Conflict Prevention and Conflict Management in Haiti: Insight from Marginalized Communities
Project financed by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
This project has its focus on local capacities for the prevention of violence in Haiti. The objective is to identify models of conflict prevention rooted in Haitian traditions or adaptable to the Haitian context.The project is divided into three phases, covering different geographical areas of Haiti, including Artibonite and Port-au-Prince (phase I - completed), the South, the South-East, Grande-Anse and Nippes (phase II - completed), the North-West and North-East (phase III-ongoing). Reports in French and English are available from the project. (See list of publications!)
The Children's Peace World
The Children's Peace World (Barnas Fredsverden) is an activity centre that will engage children and youth in peace and conflict resolution, and will open its doors in Moss (Østfold, Norway) in 2014. PRIO will be the main contributor of scientific knowledge on theories of peace and peacebuilding to the centre - thus contributing with important intellectual building stones to its activities and exhibitions. Wenche Hauge is the leader of the project on the Children's Peace World at PRIO.
The Demobilization and Political Participation of Female Fighters in Guatemala.
Project financed by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
This project aims at investigating how the female URNG ex-combatants fared in the demobilization and reintegration process in Guatemala and to what degree they have become socially and politically active in the post-conflict democratization and pecebuilding process.
Domestic Capabilities for Peaceful Conflict Management.
Project financed by the Research Council of Norway (POVPEACE).
This project focuses on the causes of peace. It seeks to investigate which contexts facilitate the existence of domestic capabilities for peaceful conflict management and why. Earlier research by Hauge has revealed that particular characteristics of civil-military relations, dialogue traditions and adherence to cultural concepts of nonviolence have constituted such capabilities in Madagascar. This project includes a comparative study of peaceful conflict management in Madagascar, Tunisia, Venezuela and Ecuador, and - in addition - a study of what kind of challenges frequent use of violence in Haiti represents to the development of a tradition for peaceful conflict management.
