The Center for Comparative Conflict Studies (CFCCS) is a research and educational centre aiming to become a space in which people can engage in the study of the dynamics of conflicts in a comparative framework. While most scholars tend to exceptionalize the conflicts they study, the focus of the CFCCS is to work within a comparative framework that highlights broader dynamics of societies in conflict. Interest and projects are directed towards the conflicts in the former Yugoslav states, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and other conflicts worldwide.
