RAPID: Citizen Perspectives on Peace, Security and Human Rights in a Post-Conflict Environment

摘要：冲突后环境中和平、安全和人权的公民视角国际社会经常面临如何处理与以武力上台的新政权关系的两难境地。一方面，制裁和孤立这些新政权的政策可能导致平民的贫困。另一方面，向脆弱的平民提供经济和人道主义援助可以稳定这些政权。该项目将收集和分析有关冲突后环境中和平、安全和人权困境的公众舆论的新调查数据。该项目将按性别和种族审查公众对建设和平和人权的态度可能存在的差异。该项目的研究结果将对美国国家安全政策制定者在指导与冲突后国家新政权关系的战略方针方面具有实际意义。此外，新的调查将有助于填补关于受冲突影响的平民（特别是妇女）对国际支持的偏好以及如何最好地解决受冲突影响国家的稳定与建设和平困境的数据真空。该项目将在一个冲突后的国家进行三次民意调查，使用新颖的随机域拦截技术收集互联网用户民意的随机、安全、匿名样本。多波调查将能够实时检验以下假设：a)公众对人权与和平与安全的看法在男女之间、在不同族裔群体和地理区域之间是否存在差异；b)态度如何随着国内和国际安全形势的演变而变化。这项研究的结果将有助于有关性别与安全的科学文献，发展中国家关于国家安全的公众舆论，以及支持冲突后国家人权（包括妇女权利）和建设和平的国内来源。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

NSF AWARD ABSTRACT:RAPID: Citizen Perspectives on Peace, Security, and Human Rights in a Post-Conflict EnvironmentThe international community often struggles with the dilemma of how to manage relations with new regimes that come to power by force. On the one hand, policies that sanction and isolate these new regimes can lead to deprivation for civilians. On the other hand, the provision of economic and humanitarian aid to vulnerable civilians can stabilize such regimes. This project will gather and analyze new survey data on public opinion regarding these dilemmas of peace, security, and human rights in a post-conflict environment. The project will examine potential differences in public attitudes on peacebuilding and human rights by gender and ethnicity. The findings of this project will be of practical use to US national security policymakers in guiding a strategic approach to relations with new regimes in post-conflict countries. Additionally, the new surveys will help fill a data vacuum on the preferences of conflict-affected civilians, especially women, regarding international support and how to best address dilemmas of stabilization and peacebuilding in conflict-affected countries. The project will field three public opinion surveys in a post-conflict country, using novel random domain intercept technology to collect random, secure, anonymous samples of public opinion of internet users. The multi-wave surveys will enable the testing of hypotheses in real-time on a) whether public views on human rights and peace and security differ between men and women and across different ethnic groups and geographical regions, and b) how attitudes shift as the domestic and international security situation evolves. The findings of this research will contribute to the scientific literatures on gender and security, public opinion on national security in developing countries, and domestic sources of support for human rights (including women’s rights) and peacebuilding in post-conflict countries.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.
