This bibliography
is intended to serve as an information tool for evaluators
and applied researchers working in the context of Complex
Emergencies (CEs) and transition settings, particularly
in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The bibliography is an interdisciplinary collection
of published and gray literature that addresses issues
related to conducting applied research, including evaluation,
in these settings.
Complex emergencies and post- conflict settings
pose unique substantive and methodological challenges
to researchers and evaluators, such as fluid population
movement, psychosocial and physical trauma, and profound
poverty. Conflict often renders populations
inaccessible to both researchers and the services meant
for their benefit.
This bibliography is constructed to cover this
broad range of issues.
While there are many differences between man-made
and natural disasters, similarities do exist regarding
issues of measurement.
Therefore, selected references from the field
of natural disaster studies have also been included
where relevant.
Abstracts were
taken from citation databases or the original works. Where this was not possible
they were constructed by Tulane
University staff.
Full text references can be found in Tulane’s
Complex Emergency and Transition Studies Library. This bibliography is
part of a parent bibliographic database on Complex Emergency
and Transition Studies that addresses a broader range
of programmatic and policy references.
