Operationalisation of the conceptual framework for analysing ALS/CO in the EU's surroundings

WP4 will develop and situate the conceptual framework regarding ALS/CO in the geopolitical, economic and social contexts of the regions surrounding the EU. Task 4.1 will feed back into the work of WP1 and will be conducted in collaboration with WP1. This sets the ground for Task 4.2 by (1) identifying lessons learned from past cases of ALS/CO deteriorating into governance breakdown and violent conflict as well as successful resilience-building configurations of factors, and (2) informing the selection of case studies for Task 4.2. Moreover and based on the conceptual framework, Task 4.1 will formulate a template with questions for the carrying out of the case studies in Task 4.2 so as to insure their comparability.
