Research project

The Impact of Overseas Conflicts on UK Communities

Project overview

¸£Àû×ÅÆ¬isation has intensified and changed the international connections of UK communities. This research studied the impact of conflict on communities in the UK from three areas: Afghanistan/Pakistan, the Great Lakes region (Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Uganda) and the western Balkans.

The findings were presented in a report that:
* looks at why some communities are affected more by overseas conflict than others;
* examines six detailed case studies of communities affected by overseas conflict;
* assesses how different communities challenge assumptions of mainstream society about particular conflicts; and
* considers how service providers at national and local level can support affected communities.
