This latest Managing Exits from Armed Conflict (MEAC) Research into Action report examines the operations and limitations of peace systems in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

Multi-tiered peace systems, comprising institutions and mechanisms from hyper-local to state and regional, work to mitigate and resolve conflicts throughout the region.

Through a conversation with Dr. Ahram, the report summarizes this academic research, distils its policy implications, and proposes practical and realistic approaches to conflict resolution beyond MENA.
