BWPI, HCRI and IDPM are leading centres of research and teaching at The University of Manchester. Working in the closely related fields of poverty, conflict and development, we explore and analyse the complex and difficult areas of inequality, peace and progress. This lecture is the third in a series of such events and aims to provide a forum in which these issues can be considered and discussed.
