Who we are

The Politics After War Network (PAW-Network) is a research network for collaborative activities and knowledge sharing among researchers and practitioners interested in rebel group political transformation, the politics of DDR, post-war governance, state-building and peacebuilding. The network works closely with practitioners and policy makers providing evidence-based knowledge in our expert areas.
