This research project is devoted to the social and political legacies of civil wars. Of particular interest is the extent to which past experiences of war affect the social and political life of those affected after a certain period of peace (social and political trust, tolerance, political behavior). In particular, we examine the situation in Kosovo and Sri Lanka in the years following the civil war.
