C. PROFESSIONAL HONOURS AND AWARDS

For my sabbatical year I was a Fellow in International Affairs at the Belfer Center in Science and International Affairs, JFK School of Government, Harvard. I am affiliated with the Program on Conflict Prevention and Intrastate Conflict. Approximately 3 Fellows are affiliated with the program this academic year.

Carleton University, Research Achievement Award: For a Research Proposal on Evaluating Conflict Prevention ($15,000).

Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council: Three Year Research Grant for Work on "Third Party Intervention in Intrastate Ethnic Conflict" ($29,000.00).

Marcel Cadieux Fellowship, working with the Planning Secretariat the fellow is to assess the implications for Canada of particular international trends or developments (beginning fall 1998). The award is intended to bring a wider set of perspectives to bear in the preparation of Canadian Foreign Policy. The Secretariat is responsible to Deputy Ministers for providing advice on the overall direction of Canadian foreign and trade policy, for strategic planning and for handling policy coordination. The accepted proposal is based on the Country Indicators for Foreign Policy project. Working in consultation with the Policy Planning Staff at DFAIT, the fellow will generate and test risk assessment models for the development and enhancement of Canadian policies in the area of conflict prevention. The research builds on previous work carried out by the recipient under contract to DFAIT under phase one of the Project. In that initial phase, data was collected on over 80 indicators for 125 countries. Ultimately the outputs of this continuing project will consist of analysis, a software tool for risk assessment, presentation of initial findings in the public domain and potential marketing of the tool to the private and public sectors. A complete and detailed presentation of the Phase One methodology and indicators (two volumes) is available through the Policy Planning Staff and at the following website address: http://www.carleton.ca/cifp The project involves collaboration and partnership with a number of research institutes, software firms and Canadian Government departments (SIPRI and FEWER). The project currently employs a variety of student researchers/software developers and analysts from Carleton=s departments of Economics, Computer Science and The School of International Affairs.

Statement of Research

David Carment

Norman Paterson School of International Affairs Carleton University

Although the methodology of my research agenda emphasizes overarching theoretical and empirical assumptions, its evaluation is also to be weighed in terms of its policy implications. As a major contributor to conflict management and resolution, Canada has much to gain from a better understanding of the modern conflict environment. Thus, each of the components of my research are oriented towards the practical problems of conflict analysis and their applications to policy. Several interrelated research programmes are underway: conflict prevention, conflict management and conflict resolution. Each is considered in turn.

Early Warning and Information Technology: The purpose of this research has been to undertake conceptual work, theory building, statistical analysis and internet technology development on the international aspects of early warning and risk assessment. The objectives of this research are to provide a research context for the study of the potential for violent conflicts and the existing mechanisms to deal with them; to analyse the evolution of states and regions in which unsolved political problems could give rise to violent conflicts; to develop a typology of conflicts and indicators, as a set of criteria with which to assess their dynamics, and to evaluate instruments for the various aspects of conflict prevention with a special focus on early warning and risk assessment. This research builds on the findings of previous work including studies supported a two DFAIT grants and a CIDA grant for the development of the CIFP database. Thus far my research has identified and tested risk assessment models for the development and enhancement of policies in the area of conflict prevention and early warning The attached proposal outlines how this project will be developed into a practical tool for early warning and conflict analysis incorporating field reports, events-based data analysis and structural indicators. The research builds on previous work carried out by the recipient . In the initial phase, data was collected on over 100 indicators for 125 countries. Ultimately the outputs of this continuing project will consist of analysis, a software tool for risk assessment, presentation of initial findings in the public domain and potential marketing of the tool to the private and public sectors. A complete and detailed presentation of the methodology and indicators is available at: http://www.carleton.ca/cifp The project involves collaboration and partnership with a number of research institutes, software firms and Canadian Government departments (SIPRI and FEWER). The project currently trains and employs a variety of student researchers/software developers and analysts from various Carleton’s departments such as Economics, Computer Science and The School of International Affairs

Conflict Management: Individual and collaborative work on conflict management includes research on peacekeeping and third party intervention such as the two edited volumes, Wars in the Midst of Peace and Peace in the Midst of Wars; the co-authored volume Using Force to Prevent Ethnic Violence and various co-authored journal articles and book chapters cited below. Individual work has led to the development of several distinct models of third party intervention and conflict management. The common theoretical framework of these models is the application of systematic evaluation techniques to situations of conflict and third party intervention including case study, field research, quantitative analysis and formal modelling. The blending of these approaches to conflict and intervention represents an important and arguably more comprehensive approach. Several formal models have been developed to assist in the analysis of conflict dynamics. These seeks to explain intervention success on the basis of exogenous conflict characteristics. This research has been supported by DND and SSHRCC doctoral fellowships, a SSHRCC post-doctoral fellowship, a Co-operative Security grant (DFAIT), a 1996-1999 SSHRCC Grant, and 1999-2001 SSHRCC Grant (current).

Conflict Resolution and Conflict Prevention: Collaborative research with the United Nations University and non-governmental organizations in Africa and South East Asia has been undertaken to develop a conflict prevention training programmes. Two areas of research are underway: the evaluation of preventive efforts to end destructive conflicts using and the development of a conflict analysis training workshops, focusing on the economic, political and military transformations and resolutions of protracted conflicts. A key element of these projects is the application of theory to the practice of conflict resolution, prevention and transformation in theatre. This research is designed to develop and translate scholarly and field-informed work on conflict prevention at sub-national, regional and global levels Training programmes implemented through regional organizations such as the OAU, OAS, OSCE and ASEAN will be developed. Outputs of this research include: Conflict Prevention: Grand Illusion or Path to Peace and From Rhetoric to Policy: Towards Workable Conflict Prevention at the Global and Regional Level as well as several working papers available from http://www.carleton.ca/npsia. In the fall of 2000 I and a colleague Albrecht Schnabel of the United Nations University conducted a series of intensive workshops on building conflict capacity - methods, experience and needs - in consultation with the secretariats of regional organizations, think tanks and local experts. The purpose of the workshops was to disseminate the results of ongoing activities carried out by Carment and Schnabel through research funded by the International Development Research Centre, the UNU and the Security Defence Forum of the Department of National Defence The themes of the workshops are the conceptual and operational challenges of conflict prevention and lessons to be learned from regional approaches and experiences for major stakeholders interested in enhancing the effectiveness and utility of conflict prevention and conflict prevention training.

Research on Ethnic Conflict: Much of my individual and co-authored work (cited below) focuses on the international dimensions of ethnic conflict and secession an important but understudied dimension. This research, initiated when I was a graduate student at McGill, develops an explanation that links the causes of ethnic conflict at the domestic level to interstate conflict, crisis and war. First an assessment of the interaction between affect and instrumental interests that influence a state’s choices to intervene in ethnic strife is made. Second, this research identifies how leaders pursuing an ethnically-oriented goal might respond to and take advantage of incentives within the international system and within domestic political structures. It is argued that ethnic crises are driven primarily by a combination of opportunities represented by ethnic divisions in neighboring states and ethnic alliances and constraints represented by a state’s institutional configuration and ethnic composition. This argument couples purposiveness, rather than inevitability, to escalation. Interstate ethnic conflicts do not have a predetermined outcome. Nor do the roots of a conflict necessarily lie in centuries old hatred.
