My interest is in conflict issues, broadly mirroring the remit of the new all-party group on conflict issues within the UK parliament [1] which aims to "encourage dialogue, on the basis of expert information and opinion from across the political spectrum, on issues relating to conflict; especially on the practical means to prevent, transform and resolve violent conflict."

'Conflict issues' is a multi-displinary area and I have no claim to expertese in any of the relevant disciplines. I am just one of a group of concerned citizens who wanted politicians and experts to get together and listen to each other.

In summer 2006 we started to experiment with setting up a wiki. But then it seemd that a 'project' within wikipedia might be better. I was just starting to learn how such things worked when I heard of citzendium, which seems better still.

I have created an article stub (Conflict issues (U.K. Parliament) - so named at Larry Sanger's suggestion) so that the talk page of that article might be used as to plan a series of articles broadly mirroring the remit of the parliamentary group.
