The Database of Post-War Scholars is designed to encourage the communication of academic research and analysis about all aspects of post-conflict state building to those making and implementing policy. The database provides background and contact information for hundreds of scholars whose work is relevant to post-conflict states.

This project proposes a research program to apply a critical lens on the concept of state failure and on the models of the state on which it is based, and to do serious empirical research on state failure and international responses with the aim of proposing policy alternatives.

This project undertakes a comparative analysis of seven distinct interventions in the western Balkans since 1992 (in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Serbia, and Montenegro). The goal of the project is to better understand how the strategy and practice of international interventions has produced differing political systems.
