Conflicts and disagreements are part of everyday life in families, workplaces and societies. The same underlying dynamics shape tensions at all levels, from personal relationships to international affairs. 'Prescriptions for Peace' is a series of short videos that explores these dynamics through interviews with CMI’s experts. The series is produced by CMI in collaboration with the Nordic pharmaceutical company Orion Pharma. CMI retains full editorial responsibility for the content. Elisa Tarnaala: "A peace agreement is rarely the product of a single intervention; it emerges from a complex interplay of power politics, national dynamics, local support, and individual commitment. Lasting peace is only possible when those involved see it as their own and are willing to transform the dynamics of conflict and revenge. External actors can help open doors and support dialogue, but a peace that is not rooted in local ownership and legitimacy is likely to remain fragile."
