Accounting for State Building, Stability and Violent Conflict (CSCCA)
The project “Accounting for State-Building, Stability and Violent Conflict” (CSCCA) explores the conditions for successful or failed defusing of conflict potential in the Caucasian and Central Asian societies. The analysis is placed within the context of re-emergence of statehood after the collapse of empire. Point of departure of the analysis is the assumption that states with low institutional capacities and scarce provision of public goods are a breeding ground for violent conflicts. Violent conflict, on the other hand, may be a strategy to establish regime stability and thus often accompanies state building processes.
The Project is funded by the Volkswagen Fundation and implemented by the Institute for East-European Studies and the Institute for Social Anthropology of the FU Berlin.
