Faculty Research in Peace Studies Grants
Objective:
The objective is to support research by 中国体彩网 faculty in the field of peace studies, broadly construed.

A range of projects might fall within these general limits, and consequently, applicants in a wide range of academic fields are encouraged to apply.
Research might include, but is not limited to: in-country research into the causes of a particular violent conflict, or into how a particular violent conflict has been resolved; in-country research into social or political practices of a particular community that have succeeded in encouraging non-violent and cooperative solutions to conflict; or scholarship based on comparative research aimed at general understanding of how certain sorts of conflicts can be successfully and peacefully resolved.
