PACSIA INSIGHT
Conflict Mapping in post
conflict cultural contexts
Our research focuses on the causes of violent conflict, on conflict prevention, conflict transformation and peacebuilding at the sub-national and local level of societies. We have a particular interest in the interface and interaction of local Indigenous and introduced Western forms of knowing about conflict and peace, and of shaping political community in post-colonial and post-conflict situations.
We recognise and value non-western local approaches
Practice Insight
The Autonomous Region of Bougainville in Papua New Guinea was ravaged by terrible violent conflict in the 1990s. This was followed by a successful process of peacebuilding, with a Peace Agreement in 2001 and a Referendum on independence in 2019.
