Organizations and Resources Network

The Institute for Development and Peace (INEF) is one of four institutes of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Duisburg-Essen. INEF was established in 1990 amongst others to supplement the work of the Development and Peace Foundation with scholarly analyses. The "unique selling point"of INEF is its joint focus on the issue areas of development and peace, especially looking at questions at the interface of both areas. In its work, INEF combines basic with applied research and public policy consulting. Since early 2015, INEF’s research programme is entitled "Responsibility in a Conflicted World Society" and will focus primarily on two areas: "Responsibility in Global Governance" and "Conflict Transformation in the Fault Lines of World Society".
