Samantha Ruppel

Locally Based Civil Conflict Transformation Between Partnership and Power Imbalance (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the processes and dynamics of cooperation between different actors in civil peace service projects in Kenya, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Working on conflicts and peacebuilding challenges together with local and international actors has a long tradition in German peacebuilding and is becoming increasingly important in a globalized world. Therefore, the book explores the question, relevant for both academia and peace practitioners, to what extent an equal partnership can exist in the context of civil conflict transformation. By focusing on the opportunities and challenges of cooperation, the work succeeds in focusing on everyday activities, analyzing the actual processes and frictions of peace work, and making a valuable contribution to critical peace studies and the discussion of hybridity and friction.
