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.
