About the Project
Research on African non-military conflict intervention practices (ANCIP)
The network “African Non-Military Conflict Intervention Practices” (ANCIP) is a collaborative project of the Research Centre Global Dynamics (ReCentGlobe), Leipzig University, the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF), and the Institute for Development and Peace (INEF), University of Duisburg-Essen.
With the project we focus on the academically so far neglected non-military conflict intervention practices of the African Union (AU) and the Regional Economic Communities (RECs). Through various activities our network aims to strengthen expertise on non-military actors relevant to peace and security policies on the African continent.
The main objectives of ANCIP are (1) to develop an online database of non-military conflict interventions by the AU and the RECs from 2004 onwards, (2) to empirically reconstruct non-military conflict intervention practices and routines by specific African actors, and (3) to advance the theoretical debate and to provide strategic policy advice on African non-military conflict interventions.
