The
purpose of the Households
in Conflict Network (HiCN) is to bring together cutting
edge empirical and theoretical micro-level research on the
nature, causes and consequences of violent conflict. While
much macro-level cross-country work is already available,
HiCN focuses on detailed micro-level studies.
 Workshop
Topics
A non-exhaustive list of topics to be covered in the workshop
includes:
- Triggers
of collective violence grounded on individual interactions
and/or group identities
- Relationship
between individual/household risk, security and coping mechanisms
- Dynamic
links between poverty, inequality, social exclusion and
violent conflict
- Relationship
between common resource management and violent conflict
- Gender
aspects of violent conflict
- Impact
of violent conflict on household/individual health status
- Impact
of violent conflict on migration and population displacement
(including the role of refugees)
- Links
between violent conflict and local forms of governance (including
forms of traditional leadership)
