Publications
After a strategic turn in 2015/2016, NOREF shifted away from written output, and refocused its efforts on hands-on operational work to mitigate armed conflict. However, the body of work that had been built up still holds value, and a list of publications is provided here for the benefit of those who are interested in a glimpse into our previous work. All these publications are relevant to the field of mediation and conflict resolution, or the wider field of peacebuilding. The texts were mostly commissioned from an extensive network of experts worldwide, while some were written by NOREF staff members.
