Cedric de Coning is a research fellow with NUPI and a peacekeeping and peacebuilding advisor for ACCORD. He is also a special advisor to the Head of the Peace Support Operations Division of the African Union, a member of the Advisory Group of the UN Peacebuilding Fund and an international advisor to AFDEM. At NUPI, he is involved in The Training for Peace in Africa programme (TfP).
His research interests include the role of emerging powers in a changing world order (BRICS, IBSA, South African foreign policy), interventions (how transformative should they be?), peacekeeping & peacebuilding (linkages, trends & challenges), coherence (inherent contradictions and constraints), civil-military coordination and civilian capacity. Theoretically he is interested in the implications of Complexity theory for international relations in general, and for peacekeeping and peacebuilding in particular.
De Coning has a Masters degree in Conflict Management and Peace Studies (uKZN) and a PhD in Applied Ethics & Philosophy (uStellenbosch). He started his career as a South African diplomat in Washington D.C. and Addis Ababa, and he has been with the OAU in Algeria, Ethiopia and Sudan, and with the UN in East Timor and in New York. He serves on the research board of CMC Finland and on the editorial board of the journal Peacebuilding.
