Research

The Statehood & Conflict program is home to three research projects that look from different angles at how state and non-state institutions of social and political regulation are formed, how they change over time and how they interact with conflict. The Program participates in academic conferences and provides academic and policy publications.

Consultancies

swisspeace provides tailor made services to actors working in post-conflict settings where social and political structures have a significant influence on the outcome of interventions and vice versa. Based on in-depth knowledge gathered through field research and on the conceptual reflections developed on the dynamics of states in conflict settings, swisspeace provides support to organizations that implement projects with local authorities in fragile contexts. Our services range from contract research to program- or project-based consulting and evaluation in topics such as decentralization, elections, post-conflict state rebuilding and the role traditional authorities. See a list of  swisspeace consultancies
