Why the Change?

For years, the Peace and Conflict Science Institute (PACS) was dedicated to a single, critical inquiry: Why does the global peace field lack a shared definition of its central goal?

We diagnosed the problem: thousands of organizations working from incompatible assumptions, leading to fragmented efforts and fragile results. We realized that before we can build peace, we must first agree on the blueprint.

From "Science" to "Craft"

We have completed our diagnostic phase. We are no longer just studying the lack of coherence in the field; we are providing the solution.

The Institute for Global Peacecraft (IGP) exists to provide the intellectual infrastructure the world has been missing. We are moving beyond asking "What is peace?" to implementing a sentience-based framework—a unified theory that allows nations, NGOs, and institutions to engineer sustainable peace with the same rigour used in statecraft.

Peacecraft is:

• Engineering, not just intent: Moving from "wishing for peace" to constructing the specific conditions for collective flourishing.

• Unified, not fragmented: Providing the "GPS" that allows diverse peace actors to coordinate their efforts.

• Foundational: Building the conceptual ground for the next generation of international institutions.
