CONCLUSION
This chapter was initially stimulated by the paucity of research on conflict resolution initiatives. While evaluation research on CRIs has expanded over the past few years, the continued lack of systematic research is due to a number of factors, including lack of adequate funding to support the kind of research that would be valuable to do.
Another important factor is lack of appreciation of the large range of worthwhile questions that can be addressed by research and the research strategies that are available to address them. In response to this latter factor, we have sketched out a framework for thinking about the research possibilities related to CRIs and have provided examples of innovative methodologies that have been developed and projects that have been conducted in this realm.Note
1. We use the term “conflict resolution initiatives” to refer to the diverse set of activities that fall within a broad set of conflict resolution programs such as training, mediation, dialogue groups, intergroup encounters, youth exchanges, and other programs that occur from the grassroots to the political levels.
