Projects
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| FRAMENET | Political issues are rarely presented objectively. Instead, they are ‘framed’, that is, certain aspects highlighted and others de-emphasised, in order to influence how voters think about the issue. |
| Peacebuilding, refugees and return migrants | The project envisages the collection of new data on the locality and timing of military and non-military PKOs, on populations movements across and within countries, and the use of individual/household data on Sub-Saharan countries. |
| The effect of terrorism on public attitudes and individual well-being in Great Britain | The project will provide a systematic analysis of the consequences of terrorism for public attitudes towards key policy-relevant issues, including immigration and civil liberties, and for subjective well-being. |
| Who keeps the peace and why does it matter? | This project asks how mission composition affects peacekeeping effectiveness. |
