Furthermore, Japan, considered to be a leading donor for peacebuilding assistance until recently, is finding itself as a recipient of the reconstruction assistance for the first time since the end of the World War II after the Great East Japan Earthquake in March of this year. These global, regional and local development have prompted us, Hiroshima University Partnership Project for Peacebuilding and Capacity Development(HiPeC-II) and the Global COE Program of the University of Tokyo, "Development and Systematization of Death and Life Studies" to jointly hold the International Conference on "Peace from Disasters". This Conference aims to integrate the perspectives from academic scholars, peacebuilding practitioners and civil society activists from different countries and localities to explore the ways of building peace and reconstruction from various human and/or natural disasters across communities, countries and continents.
