The United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER) is requesting research proposals on the Institutional legacies of violent conflict. The goal of the project is to increase understanding among policymakers, academics and practitioners of how institutional dynamics that develop during violent conflicts shape state-building and economic development trajectories in the long run, in order to provide policy guidance on achieving SDG 16.

Request for research proposals

We seek to commission research papers from researchers working in conflict analysis, peacebuilding, and related fields who would like to contribute to the project. Proposals for original research that speak to the core themes of this project and offer strong empirical or theoretical contributions will be considered. The aim is that these papers will be published in high-quality journals in economics, political science, development studies, or related fields after publication in the WIDER Working Paper Series. The papers need to be written in English and should be limited to 10,000 words maximum (inclusive of text, tables, figures, footnotes, references). Proposals from individuals (or grups of individuals) as well as non-profit organizations are welcome. Applications from women and developing country researchers are particularly encouraged.
