Type one or more search terms into the search box and click on the search button.
The search engine does not distinguish between lowercase and uppercase letters.
A results page will be produced: a list of web pages related to your search terms, with the most relevant page appearing first, then the next, and so on.
Boolean operators
The operator AND is set as default between words. You can combine several words or phrases by using the logical operators ‘OR’ and ‘AND’.
You can also use plus or minus marks for including or excluding words (see below).
Ranking
The more of the words that are present in the page, the higher is the score.
If words appear in the same order as in your query, and close to each other, the score of the document gets high.
Phrase Search
Use quotation marks to compound phrases. If you wish to search for a phrase, you write text inside “…”quotation marks.
Eg. "African studies"
Truncation
Use * for truncation of search terms. A search term does not always have to be entered in its complete form. Search terms may be truncated from left or right.
Eg. Tanza* or even *anza*
Prioritizing Words
Plus marks a word as necessary. By preceding a word or a phrase with a plus sign, you tell the search engine that you are only looking for documents that contain that word/phrase.
Eg. +policy +activities
Word Exclusion
Minus marks a word as not wanted. By preceding a word or phrase with a minus sign, you tell the search engine to exclude that word/phrase and only to look for documents that match the rest of the query.
Eg. nordic -africa –institute

| A partnership between ACCORD in Durban and the DPCR in Uppsala, in cooperation with NAI, has been funded by Sida in order to contribute towards the public goods of durable peace, democracy and sustainable development in Africa. Designed as a comprehensive and mutually supportive partnership, the overall ambition is reflected in the programme title, From Wars of the Weak to Strong Peace: Developing Capacity for Conflict Resolution in favour of Democracy and Human Progress in Africa. The research part of this agreement between ACCORD and the DPCR focuses key aspects of conflict resolution in Africa. The focus is on how to go from armed conflict to war termination and peacemaking (ending a war) to peacebuilding (preventing a new war from starting) via dealing with challenges to lasting peace and the problematic of achieving both freedom from fear (security) and freedom from want (political and socio-economic well-being). I would conceive of this as an interesting panel in general terms, e.g. beyond the partnership, capable of attracting the considerable number of Africanists in Europe working on conflict resolution issues of the African continent. A focus on the role of Third Parties could in this regard be added, in line with the overall thematic of the Conference: ‘African Engagements: On whose terms?’ |
