Project Journal Issue No. 21 for MSC 2026
Dear friends of peace,
the new issue of our project journal was completed on time for the Munich Security Conference. The past few months have been politically very turbulent. It was challenging to take the latest geopolitical developments into account. We are confident that we have once again succeeded in publishing an exciting and informative project journal. Here is a small preview:
“… what crazy times these are, in which human security is predominantly seen only in terms of strength, power, superiority in weapons, and dangerous threats and deterrence potential? Has the concept of ‘common security’ with each other, rather than against each other (Olof Palme), been completely sacrificed to the logic of war? In addition to the lead article (→ p. 1), which advocates for an international peace movement, other contributions also highlight how dangerous military escalation is in Europe and the USA (→ p. 7), as well as in Gaza (→ p. 5). In this almost hysterical atmosphere of arms frenzy, where many countries are almost doubling their defense spending, does a voice calling for ‘non-violence‘ (→ p. 11) still have a chance to be heard at all? Shouldn’t we all become ‘peace-capable’ instead of ‘war-capable’ to jointly overcome humanity’s existential problems? Fabian Scheidler highlights this urgency in his book ‘Friedenstüchtig‘ (Peace-Capable) (→ p. 15), and therefore it should be discussed primarily in schools, instead of bringing the Bundeswehr into the classroom (→ p. 6). It could also be analyzed how much our so-called ‘rules-based order of the West‘ (→ p. 13) is built on lies and double standards. It remains to be hoped that the peace movement will regain strength to stand up against new intermediate-range missiles (→ p. 14) and the militarization of civil society. Will you join us? Your opinion on this is important to us!”
Don’t miss out on this issue!

Our Munich Peace Meeting 2025
The 7th Munich Peace Meeting (MPM), initiated and organized by MSKv, took place on September 29 and October 21, 2025. Participants from the fields of peace studies, the peace movement, and peace work exchanged views with Dr. Benedikt Franke and other representatives of the MSC on current security and peace policy challenges.
Concrete proposals for the 2026 Security Conference were jointly developed. We are very curious to see what activities the MSC will derive from this.
