Research, Policy and Practice – Assessing the Intersections

Abstract

Peacebuilding research has important implications for peacebuilding policies and practice. However, it often remains unclear how knowledge of peacebuilding is produced, how exactly it shapes policies and practice and how practical experiences are fed back into knowledge production. This panel will thus assess different questions at the intersection of research, policy and practice. It will ask how knowledge about peacebuilding is created and what knowledge is considered legitimate and by whom. It will also inquire into how knowledge influences peacebuilding policy and practice (either positively or negatively). Thereby, it seeks to shed light on how peacebuilding research can be effectively shared amongst key actors in order to fulfill its full potential of improving practice and how the impact of research can best be assessed.
