Talking Peace, Exploring Conflict Centre of Religion Reconciliation and Peace - University of Winchester

Prof. Mark Owen talks with Steve Killelea about his book 'Peace in the Age of Chaos' 

'As a global philanthropist, Steve Killelea has laid the foundations to develop an entirely new understanding of peace. As a thought leader, he has reshaped the entire concept to recognise its integrity to the revival of our economic and political systems. Few have provoked global thought amongst both policymakers and members of the public quite to the extent of Steve. An international entrepreneur behind the global think tank, the Institute for Economics and Peace, he combines a highly successful career in technology with a philanthropic focus on peace and sustainable development to shed new light on issues, from terrorism and conflict to economics and prosperity.'
