CPCS Papers

Sculpture of Globe outside UNThe Centre seeks to synthesize empirical data with sophisticated theoretical analyses aimed at the provision of discursive, theoretical and policy insights (as opposed to guidelines). The unifying focus of its research lies in a critique of mainstream debates about dealing with conflict and building peace, in the light of the Coxian notion that theory can be problem-solving or emancipatory, laden with agendas related to actors' interests and objectives.

The intention is to establish a recognisably coherent and innovative agenda for conflict research and to build connections with other related sub disciplines. The objective is to act as a forum for theoretical advancement and for accounts of case studies where important lessons can be learned about conflict and its redressal.

In keeping with these aims and objectives, the Centre encourages the production of relevant research papers, a sample of which may be downloaded below.
