Peace and Conflict Studies

Research group How do societies move from war to peace, and which forms of peace emerge as a result? Who benefits and who is marginalized by the new political order? These questions lie at the heart of the research group’s work exploring the multifaceted, uneven, and complex processes of change that characterize post-war transitions. In addition, the research group examines crisis management and civil preparedness, focusing on its organization, outcomes, and effectiveness.
