Disarmament vs. demilitarization: A case study of military integration in the Lebanese post-conflict environment
Conflicts Forum is pleased to announce that the United States Institute of Peace has awarded $50,000 to Conflicts Forum to conduct a research study on “disarmament vs demilitarisation.” The research project will investigate the efficacy of the two approaches and how they might best be applied in the case of the disarmament or demilitarization of Hezbollah in the Lebanese political environment. “We are proud that our organization has been recognized by USIP for its work over a period of many years in Lebanon,” Conflicts Forum co-Director and founder Alastair Crooke said, “and we certainly appreciate this sign of USIP’s trust in our capabilities.”
