Call for Teaching Materials for Peace and Business from the Aspen Institute and the Institute for Economics and Peace

The Aspen Institute is seeking teaching materials that discuss peace and business for the new peace portal at caseplace.org.The new portal for peace and economics can be found at: http://caseplace.org/d.asp?d=6172

This portal promotes teaching materials with regards to peace and business. The Aspen Institute is seeking materials that either directly or indirectly discuss peace and business. Many existing business materials may be contributed with the addition of a teaching guide for incorporating the issue of peace.

Some topics to explore are:

• Why is peace good for business and how can if affect business strategy?
• How valuable is peace? Can it be discounted or priced?
• What is the impact of the absence of peace (and therefore the presence of crime and violence) on a company’s cost structure?
• How can we measure levels of peacefulness?
• What factors should business look for when assessing peace?
• What can business do to create more peaceful environments?
• How can companies encourage peace in the workplace and communities?
• How can investors factor peace into their analysis?

If you have any materials that might be relevant, please send me an email at clairebrown@sandiego.edu. Submissions will be considered by the Aspen Institute for inclusion in the portal. Please also visit the portal for teaching materials and feel free to share it with colleagues.
