The Legacy of Armed Conflicts: Southern African and Comparative Perspectives, 28-29 July
The Legacy of Armed Conflicts: Southern African and Comparative Perspectives, 28-29 July
The Centre for the Study of Governance Innovation (GovInn), in cooperation with the German Institute of Global and Area Studies (GIGA), invites submissions for a two-day workshop on the legacy of armed conflicts: Southern African and comparative perspectives.
Achieving stable peace, building accountable state institutions and (re)establishing trust are core challenges in the aftermath of an armed conflict. While violent conflicts are disruptive, they also offer opportunities for political and social change. However, the passage from conflict to sustainable peace is a complicated process. Formal and informal processes taking place during the war and in its immediate aftermath can have profound long-term implications. Even in Southern Africa, which has been heralded as a ‘success story’ of peacebuilding, past wars continue to shape politics and societies in many ways.
