What Do We Know and Why? Creating a Knowledge Infrastructure for Post-Conflict State Transformation An important part of the project is to establish a database of younger scholars who are doing the field research and analysis in such countries and on issues of post-conflict reconstruction and state-building and yet who are unlikely to have established regular relationships with those in the policy world. People in the policy and operational worlds are seeking expertise but do not always know where to find it. We hope as well to use this database to create a network among scholars concerned with these issues, which will eventually also benefit the academic world. We are currently seeking to expand the database. If you would like to be included or know of other young scholars working in this field, please email your information to . We welcome any inquiries, comments or corrections. The database can be searched and browsed below. Scholars' e-mail addresses and webpages can be found by clicking on their names. By searching “Research Topic,” you can find scholars by searching the research interests that scholars have provided themselves. If you are looking for scholars researching very specific topics, this is the best field to search. By searching under
“Policy Topic,” you can find scholars whose expertise falls
under the following broad categories of post-conflict reconstruction
