Changing Dynamics of Conflict and Implications for the United Nations

在2016财政年度（3月至3月），他继续加深对联合国和平与安全架构的理解，熟悉正在进行和最近完成的关键审查进程。特别是，他重点介绍了在遴选新秘书长之前完成的审查进程，特别是与联合国预防冲突有关的进程，他撰写了一份关于与非国家武装团体谈判的专题文件，作为在英国迪奇利举行的一次学术会议的背景文件。这份文件还将被纳入关于暴力冲突性质不断变化的全共和国工作方案。这个工作计划将支撑他最后一年的工作。为了支持这份文件，他前往日内瓦与私营部门和政府部门的有关人士进行了面谈。他还对调解理论和实践进行了广泛的文件分析。李还撰写了一篇关于中东和平进程的分析文章，重点关注特朗普政府。这篇文章受到广泛关注，并计划发表后续文章。关于这个主题，他编辑了他的论文的两个章节，这些章节正在被塑造成学术期刊文章。这些作品将在下一个财政年度提交出版，并有望在博士后结束前出版。

In the fiscal year 2016 (March-March), he continued to deepen his understanding of the UN Peace and Security architecture, familiarizing himself with the key review processes underway and recently completed. In particular, he focused on the review processes completed in the lead-up to the selection of the new Secretary General, especially those related to UN conflict prevention.He authored an occasional paper on negotiations with Non-State-Armed groups, which served as a background document for an academic conference at Ditchley, UK. This paper will also be included in a CPR-wide program of work on the changing nature of violent conflict. This program of work will underpin his final year of work. In support of this paper, he travelled to Geneva to conduct interviews with relevant individuals in the private and government sectors. He also did extensive document analysis on mediation theory and practice.Lee also authored an analysis piece on the Middle East Peace Process that focused on the Trump administration. This piece received broad attention, and a follow-up piece is planned. On this topic, he edited two chapters of his thesis that are being shaped as academic journal articles. These pieces will be submitted for publication in the next financial year, and will hopefully be published before the conclusion of the postdoc.
