Our researchers investigate the dynamics and impact of conflicts using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Drawing mostly from anthropology, political science, economics, and history, we conduct long-term fieldwork research, surveys, and randomized controlled trials as well as evaluations and commissioned work.

Our research and evaluation expertise:

  • War and soldiering
  • Armed groups and insurgencies
  • Sexual violence in conflict
  • Conflict and minorities
  • Humanitarian-military interventions
  • Post-war reconstruction and state-building

 

Our researchers work in several geographical regions including the Middle East, Central and South Asia, South-East Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Europe. We collaborate with selected partners and our work is characterized by in-depth country expertise.
