“On the question how to do study dynamics of violence in the South Ossetian conflict: Patterns, practices, mechanisms”
Lara Sigwart, Ph.D researcher
Wednesday, June 9, 2010
5:30 - 6:30pm
ISET building (CRRC)
Zandukeli 16
Tbilisi, Georgia
In this WiP, Lara Sigwart will be presenting her PhD project, which studies dynamics of violence in the South Ossetian conflict from 1989 to 2008. In her project, she hypothesizes that practices of state actors in the context of the conflict relate to their power-consolidating ambitions and, in this way, will help to explain how violence came to escalate at certain points in time, and not at others. Considering this, structures such as Russian and Western policies, internal power shifts, economic incentives and political talks factor into the transitions between the respective phases of violence.
The presentation will focus on the turning points in the process of violence after 1989, shedding light on the working hypotheses the project deals with. The presentation will then turn to the methodical problems the project faces at its current state, such as how to gather the data, how to use the data, and answers to be obtained from the data.
