PeaceRep research sites across the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia

PeaceRep is working with our partners and local research teams to understand peace and transition process dilemmas in countries and regions across the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia.

Our core research countries exemplify fragment state dynamics and require new frameworks for approaching transition processes. They involve new forms of conflict that defy any assumption of a peace process as involving a state and a number of dominant armed state actors.

We also work in a number of countries for practice-based comparative research, where research is focused on active peace and transition support to in-time issues. Browse our country pages below to learn more.

Ethnic group Ngok Dinka people celebrate with a South Sudanese flag in Juba on October 31, 2013, the results of an unofficial referendum of residents of contested region Abyei to decide if it lies in Sudan or South Sudan. Residents of Abyei chose overwhelmingly to join South Sudan, election officials said on October 31, amid warnings the poll could inflame tensions in the volatile region. The fate of Abyei is one of the most important and sensitive issues left unresolved since South Sudan became an independent state in 2011, ending two decades of civil war in Sudan.

JUBA, SUDAN - JANUARY 10: People line-up to vote at a polling station during the second day of voting for the independence referendum January 10, 2011 in Juba, Sudan. Southern Sudan is participating in an independence referendum today following a historic 2005 peace treaty that brought an end to decades of civil war between the Arab north and predominantly Christian and animist south. The south is expected to vote around 99 percent to secede from the north which will also give it a majority of Sudan's oil resulting in splitting Africa's largest country in two. Over two million people were killed in the north-south civil war which began in the 1950`s. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
