Details

The team will support a research project looking at the role of corruption in the security sector in the Middle East.

Deliverables

The team will assist directly on the literature review which will be broken into themes to make appropriate size pieces. We have a compilation of existing literature that needs to be sorted and analyzed and it is possible that additional research for literature may be required.

With support, students will determine a sort criteria for the existing material. Identify no more than 20 relevant articles to their theme, develop a notes methodology, and draft an internal report based on the trends in the literature.

Mentorship

The team will have direct support from the leads on the project. There will be regular meetings and feedback. They will also be welcome to participate in the wider research process if they wish.
