The Pearson Institute is proud to sponsor the 2018 conference of the Empirical Studies of Conflict (ESOC) Project. ESOC, comprised of leading scholars from across the country, addresses critical challenges to international security through methodologically rigorous, evidence-based analyses of insurgency, civil war, and other sources of politically motivated violence. The project is committed to providing policymakers and practitioners with greater expert analyses and recommendations for responding to pressing security threats. This conference is held in coordination with the United States Institute of Peace, and brings together practitioners and scholars to discuss a wide array of issues related to conflict, intervention, justice, and security.
