Conflict zones are areas where there is ongoing political or military conflict, often resulting in violence, displacement of populations, and human rights abuses. These areas can be characterized by a lack of security, instability, and a breakdown of governance. Conflict zones can be localized within a single country or can span across borders, leading to regional or international implications. Researchers studying conflict zones often focus on understanding the root causes of the conflict, the impact on individuals and communities, and potential strategies for conflict resolution and peacebuilding. This research area is interdisciplinary, drawing on fields such as political science, international relations, anthropology, and sociology.
