Megan Price

Megan Price is the Head of the Conflict Research Unit at the Netherlands Institute of International Relations, Clingendael. With over 15 years’ experience as an International Security & Rule of Law specialist, she has conducted fieldwork and analysis on stabilization policy and programming in conflict-affected settings.  

Since 2010 Price has published influential work on international policies and strategies for supporting security reform, armed violence reduction, and rule of law reform in challenging environments. Her research has been incorporated into the programs and policies of organizations such as the OECD, UNDP, EU-CSDP, and several donor governments. The main thrust of her research has focused on security provision as a negotiated political process, the governance and oversight of security arrangements, and the role of informal and non-conventional actors in state building.  

In 2017, Price was appointed Head of the Knowledge Platform for Security and Rule of Law (KPSRL), and oversaw the significant expansion of that community, convening over 5,000 security and rule of law scholars, policy influencers and programming specialists. At KPSRL, she worked to strengthen exchanges across continents and communities of practice, fostering constructive debate and collaborative learning to improve international security and rule of law policy and implementation.
