Annual Report 2013
Knowledge for a
More Peaceful World
PRIO Director Kristian Berg Harpviken
PRIO researchers follow global trends closely.
It is our duty to ask to the difficult questions,
identify the dilemmas, and mobilize our
knowledge to inform action. Here are three
selected PRIO highlights from 2013.
The Arab Spring has
largely morphed into
authoritarian politics.
The Syria conflict rages
on, a brutal revelation
of the shortcomings of
international diplomacy.
Peace in East Asia seems
increasingly fragile, with
renewed prospects for
confrontations between
states.
In Cyprus, PRIO’s Centre plays a
unique role with its research-based
insights, aimed at informing a resolution of
the conflict on the island. In early February
2014, news broke about a restart of peace
talks in Cyprus. The combination of multiple
factors, challenging as they are, creates new
opportunities: the embryonic exploration of
offshore gas, the financial crisis, turmoil in
the Middle East and renewed interest by the
US, Turkey and other actors – to mention a
few. PRIO’s team in Cyprus has proven to be
at the forefront in detecting emerging trends
– for example related to hydrocarbon resources – and its expertise is in high demand
from all actors involved. For PRIO, the Cyprus
Centre is a showcase of ways in which quality
research, developed in interaction with the
scholarly community, decision-makers, as
well as the general public, can foster opportunities for peaceful resolution of conflicts.
Even amidst all these
grave developments, it is
worth reminding ourselves
that armed conflicts are
considerably fewer, and
claim far fewer lives, than
they did only a couple of
decades ago.
PRIO’s civil war research is firmly
placed at the international research
frontier. This was recognized by the Economist, which carried a feature article on civil
war in its 7 November issue, drawing heavily
on facts and analyses from our researchers.
The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
and PRIO have entered a three-year agreement whereby our researchers will be in
close dialogue with the users at the ministry
and provide tailor-made analyses of global
trends as well as specific patterns related to
selected geographic areas or issues of particular interest. The continued recognition of
PRIO’s competence on civil war – their initiation, sustenance and end – speaks volumes
about the value of the ten-year Centre of
Excellence Grant from the Research Council
of Norway for our Centre for the Study of
Civil War (CSCW). The Centre was closed in
early 2013, but its ideas, competence and
research agenda remain with PRIO.

For all of us working for a
more peaceful world, 2013
has been a tough year.

The year has brought new resources to
pursue a number of research topics of
strategic importance to PRIO: the impact of
digitalization on societal security, armed conflict and its effects on women’s health and
sexual integrity, values and multiculturalism
in post-terror Norway, the sovereignty discourse around non-recognized quasi-states,
climate change and urbanization – all
awarded grants from the Research Council of
Norway. These new initiatives speak highly
of both the research competence and the
entrepreneurialism of PRIO staff, and bode
well for the future. For you, readers, there is
plenty to look forward to from PRIO also
over the next few years.
So, enjoy this account of what we achieved in
2013, and, for 2014 and beyond, stay tuned!

Comments by
Kristin Bergtora Sandvik (PRIO)
17 September 2013 at PRIO, Oslo
The PRIO Annual Peace Address invites
distinguished guests to reflect on how to
contribute to the creation of a world in which
violence is the exception and peace is the
norm. The lecturers will include scholars,
policy makers, writers, artists and others with
a distinct voice on peace and war matters on
the world scene.
The PRIO Annual Peace Address is an
important part of our efforts to create awareness, stir public debate and increase understanding about the conditions for peace in
the world. We hope that the PRIO Annual
Peace Address can challenge the peace
research community by suggesting new
measures and bringing new perspectives
on peace and war. The questions asked and
the answers sought can only be improved by
critical challenges.

Through extensive collaboration between
Indian and European researchers, the CORE
project (2011-2013) produced new theories
and empirical material on the topic of governance strategies in culturally complex
conflict-ridden environments. The project
particularly analysed the following areas in
the context of conflict resolution and peacebuilding:
a)democratic institution building,
b)development/ management of resources,
c)human rights and rule of law,
d)policing, surveillance and military
operations
e)civil society and international
organisations
The findings of the project serve as a corrective to theories of governance that give
insufficient attention to the cultural biases
and local political dynamics of increasingly
sophisticated techniques of liberal governance. The focus of the project has not primarily been the culture of ‘the governed,’
however, but the cultural premises of the
governance, as seen from the perspective of
the governed, and how these premises relate
to the needs for peace and security that the
governance is supposed to address. This
focus has thereby questioned the very conceptions of peace, security, democracy and
human rights that currently inform liberal
political approaches to conflict resolution and
peacebuilding – approaches that are essential
to EU and Indian security policies alike.
The CORE project was led by PRIO, and
brought together research teams from the
following institutions:
■ Berghof Conflict Research, Berlin.
■ Central European University, Budapest
■ Institute of International Affairs, Rome
■ Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi
■ Mahanirban Calcutta Research Group,
Calcutta
■ Malaviya Centre for Peace Research at
Banares Hindu University, Varanasi
■ Peace
Research Institute Oslo
for Participatory Research
in Asia, Delhi
■ University of Delhi
■ University of St Andrews/University
of Manchester
■ Society
Together, these teams investigated the effect
of governance initiatives on the conflict
dynamics in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus,
Georgia, Bihar/Jharkhand, Kashmir and
Northeast India. The project resulted in a
number of workshops, conferences, reports,
scientific articles and policy briefs, as well
as a book manuscript. More information on
the project is available on the CORE website:
www.projectcore.eu.
The Norwegian Initiative on Small Arms
Transfers project focuses upon research and
analysis on the international trade in small
arms and light weapons (such as Kalashnikovs or grenades), arms trafficking, violence
committed with weapons, and governance
of arms as a means to prevent and reduce
violence. The project has developed an online
database and visualization of the small arms
trade available at nisat.prio.org.

PRIO Fieldwork Network (FIWON)
FIWON is a network at PRIO that aims to
develop and promote competence on fieldwork-based research. The network was established in 2004 and operates through regular
internal seminars that address specific
methodological or ethical aspects of doing
fieldwork. Fieldwork, in this context, can be
thought of as substantial face-to-face contact
between researchers and social actors. This
includes participant observation, interviews,

The purpose of the Peace Research Institute
Oslo (PRIO) is to engage in research concerning the conditions for peaceful relations
between nations, groups and individuals.
Since its foundation in 1959, PRIO has
played a central international role in developing peace research as an important academic
discipline. PRIO is led by Kristian Berg Harpviken, who is engaged in his second term
as Director of PRIO, ending June 30, 2017.
Inger Skjelsbæk serves as Deputy Director.
The research at PRIO is organized into
research groups, projects and departments,
of which the research groups serve as a
driving force of research innovation and
project development. The research groups
are structured thematically to reflect the
Institute’s research agenda. At the end of
2013, PRIO has 15 research groups:
Migration
Gender
Conflict Trends
Environment
Humanitarianism
Peacebuilding
Religion
Security
Law and Ethics
Civilians in Conflict
Governance
Non-state Conflict Actors
Cities and Populations
Regions and Powers
Media
The value generated by the research projects
constitutes the basis for the Institute’s operations, and both the research staff and the
projects are anchored in the three research
departments:
■ Social
Dynamics
of Violence and Peace
■ Dimensions of Security
■ Conditions

Management Adviser
PRIO owns the two world-class journals - the
Journal of Peace Research and Security Dialogue, both published by SAGE. Furthermore,
PRIO keeps key roles in the editorial teams
of the journals International Area Studies
Review and the Journal of Military Ethics.
We consider 2013 to have been a good year
for PRIO, with a high level of activity. The
following research output is emphasized:
■ 5
scientific monographs
(the corresponding figure for 2012 was 2)
■ 70 peer reviewed journal articles
in international journals
(the figure for 2012 was 81)
■ 43 book chapters
(the figure for 2012 was 42)
■ 2 completed doctoral dissertations
(the figure for 2012 was 2)
The institute’s total operating income
amounted to NOK 93 million, an increase of
1.4% over the corresponding figure for 2012.
The 2013 accounts show a surplus after tax
of NOK 3.8 million, against a surplus of 5
million in 2012.
PRIO has a long-term strategic aim of building up its net assets, and the result contributes positively towards this aim. The 2013
surplus will be added to the net assets, which
now amount to NOK 48.1 million, equivalent
to 42% of the total assets. The cash-flow analysis shows a net increase of NOK 18 million
in the institute’s cash equivalents from
31 December 2012 to 31 December 2013.
PRIO’s liquidity situation is considered good.
Current assets are equivalent to 2 times
the current liabilities at December 31, 2013.
The Board is of the opinion that the annual
accounts give a true and fair view of PRIO’s
assets, liabilities and financial situation as of
31 December 2013.
In 2013, the core grant represented 16% of
the operating revenues. Another 36% of the
income came from the Research Council of
Norway through ordinary project grants. The
Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA)
is one of the most important contributors
to PRIO’s activities. Project grants from the
MFA provided 23% of PRIO’s operating revenues in 2013. Additional project funding was
generated through various other funders,
including the European Commission and
the Norwegian Ministry of Defence. It is a
strategic goal to diversify the funding base in
order to reduce vulnerability. Focused efforts
are also directed towards increasing the share
of international funding, which in 2013 constituted 20%.
For 2014, PRIO has budgeted with a turnover
of NOK 113 million, including a core grant of
NOK 16,111,000. At the start of 2014, 82% of
the budgeted income was considered secure.
The Institute has budgeted with a surplus for
2014 as well, and the Board is of the opinion
that the conditions for continued operation
are present.
PRIO enjoys a good internal working environment, and environment, health and
safety routines have been established. PRIO
employees participate in decision-making
at the institute through membership of or
representation in the Institute Council and
the PRIO Board. Reported sick leave in 2013
was 2.5% (2.6% in 2012). No accidents with
physical injury were reported in 2013. The
Institute does not pollute the external environment.
On average, PRIO employed 89 people in
2013, working an equivalent of 68 personyears. Compared with 2012, the number of
person-years performed increased by two,
while at the same time the average number
of employees decreased by two. A total of 110
persons were engaged at the Institute during
2013. 20 doctoral candidates and five master’s degree students benefited from scholarships and/or workspace at PRIO.
PRIO promotes gender equality. In 2013,
work carried out by research staff amounted
to 49.1 person-years. Among junior researchers and doctoral candidates, women were
responsible for 55%, while women accounted
for 65% of the senior researchers holding
doctoral degrees. 16% of the research professors were women. The female proportion of
the 18.9 person-years performed by support
staff was 56%. PRIO makes efforts to prevent
discrimination on the basis of functional
ability, ethnicity, national origin, skin colour
or religious or philosophical orientation.
Activities in this regard include recruitment,
remuneration and working conditions, promotional schemes, staff development programmes and protection against harassment.
In 2013, PRIO's systematic work to increase
the proportion of females at the Research
Professor level received support from the
Research Council of Norway's Initiative on
Gender Balance in Senior Positions and
Resarch Management.
PRIO is engaged in the project Peace and
Reconciliation in the Eastern Mediterranean.
In relation to this project, the Institute keeps
a branch office in Nicosia, Cyprus. Apart

The Board is of the clear opinion that PRIO’s
activities are well managed, and in compliance with the Institute’s Statutes, approved
strategies and annual plans of action. PRIO
is internationally very well recognized within
the field of peace and conflict research. In
the short term, the demand and funding prospectives for PRIO’s research are expected
to remain robust. In the longer term,
challenges may arise from the Norwegian
research policy. Possible scenarios include
a research policy that aims at cultivating
the institute sector as an arena for applied
research, at the same time as universities
and colleges are also increasingly expected to
obtain supplementary funding from external
sources. Expansive consultancy companies
and new public think tanks may narrow
down the space for the institute sector in
general, and for strongly academic research
milieus like PRIO in particular. At the same
time, PRIO demonstrates that solid academic
competence is the best basis for research
relevance. We consider the research milieu
at PRIO to be unique in a Norwegian as well
as an international setting. We develop new
and stronger alliances with other research
environments, and we are therefore of the
opinion that in the long term, PRIO will
prove itself as a robust research institute with
unique qualities and a strong international
profile that is well positioned for further
growth.

Notes to the Accounts at 31 December 2013
Note 1: Accounting Principles
The annual accounts are produced in accordance with the Accounting Act of 1998 and
sound accounting practice.
Valuation and Classification of Assets and
Liabilities
Long-lived assets aimed at permanent utilization or ownership are classified as fixed assets.
Other assets are classified as current assets.
Items falling due within one year are classified as
current assets and liabilities.
Note 2: Separate Bank Account for
Withholding Taxes
The balance in the separate bank account for
withholding taxes at 31 December 2013 was
NOK 2,142,374. The corresponding figure at 31
December 2012 was NOK 2,862,830.
Note 4: Project Accounts
The method of accounting used for projects is
the percentage-of-completion method (Norwegian Accounting Standard 2, Construction
Contracts). Project revenues are accounted
for according to progress and reflect earned
income. Project expenses are accounted for
according to the accrual principle of accounting.
The project balance and any outstanding
income are regarded as sufficient to cover
future expenses needed for the completion of
Note 5: Machines and Furniture
Depreciation of machines and furniture is
calculated using the linear method over three or
five years, dependent on the estimated lifetime
of the assets.
Note 6: Leasing
On 1st August 2005, PRIO entered into an
agreement with the Norwegian Red Cross for
rent of office space in Hausmanns gate 7. The
agreement was in 2009 extended until 31 July
2015, and the annual rent is NOK 2.85 million,
subject to yearly consumer price index
Fixed assets are stated at historical cost net of
accumulated depreciation or at estimated fair
value if less than book value and the decline
in book value is not perceived as temporary.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis
at rates calculated to amortize each asset over
its expected economic lifetime. Current assets
are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable
value. Assets and liabilities in foreign currency
are valued at year-end exchange rates.
Pensions
The basis for recording pension liabilities is estimated salary level upon retirement and years of
service. Deviations from estimates and effects
of changes in assumptions are amortized over
expected remaining years of service if exceeding
10% of the greater of pension liabilities and
pension funds. Changes in the pension plan are
dispersed over the remaining years of service.
The figures include payroll tax. The pension
means are assessed at real value.
Principles for the Entering of Royalty Income
Royalty income is accounted for in line with the
accrual basis principle.
Note 3: Sales Revenues
Sales revenues consist of royalty from sales of
the journals.

the Leadership
For each year employed in the Institute Director
position, the Institute Director accrues 1.5
months of salary, payable upon completion of
the Institute Director term.
Note 12: Tax
In 2009, the Norwegian tax authorities decided
that PRIO is liable for corporate taxation, effective as of the 2008 income year. PRIO disagrees
and has appealed the decision. Pending the
outcome of the appeal, PRIO has chosen to
account for tax as if the institute were liable for
corporate taxation.

Note 7: Pension Expenses, Pension
Assets and Pension Liabilities
PRIO’s employees are members of the
Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund. The
pension plan is regulated by the Norwegian
Public Service Pension Fund Act. The pension
plan comprises retirement pensions, disability
pensions and contingent life pensions (contingent life pensions include joint life pensions and
children’s pensions). The plan also comprises
contractual pensions from 62 years. The
pension plan is coordinated with pensions from
the National Insurance Scheme. Membership is mandatory for all employees who
qualify according to current regulations. At 31
December 2013, 80 employees were included
in the fund, and the number of pensioners
was 3. Calculation of pension contributions
and pension liabilities are based on actuarial
principles. The pension scheme is not based on
funds; payment of pensions is guaranteed by the
Norwegian state (Retirement Pension Act §1).
The Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund
simulates placing the pension assets in government bonds (fictitious funds).

and its work plan.
The Board shall appoint the Institute Director

employed in permanent positions and other
researchers when these are engaged for a period
of over one year. Notice of termination for these
same personnel categories is likewise to be
approved by the Board.
§ 6: Appointment of Institute Director and Deputy Director
The Institute Council and the Board jointly
prepare the appointment of a new Institute
Director. The Institute Council is to deliver an
annotated recommendation to the Board. Before
delivering its recommendation, the Council is to
obtain statements from outside experts.
The Institute Director shall be appointed by the
Board to serve for a period of four years, with the
possibility of an extension of up to four years.
If the Institute Council, within two weeks of
the Board’s first decision on the hiring of a new
Director, by at least a 3/4 majority, notifies the
Board in writing of its reasoned disagreement
with the decision, the Board must consider the
hiring anew.
The Board shall appoint the Deputy Director for
two years at a time, following nomination by the
Director and the recommendation of the IC. The
Deputy Director may be re-appointed.
§ 7: Institute Director: Functions
The Institute Director is in charge of leading the
activity of the Institute.
The Institute Director has overarching responsibility for the planning, running, co-ordinating
and financing of the scholarly activities of the

for information about the Institute externally.
He/She shall also determine what is to be
published in the name of the Institute.
The Deputy Director shall execute the daily
functions of the Institute Director when the latter
is prevented from performing them.
§ 8: The Institute Council
The Institute Council (IC) is composed of all
employees in permanent positions, as well as all
employees in non-permanent positions employed
for 50 % or more of standard working hours
for more than 6 months. All these have voting
rights in the IC. The conscientious objectors and
the students elect one representative each with
voting rights – with personal deputies.
These are to be chosen at separate, annual elections. Further rules concerning these elections
shall be determined by the IC.
A quorum of the Institute Council shall be
constituted by the presence of at least 3/5 of its
members with voting rights. Unless otherwise
determined, matters are to be decided by simple
majority vote. The Chair has a casting vote
in the case of a tie.
The Institute Council shall be convened when
requested by the Institute Director or three of its
members.
The Institute Director takes part in the meetings
of the IC, without the right to vote.
At the beginning of each meeting the IC is to
decide who shall chair that session.
The Administrative Director normally acts as
secretary to the IC. The IC shall keep minutes
of its meetings.
§ 9: Institute Council: Functions
The Institute Council is a consultative body
for the Board and the Director. All matters which,
according to § 5 above, are to be dealt with
by the Board (including work plan, budget and
accounts, appointment of the Administrative
Director, researchers in permanent positions and
other researchers when they are engaged for a
period of over one year) are to be presented first
to the IC for its recommendation.
Unless special circumstances are an impediment, the Institute Director and the staff
representatives to the Board shall also present to
the IC all other matters which they intend to put
before the Board.
Personnel matters are not to be dealt with by the
Institute Council. The Institute Council itself
determines whether a matter falls within its
mandate.
The Institute Council elects two members of the
PRIO staff to the Board. The IC can require these
to take up specific matters before the Board.
§ 10: Freedom of speech
All staff members have full freedom of expression, internally and externally.
§ 11: Statutes
These Statutes are available in both Norwegian
and English. In the case of any discrepancies, the
Norwegian text shall apply.
Amendment of the Statutes requires both a
2/3 majority of the Institute Council, and a 5/7
majority of the Board.
§ 12: Dissolution
Dissolution of the Institute requires a 2/3
majority of the Institute Council, and a 5/7
majority of the Board.
