Abstract

This paper explores the relationship between health initiatives and peace initiatives in the context of armed conflict. Our working definition of a “Health‐Peace Initiative” (HPI) is any initiative that intends to improve the health of people and that simultaneously heightens that group's level of peace, whether this peace is internal to the group or between the group and one or more other groups. We seek to identify multiple tracks to peace within a global analysis, arguing that HPIs should comprise an additional “track” in terms of their utility to the peace process. We offer examples of various kinds of HPIs already in use throughout the world.
