Peace and International Politics Research Group
The Peace and International Politics (PIP) research group convenes approximately once a month. The disciplinary home of the research group is the intersection of International Relations and Peace Research broadly conceived, and we discuss and read theoretical as well as empirical work.
We invite members to present work in progress at our seminars, and we invite guests as well as discuss topical reading of interest to the group. Members of the PIP research group take part in research projects on a broad range of issues related to international political theory, conflict analysis, ethics, war, peacebuilding, diplomacy, security studies, reconciliation, identity, conflict resolution, gender and peace negotiations. The researchers study global patterns as well as regions and countries, such as the Balkans, Asia, the European Union, South America, the Middle East and Europe.
