter Secretariat Pascal Laffont; and the Executive Director of the Madariaga European Foundation, Marie Ange Schellekens-Gaiffe. The main topic of discussion revolved on the urgent need to reduce international tension on energy security issues while addressing the open divides between energy-exporting and energy-importing states and hidden tensions between ‘developed’ energy importers (North America, Europe, and Japan) and ‘emerging’ energy importers (China, India, developing Asia and Africa). This divide is a major threat that should not be ignored by key political and business decision-makers. Partners: Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Fund |
