The Amsterdam Centre for Conflict Studies (ACCS) ACCS

Research

The Centre brings together two strands of conflict research that were studied holistically when ‘conflict studies’ emerged in the 1960s, but have since separated: research on local, organisational, policy, and other conflicts in developed democracies and research on collective violence, civil war, and massive human rights violations. 

Researchers affiliated with the Amsterdam Centre for Conflict Studies take an interdisciplinary approach to conflict, drawing on political science, sociology, anthropology, international development studies, urban studies, planning, law, and other disciplines. Most have a particular focus on transnational or sub-national dimensions and the multiscalar dynamics of conflict, conflict resolution and processes of peacebuilding.

Conflict and Society

Research Priority Area

At Conflict & Society, our goal is to develop a deeper and multidisciplinary understanding of the dynamics of conflict in all its different forms. The RPA unites researchers working on conflict and violence across disciplinary boundaries, provides grants, organises events, and facilitates student fellowships. Find out more about the RPA, events, grants & research, and student fellowships on social media: Bluesky, LinkedIn.
