GCRF - Drugs and (dis)order: Building sustainable peacetime economies in the aftermath of war

首先，该项目将吸引从事冲突和战争向和平过渡的政治经济学研究的学者。这包括研究暴力问题的研究人员（如Christopher Cramer，Stathis Kalyvas，Teo Ballve），资源，国家建设和政治解决方案（如Jonathan Di John，James Putzel，Philippe Le Billon，Douglass North和Mushtaq Khan），以及混合政治秩序（如Volker Boege，Kate Meagher）。这项研究将有助于这一文献，提供一个比较证据基础，说明和平时期犯罪经济的长期存在，以及建设和平、发展和禁毒努力解决非法经济之间存在的复杂困境和权衡。这项研究将通过在主要的发展和政治期刊上发表，通过与现有的研究网络（如政治解决研究方案）以及联合王国和国际会议的接触进行传播，第二，这项研究将使从事毒品和其他非法经济研究的学者受益，包括Pierre-Arnaud Chouvy，Carolyn Nordstrom，Richard Snyder，Ko-Lin Chin，弗朗西斯科卡米。该研究旨在通过产生一个创新的跨学科框架来重新定义毒品和发展领域，该框架将政治经济学，生计，性别和公共卫生分析相结合，以了解禁毒政策与解决国家脆弱性和贫困问题的同时努力之间存在的紧张关系。该项目非常适合通过SOAS暴力、冲突和发展研究集群、新的SOAS腐败中心、LSE IDEAS国际药物政策项目、药物与健康行为研究中心（CRDHB）和健康与社会变革中心（ECOHOST）向不同学科的受众传播研究成果第三，这项研究将加强最近的边疆研究奖学金，重点是国家边缘如何不仅仅反映了中心的权力关系，但往往是新的政治和经济秩序的组成部分（例如黑斯廷斯·唐南、托马斯·威尔逊、贝内迪克特·科尔夫、蒂莫西·雷伊梅克斯、保罗·纽金特、詹姆斯·斯科特和威廉·货车·申德尔）。研究将加强这一不断增长的文献，展示如何从边疆的角度来解决大部分关于战争向和平过渡和国家建设的文献对空间缺乏敏感性的问题，这些文献主要侧重于国家一级的政治解决方案。该研究将通过向《地理论坛》和《边疆研究杂志》等目标期刊提交出版物，并通过与亚洲边疆研究网络、边疆研究协会和非洲边疆研究网络的互动，吸引受益人参与。（e.g. Gutierrez-Sanin，曼斯菲尔德，Ko-Lin Chin）.该研究将深入的实地调查、地理信息系统空间图像和公共卫生分析相结合，将展示方法上的创新，这些创新随后可能适用于毒品和受冲突影响环境中的其他研究举措。这些研究结果将通过该项目的讲习班和与英国和南方研究人员的能力建设举措传播，该项目旨在通过该项目拟议的政策实验室和随后的改造非法经济研究联盟建立一个广泛的研究网络，加强英国和阿富汗、哥伦比亚和缅甸南方研究人员在所有这些知识领域的联系。

First, the project will engage scholars working on the political economy of conflict and war to peace transitions. This includes researchers working on issues of violence (e.g. Christopher Cramer, Stathis Kalyvas, Teo Ballve), resources, statebuilding and political settlements (e.g. Jonathan Di John, James Putzel, Philippe Le Billon, Douglass North and Mushtaq Khan), and hybrid political orders (e.g. Volker Boege, Kate Meagher). The research will contribute to this literature by providing a comparative evidence base regarding the perpetuation of criminalised economies in peacetime and the complex dilemmas and trade-offs that exist between peacebuilding, development and counter narcotics efforts to tackle illicit economies. The research will be disseminated through publication in leading development and politics journals, through engagement with existing research networks (such as the Political Settlements Research Programme) and UK and international conferences.Second, the research will benefit scholars working on drugs and other illicit economies, including Pierre-Arnaud Chouvy, Carolyn Nordstrom, Richard Snyder, Ko-Lin Chin, Francisco Thoumi. The research aims to redefine the field of drugs and development by generating an innovative, interdisciplinary framework for conceptualising the dynamics surrounding drug economies that combines political economy, livelihoods, gender, and public health analysis to understand the tensions that exist between counter-narcotics policies and concurrent efforts to address state fragility and poverty. The project is well-placed to disseminate research to audiences across different disciplines through the SOAS Violence, Conflict and Development research cluster, the new SOAS Corruption Centre, the LSE IDEAS International Drug Policy Project, the Centre for Research on Drugs and Health Behaviour (CRDHB) and The Centre for Health and Social Change (ECOHOST) (both hosted by the LSHTM).Third, the research will strengthen recent borderland studies scholarship focused on how state margins are not simply reflective of power relations at the centre, but are often constitutive of new political and economic orders (e.g. Hastings Donnan, Thomas Wilson, Benedikt Korf, Timothy Raeymaekers, Paul Nugent, James Scott and Willem van Schendel). Research will strengthen this growing body of literature by demonstrating how a borderlands perspective can address the lack of sensitivity to space in much of the literature on war to peace transitions and statebuilding, which focuses predominantly on national-level political settlements. The research will engage beneficiaries by submitting publications to targeted journals including Geoforum and Journal of Borderland Studies, and through interacting with the Asian Borderlands Research Network, the Association for Borderland Studies and the African Borderlands Research Network.Fourth, the project will provide an important contribution to the literature engaged with developing new research approaches for working in insecure terrain (e.g. Gutierrez-Sanin, Mansfield, Ko-Lin Chin). The research's integration of in-depth fieldwork, GIS spatial imagery and public health analysis will showcase methodological innovation that may then be adapted to other research initiatives in drugs and conflict-affected environments. These findings will be disseminated through the project's workshops and capacity building initiatives with UK-based and southern researchers.The project aims to strengthen the links between UK and southern researchers in Afghanistan, Colombia and Myanmar across all of these areas of knowledge by establishing an extensive research network through the project's proposed Policy Lab and subsequent Research Consortium for Transforming Illicit Economies.
