Papers that discuss political theory in isolation, without practical applications or implications for peace processes and community engagement, seem to be less frequent. - Economic Analyses of Conflict:
Research focusing primarily on the economic aspects of conflict, such as economic impacts of violence or conflict-driven economic policies, appears to be declining in favor of more holistic and interdisciplinary approaches.
