Conflict, Development and Covid-19

The Covid-19 pandemic is disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations around the world. The consequences of the virus on conflict-affected states are so powerful that United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has called for a global ceasefire to stop violent conflict in support of the fight against novel coronavirus.

The Political Settlements Research Programme have put together a list of blogs and other resources addressing the Covid-19 pandemic from the perspective of conflict-affected states: http://www.politicalsettlements.org/2020/03/25/conflict-development-and-covid-19-resources/

If you would like to add to this list, please email politicalsettlements@ed.ac.uk.
