Urban Research (GURI)

PUA of urban violence were undertaken in Colombia and Guatemala, in collaboration with 20

researchers, working in eighteen low-income urban communities. The research analyses the

continuum of social, economic and political violence, the nexus between urban violence,

exclusion and social capital (both productive and perverse), and the role of women’s

organizations in reconstructing social capital in peace processes. Linked to this is the

development of an operational framework for the analysis of violence, as well as research on

gender and political violence

Undertaken collaboratively with the University of West Indies, with fieldwork in five urban

communities. Results introduced policy framework and operational procedures for upcoming
