  • U.S. Institute of Peace
    awarded a grant for $96,924 to George Mason University

    For a project to increase the understanding of emerging powers, such as China, India, Brazil, Turkey, and South Korea, and their assistance to post-conflict countries. The project aims to build the contours of a research agenda in post-conflict studies focused on a new class of donor nations, and will contribute to policy debates on post-conflict reconstruction policies, as well as sensitize those who work at the intersection of security and development to a new set of actors and issues that need to be factored into post-conflict reconstruction efforts and policies.
