In this work Dr Clayton uses advanced quantitative methods to systematically assess the conditions that shape the outcome of third-party led conflict management. This work has a proven impact beyond academia, as is evident from the negotiation capacity building workshops he has run in Rome and Beirut for the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property.

His work in this area has been awarded the British International Studies Association award for teaching innovation, the Social Science Faculty Teaching Prize, and two Kent Union Awards for ‘Best Teacher’.
