About

Hello.

I am Professor (Research Focused) in the Department of Politics and International Studies (POLIS) at the University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/pais/people/cochrane/ I am working with colleagues on the ‘Inclusive Peace’ research project. This is a comparative international study examining the ways in which peace settlements are negotiated, evolve and perform over time and how citizen preferences for political reform can be assessed. See project website for further details of funders, people involved, activities and outputs. https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/pais/research/projects/inclusivepeace/
