Avdeling for utviklingsstudier analyserer utviklingsspørsmål i regioner og enkeltland i forbindelse med internasjonale endringer.
Borgerkrig og statssammenbrudd fordrer tilnærmingsmåter som kopler utviklingsperspektiver og sikkerhetsmessige analyser. Andre studier tar for seg sammenhengen mellom kjønn, konflikt og fredsbygging, kvinners deltakelse i politikk og sivilsamfunnets rolle i endringsprosesser. Videre står analyser av bistand og FN-systemet sentralt. Avdelingen deltar også i evaluering av ulike utviklingsprosjekter.

Dagens forståelse av rettigheter er et resultat av en liberal juridisk kultur som også gjorde seg gjeldende under apartheid, samtidig som rettigheter og statsborgerskap ble frarøvet majoritetsbefolkningen gjennom et system basert på indirekte styre.

(2011). The Possibility of State Formation: the Experience of Botswana in a Theoretical Perspective,
in European Journal of Development Research, no 1, 2011
.Pallgrave MacMillan.s. 444-458.This article examines the process of state formation in Botswana in the light of the major theoretical literature on the issue. It is argued that neither the geopolitical nor the fiscal theories of state formation can explain why the state in Botswana became so strong and effective. An alternative framework is outlined, in which state formation is seen as shaped by the relationship between states, regimes and social groups. The formation of a strong state in Botswana became possible because it was compatible with the interests of the ruling regime (politically as well as economically), and because the ruling regime had sufficient power to carry out a project of state strengthening.

.Routledge.s. 313-331.The combination of direct and indirect rule in Africa during late colonialism created a dual state where, broadly speaking, rural areas were under indirect rule through chiefs while urban areas were subject to direct rule. This article explores the developments that in Malawi have led to a state in which most individuals are exposed to both forms of rule simultaneously.

(2011). Property, rights and community in a South African land-claim case,
i Anthropology Today, Vol 27, No 1
.Wiley.s. 20-24.In the context of South Africa's land reform programme, the concepts of ‘property’ and ‘rights’ carry a heavy ideological baggage. A shift in government policy, from treating land reform as a question of rights to a question of the transfer of land, has been accompanied by a reification of the idea of community. The result is a policy that is seriously out of touch with the complex legacy of dispossession that the land reform programme was meant to address. These problems become exacerbated when the land in question is part of a conservation area. [url] - Nustad, Knut G (2011).

(2010). State Formation and the Politics of Regime Survival: Zimbabwe in theoretical perspective,
in Journal of Historical Sociology, no 2, 2010
.Wiley.s. 316-340.This article analyses state formation in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. The main question posed is this: Why has state power eroded so dramatically? To answer this question, the development of the state is analysed in the light of general theories of state formation. In spite of a situation which according to prevailing theories was conducive for the formation of a strong state, Zimbabwe entered a downward spiral, where state power gradually eroded. To explain this, it is necessary to move beyond these theories, and analyse the changing nature of the ruling regime's constituencies. While security threats and sources of revenue are important, their impact on processes of state formation is mediated by the inter-relationship between ruling regimes and their constituencies, which is shaped by society's class structure.
