The main theoretical aim is to develop today existing theory, methods, and instruments for conflict management and prevention. The project also aims at increasing the confidence in- and understanding of conflict management and conflict prevention in the military establishment, political elite, and research community.
This project is not only theoretical but large emphasis is put on the operationalization and implementation of the theoretical findings. Since the project bridge between theorists and practitioners, it allows for a continuous implementation and testing of the relevant theoretical models. In other words, the models of conflict management and prevention is developed for the real-world in a real-world context.
Since 2003 the bulk of the research has been undertaken within a project on Conflict Management in Northeast Asia (see below), which has mainly been funded by the Swedish Research Council.
