Abstract
Research is always informed by political, social, and economic factors; however, in post conflict states, such factors can include recent or ongoing human atrocities that impact researcher, inquiry, and most alarmingly, participants. Using Tilly’s (2002) definition of democratization, including notions of public politics, inequality, and networks of trust, this qualitative case study analysis focuses on the strategies of technical training in psychosocial projects in 3 postconflict countries.
