Scholarship Details:

These scholarships are part of the Marsden-funded project, Building Sustainable Peace in the Pacific, initially developed by the late Professor Jacob Bercovitch.

This project will consider a wide range of factors, including the role played by security forces and the judiciary; the role of development aid and economic restructuring; the part played by civil society and democratic institutions in fostering peace; the role of mediation in achieving peace; and the role of international organisations in conflict management.
