Conceptual and Analytical Framework (WP3)

The main objective of WP3 is to provide a conceptual and analytical framework that will facilitate a coherent linking of the theoretical and empirical parts of the project.In particular we will try to provide a framework that will enable our partners to relate conceptually, the practices, structures, and agency, which make up local, state, and regional actors’ peacebuilding relationships. Complex multi-partner and multi-site research of this nature needs to be anchored by common understandings of key terms. This Work Package will work closely with the other substantive Work Packages (4, 5, 6, & 7) and aims to construct a robust yet flexible analytical framework that allows comparative research across cases.
