What have religion and development to do with each other? "A lot!" This is what our two speakers will argue today - don't miss out and join the dialogue. @fuchsa.bsky.social @langlotzsarah.bsky.social @jeanlacroix.bsky.social @idos-research.bsky.social

A big thanks to our speakers! I enjoyed getting new perspectives on #UN Operations.I hope that ongoing dialogue between #development #research and #practice can spark constructive self-criticism that we need to handle these challenging times. @3dseminar.bsky.social

Missed our session “Can UN Peace Operations Protect Civilians?" Catch the speakers’ key messages👇 "UN peacekeeping protects civilians through military, police, and civilian efforts, but sustaining this impact requires continued political and financial support."

Do you also look forward to today's seminar? I feel that protection of cilians gains more relevance against the background of recent geopolitical frictions. @langlotzsarah.bsky.social @abusch.bsky.social @kmross.bsky.social @paulschaudt.bsky.social

💵Does ODA crowd-in or crowd-out foreign investment? We investigate this question on the subnational level with novel data. Our results show that aid correlates with more investment in the same localities - particularly, if projects signal success. Read more via www.uni-goettingen.de/de/document/...
