Timothy Phillips is a founding co-chair of The Project
on Justice in Times of Transition, now at Harvard University.
He is a co-founder of Energia Global, Ltd., a US
company which develops and owns electricity generation
and distribution companies in Central and South
America. He has served as a consultant to non-governmental
and governmental organizations in the United
States and abroad, including the US Agency for International
Development (USAID) and the Council of Europe,
on democratization, conflict resolution and human
rights initiatives. Phillips is a member of the Board
of Directors of The Foundation for a Civil Society, the
Institute for Central American Studies, the EPIIC Program
at Tufts University, and the International Rescue
Committee.
Students worked with him in considering issues of post-conflict
reconciliation in divided societies and also considered models for building "bridging capital" among different
communities.
Among his current research concerns and program opportunities:
Work on the Basque conflict and the unique role of Elkarri in promoting a peace initiative at the community
and political levels in the Basque region.
Helping the Sri Lankan Government in preparing for the peace process: 1) a classic needs assessment and
conflict analysis for the peace secretariat; 2) training for the peace negotiating team; and 3) a program to
build consensus for the peace process among key constituencies.
