Description
This Fulbright Scholar research award supports established scholars at the Norwegian Nobel Institute in Oslo. The stated research theme is “Paths to Peace: Past Experiences, Emergent Directions, and Guiding Values.” It examines peacemaking amid increasingly complex civil wars, tensions between global powers, and a changing world order. Historical, normative, comparative, and statistical approaches are welcome, including case studies and broader investigations.
Research may address diplomacy and dialogue, grassroots peacemaking, lasting settlements, inclusion of women, victims and minorities, emerging technologies, or tensions between peace and democracy, justice and human rights. The program connects research with scholarly and public discussion through seminars and lectures, while supporting Fulbright’s mission of international understanding and cooperation.
