Institute of Development Studies

Conflict, Violence and Development seminars

The IDS Conflict, Violence and Development seminar series focuses on mass violent conflicts as well as every day forms of insecurity, looking at their relationship with poverty and development. It provides a forum to discuss the Institute's work in this area, as well as some exciting work on these subjects from outside the Institute.

Some past speakers:

• Stathis Kalyvas, Professor of Political Science and Director of the Program on Order, Conflict, and Violence at Yale University, on 'Civil Wars Through History: 1810-2010'
• Clemens Hoffmann, International Relations Research Fellow at the University of Sussex, on 'Divided Waters - Troubled Waters: Climate Change, Development and Hydropolitics in Sudan's North/South Conflict'
