Field Report

My core objectives with this project are: to provide a broad and theoretically well-grounded understanding of the formal and informal institutions, on the local, national, transnational and regional level, that are the best suited to prevent the escalation of conflict and maintain peace; to develop an in-depth understanding of how political, economic, social and cultural factors interact to create high-risk and conflict-prone conditions that facilitate violent radicalisation and which constellations of these factors are most conductive to creating a stable and safe environment for citizens by avoiding radicalisation and violent conflict; and to provide clear and specific policy recommendations of how to create and modify institutions that mitigate the risk of radicalisation and conflict escalations given a particular set-up of specific political, economic, social and cultural conditions.
