Daniel Joseph Fahey, Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management, University of California, Berkeley
Daniel Fahey examines the causes, nature and consequences of Uganda’s interventions since 1996 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), including why did Uganda’s military, political and economic activities in the DRC change over time, and how did international political agendas and financial assistance affect these interventions. His work is based on extensive field research in Uganda, the DRC, the U.S. and Europe.

Orientation
The 2008-2009 Class of Jennings Randolph Peace Scholars and Jennings Randolph Senior Fellows met at USIP in Washington, D.C. from October 5-7, 2008, for an orientation program. This is the first year that Peace Scholars have been invited to Washington, D.C. for the two-day orientation program, part of a new initiative to build more active ties among Senior Fellows and Peace Scholars, and between both these groups and USIP.
Senior Fellows, Peace Scholars and USIP staff members were brought together in five thematic groups and were each asked to address a question relevant to his or her research. Moderators from USIP staff orchestrated intense discussions on the state of the field in each topic, insights from different case studies, and the most urgent questions facing scholars, practitioners and policy makers. The thematic groups were designed around the topics of “How to Make Peace Stick and How to Stabilize Post-Conflict Environments,” “Wars against People: Gender-Based Violence, Rape, Human Rights and the Role of Health Workers in Conflict,” “Post-Conflict Justice and Social Recovery,” “Conflict, Natural Resources and the Pitfalls of International Aid,” and “State-Building, Democratization and International Intervention.”
The Orientation Program included meetings on professional development and networking, with a discussion over lunch on “Building Bridges between Academics, Policymakers and Practitioners,” a breakfast discussion for Peace Scholars on how their program can be developed to meet more professional needs beyond financial support for dissertation work, and an informal dinner on a boat with USIP staff and board members. Finally, a set of briefings at the Pentagon, organized by 2007-2008 USIP Army Fellow Colonel Guy “Tom” Cosentino, Military Assistant to the ASD for Policy, gave both groups insights into policy planning for defense, the development of the military’s current policy on Stability Operations, and plans for the work of AfriCom.
