Tientallen UGent-medewerkers die op enthousiaste én correcte wijze ons opleidingsaanbod toelichten en vragen beantwoorden. Duizenden jongeren die willen weten en een betrouwbaar kompas aangereikt krijgen. De @UGent is een universiteit om trots op te zijn. Een place to be. ❤️
We identified opportunities for collaboration with The University of Chicago and its hub in Paris in particular. We established concrete links, involving all @UGent faculties and our university services as well. We had a great meeting with the leadership of @UChicago Paris.
CRG celebrated its 20 years of existence in 2022. It was founded with the aim of providing grounded analyses of the local dynamics of civil conflicts as they unfold.
Rather than analyzing what explains the beginning of such conflicts and what is needed to prevent them, we look at the larger social dynamics of which they are part. To that end, we conduct long-term field research drawing mostly on qualitative research methods in a variety of locations around the world.
Our Research
Our research is structured around four main clusters: Spaces of conflict: offers a spatial approach to the study of dynamics of violence, war and peace, Contested resources: focuses on the politicization of contested resource access, Armed politics: analyzes the different political actors, processes and outcomes of armed mobilization and Interventions: studies the practice, legitimization, implementation, and consequences of international interventions.
This thematic cluster analyzes the different political actors, processes and outcomes of armed mobilization.
