The workshop's principal objective is to foster intellectual exchange by showcasing new and innovative work from leading and emerging scholars. It provides a forum in which research students can present their work, discuss the theoretical and methodological problems involved, examine common challenges in conducting research in this area and obtain feedback on their work. Research in this area draws on diverse theoretic and methodological approaches, and ranges across levels of analysis, regions, and eras. Specific foci of research include diplomacy, foreign and security relations, foreign policy analysis, comparative strategy, identity and security, war and society, state-building, peace-building and conflict resolution, revolutions, human security and genocide.
