Research

Principal research interests

Currently, I am working on a book manuscript on “The Peacebuilders”. This project builds upon a project completed with a grant from the British Academy on the world views, values and the social and educational background of staff at UNMIK. In my book manuscript I continue to analyse the world views, values, ideas and political attitudes as well as their professional qualifications and careers of civilian staff working in peacebuilding operations with the aim of understanding how peacebuilding policies are translated organizationally. This includes looking at knowledge management, organizational culture, career development and other organizational aspects of peacebuilding.

In parallel, I am interested in conflict analysis. This research interest has grown out of the question what kind of conflict analysis underlies peacebuilding and statebuilding but it has quickly developed its own dynamic. I am now interested in conflict analysis in its own right (and not only its contribution to peacebuilding and statebuilding), and I am particularly intrigued by the lack of social theory in conflict analysis. For the moment, I explore various aspects of conflict analysis, of concrete conflicts and secondary questions associated with this on my blog www.catherinegoetze.org/blog. In the longer term I am planning to explore notably the question of inequality, injustice and armed political conflict. |. In the longer term I am planning to explore notably the question of inequality, injustice and armed political conflict.
