our purpose

Better information can support better choices.

When governments go to war, ordinary citizens often have little say. Research and public opinion can help peace organizations show what people think, make the case for alternatives, and help those voices be heard. Nigel Holloway, Director of the Holloway Forum, has 23 years of experience leading more than 100 targeted research programs to accomplish wide-ranging objectives in the fields of business and public policy.

Meet Nigel Holloway

Experience directed toward the common good.

For 23 years, Nigel Holloway has worked with clients to reach their communication goals by tailoring research and content for target audiences and policy objectives. In 2026, he focused on helping peace organizations pursue their strategies for a better world. This means applying for the common good the skills gained from his time as a communications strategist and 25 years as a journalist at organizations such as the BBC and The Economist, working in six continents.

This idea began in 2016 when Nigel interviewed David Harland, executive director of the Center for Humanitarian Dialogue, which specializes in the mediation of armed conflict. The article appeared in Knowledge at Wharton, an online magazine. He was impressed that David and his organization were less interested in pontification and more in implementation, taking practical steps to further peace around the world.

How can we help peacebuilders achieve their objectives? In the court of public opinion. Consider the lack of influence of ordinary citizens when their governments go to war, even in supposed democracies. As Margaret MacMillan writes in the New York Times, "The very existence of international public opinion can still put pressure on our leaders."

Opinion polls are one method of showing not just how unpopular war is, but how often governments make the wrong tradeoffs between conflict and peace. As Nigel noted in Knowledge at Wharton, the world spent 2,000 times more on its armed forces than on conflict mediation, if you include the peacemaking work of the UN and of regional and national organizations. In the past 10 years, the gap has grown even wider.

If citizens' voices were heard more clearly and loudly, there would be stronger checks on warmongering. Let us explore together how to make this happen.
