ANCIP

The aim of this subproject is to examine the inter­sections between military and non-military interventions and their respective practices. Its central conceptual and empirical question is how military and non-military intervention practices are inter­connected, and what implications these linkages have for strategies aimed at promoting sustainable peace. The project contributes to the use and further develop­ment of the ANCIP database while also generating new empirical and practice-oriented insights based on case studies on the prevention of violent extremism in West Africa. Beyond that, the subprojectmakes a conceptual contribution to broader debates within peace and conflict research concerning the relationship between military and civilian approaches. Methodologically, the project also strengthens the still under­utilized field of mixed-methods research in African intervention contexts.
