Comparative research workshop

Representatives from the Afghanistan, Colombian and Myanmar research teams met at SOAS University of London to develop the comparative research component of the project.

During the two-day workshop, team members:

• shared emerging findings from year 2 fieldwork;
• discussed refining our comparative research questions, methodologies and plans;
• developed messages and stories for our annual flagship voices from the borderlands publication; and
• discussed partner contributions to forthcoming academic journal publications.

Partners met in London on route to Brussels to participate in a meeting on the role of the EU in addressing illicit economies, convened by the European Peacebuilding Liason Office (EPLO) and the European Commission Research Project.
