Conflict & Stabilization
As Pakistan is facing increasing number of conflicts-social, economic, environmental, political, religious, and ethnic-the need for
a thorough understanding of the nature, causes, and ramifications of these conflicts and mechanisms for their resolution has also
increased. At I-SAPS, we believe that peace and conflict resolution are important preconditions for sustainable economic growth,
democracy, and development.
We, therefore, undertake research on various conflicts affecting peace and stability of Pakistan and that of the broader South
Asian region. As these conflicts stem from the interplay of various political, social, and economic factors, their resolution
requires a multidisciplinary approach which could accommodate various aspects of the conflicts, and the multidisciplinary
emphasis of I-SAPS research team places them in a particularly advantageous position to strive for their resolution. Currently,
I-SAPS is working on inter-provincial harmony in Pakistan with a special focus on the role of business and development sector.
