There are plenty of conflict analysis methodologies, frameworks and models available to peace and conflict practitioners. This wealth of resources reflects the great interest generated by an investigative process that has gradually become the key ingredient of any intervention in a conflict situation. The available literature, however, offers guidance almost exclusively in relation to the types of tools and methods that analysts can use, but provides scant direction regarding the practical implementation of conflict assessments. This handbook seeks to fill that knowledge gap and enable conflict specialists to carry out more effective and better tailored inquiries. It does so by tapping into first-hand accounts, challenges and solutions experienced by a wide range of dedicated colleagues working in various organisations – e.g. the United Nations (UN), International Non-Governmental Organisations (INGOs), universities, donor agencies, think tanks – or as individual experts.
