Applications are invited from Individuals who are interested in pursuing a degree program at the University of Ghana. Scholarships are available at the University of Ghana for interested candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim is to show how the global is productive of the local, and how institutions, actors, practices, norms, and discourse mix to produce novel forms of security governance and global-local linkages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University of Ghana, Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC), Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS), and Danish Institute Against Torture (DIGNITY) are undertaking a collaborative research project on the Domestic Security Implications of United Nations Peacekeeping (D-SIP) in Ghana.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

D-SIP\u2019s objective is to understand the linkages between peacekeeping contributions, domestic security provision and drivers of stability in Ghana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By producing knowledge on how participation in international peacekeeping shapes the legitimacy and effectiveness of security institutions and practices in troop-contributing countries, D-SIP offers insight into the broader dynamics of peace and state-building.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

About the University Of Ghana<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since the early 2000s, UN peacekeeping has increased in scope and complexity. The global spend in 2016 was $7.87 billion with 118,792 personnel deployed to 16 operations. The sustainability of UN operations depends on countries from the global South that constitute the top ten troop contributors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their motivations to provide peacekeepers are economic, political, institutional and normative. However, knowledge is lacking on how peacekeeping participation impact on domestic security and stability in troop-contributing countries, both at national and local levels.   Ghana is a privileged space to explore this issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The country has been engaged in more than 30 UN peacekeeping operations since the 1960s and is among the world\u2019s largest troop contributors. Despite changing governments and regimes, Ghana has been committed to contributing to international peacekeeping and continues to play a vital role as a peacekeeping pioneer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a country characterized by rapid economic growth and democratic consolidation \u2013 a stable country in an unstable region faced with long-term and emerging security threats, including the effects of refugee flows and insurgent groups. Ghana\u2019s sustained contribution to peacekeeping missions and conflict prevention depends on maintaining this status. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, Ghana provides insight into linkages between contributing peacekeepers, building legitimate security institutions, and drivers of national and regional stability.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

D-SIP calls for PhD applications that explore how the exposure to international peacekeeping training and deployments abroad impacts on discourses and practices of security within Ghana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The empirical focus is on the national level as well as the local level in two urban localities \u2013 Accra and Tamale \u2013 as well as rural Ghana. D-SIP applies a multidisciplinary approach with an emphasis on ethnographic fieldwork methods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the aim is to show how the global is productive of the local, and how institutions, actors, practices, norms, and discourse mix to produce novel forms of security governance and global-local linkages.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
