Vision

The CPD Policy Blog creates a bridge between science and politics, thus relating the enlightening potential of science to the field of political practice

Cooperation

The CPD Policy Blog is a project of the Austrian Conflict, Peace and Democracy Cluster (CPDC) and is supported by the University of Graz, IKF, Demokratiezentrum Wien, ASPR, ZFF as well as Shabka.

Research

Peace and conflict research deals with violence and violent conflicts in the broadest sense. It thus seeks to formulate strategies to overcome these forms of violence in the short, medium and long term.

CPD Cluster

The CPD Cluster seeks to bundle the competence existing in Austria in the areas of conflict, peace & democracy. The CPD Cluster thus contributes to the peaceful, non-violent and non-discriminatory development of society from the point of view of science, theory and practice.
