摘要

目的假设在调查非洲武装冲突时,在调查和民族志研究方向的限制下进行实地体验式学习,可以有助于丰富知识,帮助从业者以及其他在困难情况下工作的研究人员,如战区。更重要的是,本文旨在了解南部非洲的重大问题,进一步进行方法论辩论,并在南部非洲研究中开辟新的知识前沿。这篇论文将帮助其他计划在正在遭受战争蹂躏的地区进行研究的研究人员灵活使用混合的研究方法和数据收集技术,不仅可以确保数据的可靠性和有效性,而且更重要的是,可以确保这项研究的可推广性。设计/方法论/方法这项在卡波的研究最初是以调查和人种学方法为指导的。在研究新战争的复杂性时,作者在使用这些方法时遇到了限制,于是作者发展并转向了解释主义方法论作为一种替代方法。研究人员必须对调查和民族志方法之间的紧张关系保持敏感,以及它们如何与研究目的不匹配。调查结果在加博使用标准化调查和民族志研究方向的实地调查经验表明,对于如何在暴力冲突中进行研究,没有一个普遍合适的蓝图。有价值的调查和民族志研究策略没有紧密匹配,无法促进对混合武装行为者、不分青红皂白和有针对性的暴力的复杂性的理解,这些行为结合在一起阻碍了数据的生成。面对这些问题,作者发展了一种新的方法论——解释主义,它嵌入了描述性、解释性和预测性的方法。在动荡的环境中,标准化的方法论优先考虑数据生成,而不是批判性思维。独创性/价值通过在选择研究策略时结合创造性和灵活性来研究非洲武装冲突的性质至关重要。在莫桑比克德尔加杜角饱受战争蹂躏的局势中,和平研究受到限制,这暴露了和平时期研究方法的弱点,包括调查研究和民族志方法。现在是时候重新评估基于实地调查的研究了,尤其是在暴力环境中。

Constraints on peace research in war-torn situations: Cabo Delgado, Mozambique
Purpose It is assumed that fieldwork experiential learning on constraints of survey and ethnography research orientations in investigating armed conflict in Africa can contribute to the body of knowledge and help practitioners as well as other researchers working in difficult situations, such as war zones. More importantly, this paper aims to understand significant problems in Southern Africa, further methodological debates and produce new frontiers of knowledge in Southern African research studies. This paper will help other researchers who will be planning to conduct research in ongoing war-torn zones to be flexible with mixed research methodologies and data collection techniques that can ensure not only reliability and validity of the data but also, and more importantly, greater generalizability of this study. Design/methodology/approach This research in Cabo was initially guided by survey and ethnographic approaches. After facing constraints in their use in investigating the complexity of new wars, the author developed and shifted to interpretivism methodology as an alternative. It is essential that researchers be sensitive to the tensions between survey and ethnography methodologies and how they can be a mismatch to the research purpose. Findings The fieldwork experiences, using standardised survey and ethnography research orientations in Gabo, show that there is no generally appropriate blueprint of how to conduct research in violent conflicts. The valorised survey and ethnographic research strategies were not closely matched to facilitate understanding of the complexity of hybrid armed actors, indiscriminate and targeted violence which combined to militate against data generation. In the face of these problems, the author developed a new methodology, interpretivism, which embedded the descriptive, explanatory and predictive approaches. In tumultuous contexts, the standardised methodologies prioritize data generation more than critical thinking. Originality/value It is essential to study the nature of African armed conflicts by combining creativity and flexibility in the selection of research strategies. The constraints on peace research in war-torn situations in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, have laid out the weaknesses of peacetime research methodologies, including survey research and ethnographic approaches. Now is the time to reassess fieldwork-based research particularly in violent settings.
