Integrative International Interventions: Militant Violence and Human Security in Contemporary Conflicts

国际组织、非政府组织以及国家行为者等国际行为者以各种方式干预这些内部冲突，改变冲突动态，对人的安全产生影响。在什么条件下，国际干预才能有效减少激进分子的暴力行为？综合国际干预(Triple-I)项目审查了各种国际干预政策在减少武装暴力方面的人道主义后果。针对平民的暴力、针对妇女的暴力和针对儿童的暴力问题是调查的中心。该项目有三个目标：1)确定冲突地区人类安全面临的干预机会和挑战；2)发展国际干预人类安全的综合理论；3)测试和衡量应对世界各地武装暴力的各种措施的效力。私人情报员收集各种国际干预努力和激进组织特征的数据，并分析1990至2020年间全球约120个国家约1200个激进组织的暴力模式。对干预措施的成本、收益和相关风险进行全面和系统的评估是分析的一部分。将使用时间序列干预分析来评估干预措施的选择和有效性。PIS制定了一个综合框架来研究各种国际干预措施的选择和有效性，制定了与武装分子交战的条件分类，实施了武装分子适应性的衡量战略，以及重大国际干预的编码战略。更广泛的影响包括一个可共享的数据库，供学者和政策制定者使用，以及对本科生和研究生的培训。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

International actors, such as international organizations, non-governmental organizations, as well as state actors, intervene in those internal conflicts in a variety of ways, altering the conflict dynamics with implications for human security. Under what conditions are international interventions effective in reducing militant violence? The integrative international interventions (Triple-i) project examines the humanitarian consequences of various international intervention policies in reducing militant violence. The issues of violence against civilians, violence against women, and violence against children are the center of the inquiry. The project has three objectives: 1) to identify intervention opportunities and challenges to human security in conflict zones, 2) to develop an integrative theory of international interventions for human security, and 3) to test and measure the efficacy of various measures dealing with militant violence around the world. The PIs collect data for the variety of international intervention efforts and militant group characteristics and analyze the patterns of approximately 1,200 militant groups’ violence in about 120 countries around the world between 1990 and 2020. The comprehensive and systematic assessment of costs, benefits, and associated risks of intervention measures is part of the analysis. Time-series intervention analysis will be used to evaluate the choice and efficacy of intervention measures.The PIs develop an integrative framework to study the choice and efficacy of various international intervention measures, develops a categorization for the conditions of engaging militants, the implementation of a measurement strategy of militant adaptability, and a coding strategy for major international interventions. Broader Impacts include a sharable database that will be available to academics and policy makers and training for undergraduate and graduate students.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
