About CRISE
CRISE is a Development Research Centre within Oxford University supported by the Department for International Development (DFID). Its central HQ is based at Oxford Department of International Development (Queen Elizabeth House), University of Oxford.
The overall aim of CRISE is to investigate relationships between ethnicity, inequality and conflict, with the aim of identifying economic, political, social and cultural policies which promote stable and inclusive multiethnic societies.
It is already apparent that the role of ethnicity as a mobilising agent is among the most important questions of the early twenty-first century. It is crucial to improve understanding of these issues, since conflicts linked to ethnicity have led to significant loss of life and injuries in many countries, and become major elements in impoverishment, undermining human security and sustainable development.
CRISE is made up of a central CRISE HQ at Queen Elizabeth House and Partner Institutions across the world; staff at HQ and the PIs work in close collaboration on an agreed research programme. The Centre is also developing collaborative links with other experts, commissioning working papers on selected topics to support the programme.
