Networks

Building Toward Field Coherence

The Institute for Global Peacecraft partners with the world's most influential peace networks, each bringing extraordinary strengths to global peace efforts. Together, we create a comprehensive ecosystem where practical excellence meets theoretical depth, and where diverse approaches unite through shared understanding.

IGP is addressing the foundational question in peace studies—the absence of a unified theoretical framework—through developing an ontological approach that examines how existing peace efforts might operate as complementary rather than competing interventions.

For all 600 of our partner organisations, we offer a unified theoretical framework that illuminates the shared foundations underlying diverse peace approaches, revealing how different interventions create mutually reinforcing dynamics toward the same common objectives.

UN ECOSOC Consultative Status

Contributing Theoretical Innovation to Global Dialogue

Since receiving special consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council in 2021, we have contributed foundational research to ongoing high-level debate and discussion that shapes global peace policy.

The Value of Diverse Voices

The ECOSOC system brings together organizations with different strengths—some offering ground-level insights, others policy expertise, and in our case, theoretical innovation. This diversity strengthens multilateral dialogue.

How We Serve the UN System

The UN excels at coordinating global action and mobilizing resources. We contribute by offering theoretical frameworks that can enrich policy discussions—adding the dimension of foundational peace theory to complement operational and strategic planning.

While many consultative organizations bring vital field experience and advocacy priorities, we offer something complementary: rigorous theoretical frameworks that explore what peace means at its most fundamental level. This adds another layer to UN deliberations without diminishing other essential perspectives.

Alliance for Peacebuilding

Excellence in Field Coordination, Enhanced by Foundational Theory

The Alliance for Peacebuilding stands as the world's premier peacebuilding network—200+ organizations across 181 countries working together to strengthen peace practice globally. Their remarkable Eirene Database, containing 3,381 indicators, represents the field's most comprehensive effort to measure peace outcomes across diverse contexts.

AfP's Extraordinary Impact

Through masterful coordination, AfP has built an unprecedented community of practice. They lead the 100-member Global Fragility Act Coalition, convene PeaceCon (the largest peacebuilding gathering in the United States), and operate dynamic working groups addressing contemporary challenges from digital peacebuilding to electoral violence. Their strength lies in connecting practitioners and elevating field standards.

How We Complement Each Other

AfP excels at gathering and organizing peace practice; we specialize in theoretical synthesis. Since joining their network in 2025, we're exploring how our sentience-based ontological framework for peace can add another dimension to their indicator database—revealing patterns and connections that emerge when practical metrics meet foundational theory.

International Peace Bureau

A Nobel Legacy of Advocacy, Enriched by Theoretical Depth

The International Peace Bureau commands unique moral authority as the world's oldest peace organization and 1910 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Their Global Campaign on Military Spending brilliantly mobilizes 400 member organizations across 100 countries, demonstrating the power of coordinated advocacy.

IPB's Historic Leadership

IPB has masterfully leveraged its Nobel legacy for over a century, maintaining nomination rights for future Peace Prizes and awarding the prestigious Seán MacBride Peace Prize. Their GCOMS campaign has become the gold standard for coordinated peace advocacy, revealing that global military spending reached $2.71 trillion in 2024 while mobilizing massive grassroots response.

How We Strengthen Each Other

IPB brings unmatched advocacy power and moral authority, and since joining in 2025, we contribute theoretical frameworks that can deepen campaign narratives. Our sentience-based approach offers additional ways to articulate why redirecting military spending toward human needs advances peace—adding philosophical depth to IPB's compelling advocacy.

Concerned Philosophers for Peace

Advancing Philosophical Foundations Through Scientific Inquiry

The Concerned Philosophers for Peace (CPP) is the leading association dedicated to exploring the ethical, metaphysical, and epistemological dimensions of peace. For over four decades, CPP has cultivated a rigorous philosophical discourse around justice, violence, and nonviolence, shaping how peace is understood and taught across academia.

CPP’s Distinguished Legacy

CPP’s annual conferences and publications have advanced the field by connecting philosophical reflection with practical peace action. Through themes such as Reframing Wisdom and Decolonizing Peace and publication of their Philosophy of Peace book series, CPP continues to push the boundaries of how peace can be theorised and enacted in a global context.

How We Collaborate

Since presenting at CPP’s 2025 conference, we have joined efforts to bridge philosophy and science in the study of peace. Our collaboration integrates CPP’s rich normative and conceptual tradition with our sentience-based scientific framework, developing methodologies that bring definitional precision and empirical rigour to philosophical inquiry. Together, we are working toward a coherent ontology of peace—uniting ethical reflection, theoretical clarity, and measurable progress.

Network Philosophy

Our partnerships thrive because each organization brings distinctive excellence:

    Complementary Strengths

    We celebrate what each partner does brilliantly while adding our unique dimension.

  • Computer screen displaying analytics dashboards with bar graphs, line charts, and data metrics about user engagement, page load, bounce rate, sessions, and session length.

    Mutual Enhancement

    Theory and practice strengthen each other without hierarchy.

    Respectful Collaboration

    We honor different approaches while exploring synergies.

    Collective Impact

    Together we're stronger than any organization alone.

    Shared Purpose

    Different methods, united vision.

Harmony in coordination

Our network partnerships demonstrate that the peace field's greatest strength lies in its diversity.

AfP's coordination excellence, IPB's advocacy power, and the UN's convening authority—each irreplaceable. We contribute the dimension of foundational theory, not to correct but to complement, to organise, creating a richer harmony where every instrument plays its essential part.
