The impact of overseas conflict on UK communities
The impact of overseas conflict on UK communities
Researchers and policy-makers have a limited understanding of the ways in which conflicts overseas are affecting communities in the UK, except when there are substantial flows of asylum seekers and migrants from conflict regions. Yet globalisation has intensified and changed the international connections of UK communities. This research studied
the impact of conflict on communities in the UK from three areas: Afghanistan/Pakistan, the Great Lakes region (Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Uganda) and the western Balkans.
The report:
• looks at why some communities are affected more by overseas conflict than others;
• examines six detailed case studies of communities affected by overseas conflict;
• assesses how different communities challenge assumptions of mainstream society about particular conflicts; and
• considers the ways in which service providers at national and local level can support communities affected by overseas conflict.

Abstract
Researchers and policy-makers have a limited understanding of the ways in which conflicts overseas are affecting communities in the UK, except when there are substantial flows of asylum seekers and migrants from conflict regions. Yet globalisation has intensified and changed the international connections of UK communities. This research studied
the impact of conflict on communities in the UK from three areas: Afghanistan/Pakistan, the Great Lakes region (Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Uganda) and the western Balkans.
The report:
• looks at why some communities are affected more by overseas conflict than others;
• examines six detailed case studies of communities affected by overseas conflict;
• assesses how different communities challenge assumptions of mainstream society about particular conflicts; and
• considers the ways in which service providers at national and local level can support communities affected by overseas conflict.
