Guidelines to Conflict Sensitive Research
Doing research in conflict contexts is crucial. But how do you best conduct research in conflict-affected contexts? These guidelines are designed for all levels of researchers – from research student to professor – who conduct research in settings that are affected by conflict.
The guidelines take you through 9 steps of a research cycle and point your attention to critical and sensitive aspects of research in and on conflict.
Adopting a conflict sensitive approach to research helps to understand the interaction of research with multiple layers of overt or latent conflicts. The interaction of research and conflict context effects what is being researched, how research is carried out, and the knowledge that is thus produced.
The guidelines were developed in close collaboration with swisspeace and in close interaction with researchers, funders and people working in international cooperation.

Dazu gehört
This publication analyses opportunities and risks of transdisciplinary research partnerships with business and civil society in the North-South context. Such partnerships are in many cases crucial for impactful research and need to be implemented cautious and strategic. Well implemented partnerships enhance the practical relevance of research and the uptake of results, they provide access to additional data and networks but they also entail the risk of undermining scientific rigour and independence, and they increase the complexity of a research project and power-imbalances. This analysis provides some practical information and orientation for researchers and funding institutions in Switzerland on these opportunities and risks. The publication is the result of a literature review and a stakeholder dialogue with researchers and research-funders.
WICID Blog about collaboration in an interdisciplinary transnational research project during the COVID-19 pandemic by Bronwen Webster.
Bild: Bronwen WebsterThis publication by swisspeace and the KFPE demonstrates, in eight contributions, how scientists view their research as dependent of national and international power structures. Research in conflict zones can point to ways and means to diffuse tension, if consciously undertaken. To achieve this objective, field research projects need to consider these specifics from the very outset.
Grenzüberschreitende und interkulturelle Forschungspartnerschaften bedingen neben der Erarbeitung fundierten Wissens auch einen ständigen Prozess gegenseitigen Lernens und Aufbauens von gegenseitigem Vertrauen und gemeinsamer Verantwortung.
