What Do We Know About Entrepreneurship and Peace? And What Do We Need to Find Out?
The relationship between business and peace has long been a topic of interest to a variety of scholars, both within management studies and in other fields such as political science and peace studies. The business for peace (B4P) literature has gained a lot of traction, with a number of important articles highlighting how business might have positive effects on peace.

Yet, the role of entrepreneurship in conflict and peace remains largely unknown.
How to Navigate Reputational Risks in the Ukraine Crisis
Companies have had to make billion-dollar decisions in recent days that would normally take weeks, pulling entire operations out of Russia and closing plants and factories in protest.

The Power of Community Partnerships in Times of Crisis
Rodrigo Lopez plucked the deep-red coffee cherries with his calloused hand, dropping them a handful at a time into a burlap bag. Nestled nearly a mile above sea level, Lopez’s farm in the Andes mountains of Colombia has the perfect climate and soil for coffee.

The Small and the Vulnerable: Captive Companies in Conflict Zones
The most recent Report of the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights centered around business and human rights in conflict zones. The Working Group noted for the first time in its history the unique problem of companies that are “captive”. “Captive” companies (s. E.4) are placed alongside armed non-state actors (s. E.1), gender (s E.2),[1] and responsible exit (s. E.3) as additional considerations in conflict contexts that are all underexamined for one reason or another.

But I’ve structured this piece in such a way that you can read them in any order you like and they will still make sense.

Business, Human Rights and Peace: Linking the Academic Conversation
Abstract The fields of business and human rights (BHR) and business for peace (B4P) have overlaps in how they view business in society and in their multidisciplinary nature. This paper seeks to build on the work of BHR scholars in connecting with the B4P scholarly community, to bridge the divide by explaining the elements of the B4P literature that might be of interest for BHR scholars, and to describe a joint research agenda for scholars in both fields.
