SUMMARY:Alternatives to Incarceration in Latin America and the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:Drug laws and the region’s untenable prison crisis are at the center of the drug policy debate in Latin America and the Caribbean. The incarceration of low-level drug offenders for exceptionally long sentences has left the region’s prisons bursting at the seams; the impact is not only felt by those incarcerated\, but also by their families and communities. Cutting edge research by the Colectivo de Estudios Drogas y Derecho (Research Consortium on Drugs and the Law\, CEDD) and the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) sheds new light on the problem and efforts to address it through alternatives to incarceration. \nThe latest investigation carried out by CEDD\, which brings together researchers from 9 Latin American countries\, shows that despite the lively debate taking place across the region\, the number of people incarcerated for drug offenses continues to grow. The SSRC’s Drugs\, Security and Democracy (DSD) Program is carrying out an investigation on drug courts in Latin America and the Caribbean. The research to date offers an analysis and critique of drug courts as a public policy option that is increasingly under consideration by Latin American and Caribbean countries\, and the lessons to be learned from the U.S. experience. The session will conclude with a discussion of other alternatives to incarceration\, including measures taken prior to the initiation of a criminal proceeding.

SUMMARY:Congolese Research Network on Peace and Security (ResCongo) - Annual Conference 2019
DESCRIPTION:ResCongo held its second annual conference from 9-10 October 2019\, in collaboration with the SSRC’s Understanding Violent Conflict (UVC) program\, the University of Kinshasa (UNIKIN)\, Institut Supérieur Pédagogique de Bukavu (ISP-Bukavu)\, and the Conflict Research Group (CRG) at Ghent University\, at Hôtel Beau Lieu in Bukavu. UVC director Dr. Tatiana Carayannis was invited to attend as a member of the advisory committee. ResCongo invited members and interested researchers to submit abstracts\, draft papers\, and present their work through a call for proposals. The theme of the conference was “Citizenship\, Conflict and Cross-Border Mobility: A Look at DRC and its Neighbors.”The conference began with opening remarks from Godefroid Muzalia\, Professor at the department of history & social science at the ISP-Bukavu and head of the research group for conflict and human security (GEC-SH) at the University Research Center of Kivu. Over the course of two days\, conference leaders and participants held panels on topics ranging from “Dynamics of armed groups and contexts of insecurity” to “Socio-professional mobility and cross-border trade.” Prominent Congolese researchers led most of the panel discussions\, while Dr. Carayannis was asked to co-lead a discussion on methodologies\, the usefulness of scientific research\, and how scientific research can best inform public policy.ResCongo\, the first national Congolese network of researchers working on peace and security issues\, is a virtual platform that promotes and facilitates exchanges among Congolese scholars\, connecting and enhancing the participation of these researchers in international academic and policy discussions. ResCongo was created in October 2016 and is coordinated by Professor Jose Bazonzi (UNIKIN) and Professor Godefroid Muzalia Kihangu (ISP-Bukavu & GEC-SH).Support for the creation of the website and virtual presence of ResCongo comes from the UK Department for International Development (DFID)\, while funding for the conference was provided by LSE’s Centre for Public Authority and International Development (CPAID) through the UK Economic and Social Research Council and Global Challenges Research Fund (ESRC-GCRF).
