Although billions of pounds internationally have been invested in post-conflict reconciliation projects, primarily involving aspects of justice and the creative arts, there has been no study of this phenomenon as such. To date, only isolated studies of particular places and projects have been undertaken - a lack noted by UNDP (Western Balkans), one of the largest funders of such work, which seeks a 'codified body of knowledge pertaining to reconciliation.' This interdisciplinary project will therefore innovatively investigate post-conflict reconciliation to produce the first overarching study to address this major (practitioner and academic) gap. It will do so by combining history, conflict resolution methodologies, art and creative practice, and both qualitative and quantitative social sciences in three strands: 1. The first historical investigation of the idea and practice of reconciliation through time, involving examples, such as the English Civil War or post-1945 Europe, and also an integrated study of thought (including religious and philosophical) and practice on reconciliation. 2. Interrogation of both the past use of art and related media in reconciliation initiatives and the potential of artistic practices and artefacts to play a role in inter-communal conflict resolution, remembrance, forgetting and forgiving. This will include critical evaluation of data generated by a series of initiatives using visual media to stimulate inter-ethnic dialogue and reconciliation, particularly with youth groups, run by the Post Conflict Research Centre (PCRC) in Bosnia and Hercegovina. 3. Comparative empirical research between institutional domains, across countries and over time of debates on reconciliation, applying innovative computer-assisted quantitative and qualitative analysis to multi-language large text data from the Balkans. This will include a dedicated analysis of RECOM, a unique, locally-driven NGO initiative for reconciliation involving 5,000 civil society members from all countries and ethnic groups in the region, generating large data in various languages that remains both to be analysed and also its potential to inform understanding of reconciliation developed. The three strands will be integrated by: project workshops; a co-authored synthetic book integrating the research and offering an overarching framework of understanding reconciliation; and a common and comprehensive thread, drawing on the particular experience and past research of the applicants. The integrated research will provide a critical body of knowledge pertaining to reconciliation and a framework document for critical evaluation of reconciliation activity co-produced with the FCO.This novel and pioneering research builds on findings from previous funded research projects: ESRC- and AHRC-funded projects on visual material, conflict and war crimes (Gow; Gow and Kerr); USIP- and Leverhulme-funded projects on transitional justice (Kerr; Gow); and Leverhulme-funded research on the RECOM initiative (Kostovicova).The research has been developed and discussed with practitioners, including UNDP (Western Balkans) where the absence of an overarching framework for understanding reconciliation was identified and who have been involved in designing the project, the Humanitarian Law Center, Belgrade and the Humanitarian Law Center (Pristina), the PCRC (Sarajevo), and the FCO (the Policy Unit, Research Analysts and the UK UN Mission), all of whom are committed to the project in terms of design, facilitation and evaluation. The project is also supported by the EU DG-Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations, who would benefit by benefit by being better able to assess EU-funded projects and by the Deputy Assistant Secretary General, NATO who would support and facilitate the research and provide channels for possible impact. The research should also be of benefit to post-conflict communities subject to, or involved in, reconciliation processes.

虽然国际上已对冲突后和解项目投资数十亿英镑，主要涉及司法和创造性艺术方面，但对这一现象本身却没有进行研究。迄今为止，只对特定地点和项目进行了孤立的研究-开发署（西巴尔干）指出了这一不足，开发署是这类工作的最大资助者之一，它寻求“编纂有关和解的知识体系”。因此，这个跨学科项目将创新性地调查冲突后和解，以产生第一个全面的研究，以解决这一重大（实践和学术）差距。它将通过结合历史，冲突解决方法，艺术和创造性实践，以及定性和定量社会科学三个方面来实现这一目标：1。第一次历史性的调查和解的想法和实践，通过时间，涉及的例子，如英国内战或1945年后的欧洲，也是思想（包括宗教和哲学）的综合研究和和解的实践。2.询问过去在和解举措中使用艺术和相关媒体的情况，以及艺术实践和手工艺品在解决社区间冲突、纪念、遗忘和宽恕方面发挥作用的潜力。这将包括对波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那冲突后研究中心（冲突后研究中心）开展的一系列利用视觉媒体促进族裔间对话与和解的举措所产生的数据进行严格评价，特别是与青年团体进行对话与和解。3.对不同体制领域、不同国家和不同时期关于和解的辩论进行比较性实证研究，对巴尔干半岛的多语种大文本数据进行创新性计算机辅助定量和定性分析。这将包括对RECOM进行专门分析，RECOM是一个独特的、由当地驱动的非政府组织和解倡议，涉及该区域所有国家和族裔群体的5 000名民间社会成员，以各种语言产生大量数据，这些数据仍有待分析，其为了解和解提供信息的潜力也有待开发。这三个部分将通过以下方式整合：项目研讨会;一本联合撰写的综合书，其中整合了研究成果，并提供了理解和解的总体框架;以及一条共同和全面的主线，借鉴了申请人的特殊经验和过去的研究。这项综合研究将提供与和解有关的重要知识体系，以及与外交和联邦事务部共同制作的对和解活动进行批判性评估的框架文件。这项新颖且开创性的研究建立在之前资助的研究项目的研究结果的基础上：ESRC和AHRC资助的项目关于视觉材料、冲突和战争罪（Gow; Gow and Kerr）;美国国际和平研究所和Leverhulme资助的过渡时期司法项目（克尔;高）;和Leverhulme资助的RECOM计划研究（Kostovicova）。研究已经展开，并与从业人员进行了讨论，包括开发署（西巴尔干），那里没有一个了解和解的总体框架，贝尔格莱德人道主义法中心和人道主义法中心（普里什蒂纳）、巴勒斯坦难民和救济委员会（萨拉热窝）和外交和联邦事务部（政策股、研究分析员和联合王国驻联合国使命），所有这些机构都致力于该项目的设计、促进和评价。该项目还得到了欧盟邻国和包围谈判总干事的支持，该总干事将能够更好地评估欧盟资助的项目，并得到北约副助理秘书长的支持，他将支持和促进研究，并为可能的影响提供渠道。这项研究还应有益于正在或参与和解进程的冲突后社区。
