Peacebuilding and disinformationTaking stock and planning ahead
Disinformation is a global challenge that undermines trust within societies and, ultimately, peace. This study investigates how peacebuilders can help combat disinformation by using their expertise in conflict analysis, mediation, and dialogue. It also explores the role of technology in spreading disinformation and identifies opportunities for peacebuilders to intervene. The study emphasises the need for them to focus on addressing the root causes of both disinformation and conflict, rather than simply responding to their symptoms. It advocates for incorporating cognitive science into peacebuilding efforts and for adopting a more interdisciplinary approach to tackle these complex issues.
