100 Peacebuilding (Peace and Conflict) Research Centers—an Inventory

Abstract

Several editors have previously compiled similar inventories involving other fields. Freedman (2010) compiled a list of 100 programs and organizations in the field of Terrorism and Counterterrorism. Van Dongen (2018) also compiled a list of 130+ major counterterrorism research centers, which includes the most influential terrorism research centers across several categories. These inventories serve as a database for researchers, with easy access and the ability to compare between various centers. Currently, the fields of peacebuilding and conflict management are broad and are increasing in size annually. To keep track of all these centers, it is crucial to have a single database that compiles information on all centers.
