We contribute to the scientific understanding of processes of state formation, political violence within and between states, institutional change, and political mobilization and organizations.

Based in the Department of Political Science at University College London (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê), Conflict & Change wasÌýfounded in 2015.
Sharing a focus on systematic analysis of theoretically-informed and empirically-drivenÌýresearch, we draw on a diverse spectrum of methods—from disaggregated large-N analysis, surveys, and forecasting to qualitative analysis based on historical sources and fieldwork.
Thematically, C&C draws together experts on political mobilization under repression (violent and non-violent), civil wars (causes, internal dynamics, and legacies), causes and consequences of international war, historical processes of state formation, social movements, sexuality and politics, secular parties and institutions, inequality and ethnic mobilization, nationalism, and ethnic cleansing.
We organize a regular research seminar series, as well as public talks and workshops enabling dialogue between academics, policy-makers, and practitioners, including an annual workshop for PhD students and early career researchers. Several of our members regularly engage with practitioners and policy-makers andÌýÌýbased on their research expertise.
If you would like to learn more about us or are an academic and would like to present your work in our research seminar, please contact Prof. Kristin M. Bakke, Prof. Nils Metternich, or Mr. Giovanni Hollenweger.
