Home - Center for Comparative Conflict Studies

The Center for Comparative Conflict Studies (CFCCS) is a research and educational center. Our aim is to become a space in which people can engage in the study of the dynamics of conflicts in a comparative framework. While most scholars tend to exceptionalize the conflicts they study, our aim is to work within a comparative framework that highlights broader dynamics of societies in conflict. Our interest and projects are focused on the conflicts in the successor states of the former Yugoslavia and on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as well as other conflicts worldwide.

The CFCCS is based at Faculty of Media and Communication (FMK), Singidunum University. We work in a close partnership with student and professors at the faculty, in our research projects and study seminars.
