About

Mission Statement

Encyclopedia Princetoniensis aims to facilitate both the analysis of self-determination conflicts and the implementation of innovative solutions, targeting academic audiences as well as diplomats, policymakers, mediators, and claimant groups.

Unlike other resources, the Encyclopedia strives:

  • To be multicultural in design and implementation, consciously avoiding culturally-specific biases;
  • To be globally accessible in real time, with internet access and translations into local languages;
  • To facilitate education and networking among researchers, students, and institutions;
  • To be an anticipatory tool of conflict resolution, with direct impact on conflict resolution processes.
