How do you deal with a bully without becoming a thug? It’s a question to which Dr Scilla Elworthy might just have an answer. Scilla founded the Oxford Research Group in 1982, a charity and think tank working on peace, security and justice issues. By opening up dialogue between nuclear weapon policy makers and their critics, she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize on three occasions, and became one of the world’s most well-respected activists for peace. Today, with her latest campaign The Business Plan For Peace, inspired by her 2017 book of the same name, Scilla argues that weapons systems no longer make us safe and that the future security of the world depends on collaboration.
