Dr. Lisa Schirch, professor of peacebuilding at EMU's Center for Justice and Peacebuilding, participated in a
closed-door meeting on Afghanistan policy at the White House on Thursday, November 18.
This was a result of Lisa's tremendous work as director of the 3D Security Initiative.
Lisa describes 3D Security in a 70-second video clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbkP7U1TpJk. It appears that this is one group of peace makers that is actually being listened to.
They make some very down to earth suggestions in their policy brief on Afghanistan that can be found on the
