Peace and Conflict Study Institutions

Swiss Peace Foundation (SPF):

The Berne-based Swiss Peace Foundation (SPF) is an independent action-oriented peace research institute active both nationally and internationally. Since its founding in 1988, it has developed into an internationally-renowned institute for peace and conflict research and is part of a national and international network. The SPF program deals with prevention and transformation of armed conflicts.

The Global Environmental Change and Human Security (GECHS) Project:

GECHS is an interdisciplinary research project that strives to advance research and policy efforts in the area of human security and environmental change. GECHS is the result of several years of discussions, research, and policy initiatives in the broad area of environment and security. As a core project of the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP), GECHS arose from the nexus of two seemingly different areas of study: the human dimensions of environmental change and the reconceptualisation of security.
GECHS-UCI was established in 1999 at the University of California, Irvine with support from the Center for Global Peace and Conflict Studies (GPACS) by Dr. Richard A. Matthew. GECHS-UCI has the following objectives: 1) to undertake original, interdisciplinary and participatory research; 2) to collaborate with academics and policymakers in developing countries; 3) to develop policy recommendations; and 4) to educate the public on the ways in which environmental change interacts with other transnational forces to affect the lives and welfare of individuals and groups around the world, especially in developing countries.

The International Peace Research Institute (PRIO), Oslo:

PRIO was founded in 1959 and became a fully independent institute in 1966. It was one of the first centers of peace research in the world, and is Norway's only peace research centre. Its foundation and early influence were instrumental in projecting the idea of peace research. PRIO's overall research is organised into four Strategic Institute Programmes: Conditions of War and Peace; Foreign and Security Policies; Ethics, Norms and Identities; and Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding.

Peace and Conflict Studies Program of the University of Toronto:

This program is headed by Professor Thomas Homer-Dixon. Previously he was the Director of the Project on Environment, Population and Security which is a special project to explore the linkages among environment, population, security and governance. He was also the principal investigator for the Project on Environmental Change and Acute Conflict, which took place from 1990 to 1993 and was organised jointly by the Peace and Conflict Studies Program and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. This project found that scarcities of renewable resources - including cropland, forests, water and fish - are already contributing to violent conflicts in many parts of the developing world, even though these conflicts often appear to be caused solely by political, ethnic or ideological factors. The project concluded that these conflicts foreshadow a surge of similar violence in coming decades as environmental scarcities worsen in many developing countries.
