Abstract

Numerous organizations have battled for global peace and stability since the end of World War II. The difficult situation in Ukraine turned into an armed conflict in February 2022 when Russia launched a military offensive, despite efforts by organizations and world leaders to prevent it. This essay will look at the conflict prevention efforts made by the European Union (EU) and the Organization for Security and Co-operation (OSCE) concerning the war in Ukraine. The notion behind conflict prevention measures is supported by a study done by the Carnegie organization. The analysis findings show that both companies employ strategies from Carnegie's conflict-prevention theory. None of the organizations use all seven metrics from the theory, resulting in two different centers of gravity for the measurements. Conclusions can be taken from the various organizational types and their capacity to employ various tactics.
