The transformation of the international order represents the most profound challenge to world politics in decades, undermining the prospects of peace and collaboration on the global scale and in Europe in particular. To address these dynamics, the Peace Research Center Prague (PRCP) proposes an ambitious, internationally competitive research program to investigate the key sources of international disorder and their interplay: renewed great power competition, emerging disruptive technologies, the global decline of democracy, and intrastate violence. The interdisciplinary team behind the project seeks to fundamentally advance scholarly understanding of the main factors contributing to disorder in world politics, produce excellent academic publications, propose evidence-based policy recommendations, and foster international collaboration. To this end, it builds on the past six years of the UNCE project, during which the PRCP has established itself as a prominent European research institution in the field of peace and conflict studies and a unique platform for collaborative research at Charles University.
