“…22 This literature notes that EPR has many benefits for scholars of post-conflict intervention, including its inductive and post-positivist ethos, its methodological flexibility, requirement for researcher reflexivity, and its ability to provide thick description and assessment of how and why events unfold as they do. EPR, in this scholarly register, is not a specific methodology for collecting and analyzing data, but an approach which can incorporate various forms of data collection and analysiswhat Hennings described as a 'method repertoire' 23 which commonly include methods such as semi-structured interviews, 24 informal conversations, 25 documentary analysis, 26 narrative cartographies, 27 and participant observation. 28 This methodological flexibility opens up the scholarly register to local scholars and non-Anthropologists, and is central to achieving thick description.…”

Post-conflict interventions are often promoted for their presumed positive long-term influence on peace and justice. Concerns linger, however, that they can also let the state off the hook by replacing, and thereby undermining, its capacity over time. Unfortunately, scholarly research assessing the longterm influence of post-conflict interventions is rare, and practitioner evaluations are primarily shortterm processes regarding individual, temporally bounded projects. This paper explores the potential of, and challenges to, coordinated ethnographic peace research for assessing the longer-term influences of post-conflict interventions writ large on state capacity. A key challenge is identified in the complex interactions between projects implemented a) in parallel, b) at different scales, and/or c) in different time periods; which together mean that any influence observed may be overdetermined and hard to link back to a specific peace or justice project. But, as will be argued, coordinated ethnographic peace research provides hope of overcoming these challenges.

This chapter provides an introduction to ethnographic peace research (EPR) and an argument in favor of its use as a key methodological extension of the recent turn to the local in peace and conflict studies. EPR is primarily an attempt to promote a forceful and rigorous research agenda that centralizes local experiences, perceptions, concepts, and understandings within research regarding conflict, violence, and peace. The original contribution here is the delineation of EPR into three different forms, described as its evaluative, scholarly, and active registers. As described, each of these has different goals and target audiences and demands different depths of analysis and levels of reflection. This new typology therefore identifies the benefits of EPR when applied in response to different demands, conducted for different purposes, and with different audiences in mind.
