Research Questions After decades of progress in the post-World War 2 world order, global democracy levels in the 21st century are in stark decline . Authoritarian regimes have newfound political and economic strength, buoyed by a variety of factors including widespread attacks on basic human rights, corrupt judicial systems, and the erosion of independent media sources. Given the integral role that inclusive governance plays in a peaceful society, how can peacebuilding practitioners and policymakers combat authoritarian forces and contribute to strengthening responsive governance and rule of law systems? What can be done to support public participation in social and political processes as a core foundation to peacebuilding? Which techniques and approaches work best to train civil society members on the value and application of human rights as a peacebuilding tool in conflict-prone societies? How can global peacebuilding initiatives better connect with regional and local democratization and human rights movements to better prevent and resolve violent conflict?
Applications should propose research with clear potential to generate recommendations for policymakers and peacebuilders on how to forge effective democracy and human rights education and training efforts that successfully build and sustain peace. Excellent applications will demonstrate how research findings will be drawn from rigorous analyses of evidence, especially evidence from USIP priority countries.
