Peace
In the week of VE Day, Matthew Sweet discusses what peace has meant since 1945, with David Runciman, Nina Capersen, Gabrielle Rifkind and Ashleigh Percival-Borley.
On the 8th May 1945, the Allies declared victory over Nazi Germany. How has war and the threat of war shaped society in the intervening years? Do 'war' and 'peace' mean the same things, 80 years on?
Matthew Sweet is joined by political scientists David Runciman and Nina Caspersen, peace negotiator Gabrielle Rifkind, historian Ashleigh Percival-Borley
