Pakistan Institute for Peace Studies (PIPS) became an affiliate institute of the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence (ICSR) at King’s College, London in June 2009. The study of radicalisation and political violence is also one of the key thematic and programmatic areas of the PIPS. It is hoped that the PIPS and the ICSR would add a lot to the efforts aimed at addressing these challenges at regional and global level by sharing, strengthening and extending their knowledge and research-based advocacy. These efforts may include taking part in collaborative research programmes, exchange of scholars, cross-participation in events and conferences, and sharing knowledge and expertise.
