The Peace & Security domain studies how conflicts begin, endure and end, and what makes peace sustainable. Aceh’s experience after the Helsinki agreement is a central reference point, alongside comparative cases such as southern Thailand, Mindanao and Myanmar.

Research combines conflict analysis, human-security perspectives and attention to memory, identity and justice. It aims to help policymakers, mediators and communities recognise risks early and design responses that build trust rather than only order. The domain links to the School of Peace, Conflict & Security Studies.
