title = {The Military Contribution to the Prevention of Violent Conflict},
year = {2017},
note = {The Understand to Prevent (U2P) process arises from the changing
nature of armed conflict, which is prompting NATO forces to adapt to
new challenges. U2P argues that military effort must shift away from
crisis response and towards persistent, modulated engagement that
seeks to manage conflict, prevent violence and build peace. The new
challenges presented by contemporary hybrid conflicts require smart
responses by NATO’s military operators and planners to be able to
act in the gray zone between war and peace. Key is the need for
military actors to develop a common understanding with others working
towards the same ends and, where possible, to design with them
complementary preventive actions and structures. To apply this new
approach, military actors must extend their competences to become
capable in the non-violent management of conflict as well as
war-fighting.},
