Whose Peace? How Local-Global Networks Shape Multilateral Peacebuilding Outcomes
Project Summary
In conflict-affected countries, multilateral governance is not confined solely to international actors, but is increasingly dependent on a range of domestic actors within the conflict-affected country, including civil society organizations, local and national government officials, national non-governmental organizations (NNGOs), journalists, and even armed groups.
This project examines how a range of domestic actors in conflict-affected countries, often referred to as “local” actors, influence the effectiveness of multilateral conflict prevention and peacebuilding efforts via formal and informal networks. It is undertaken in partnership with collaborators in Burundi, Colombia, and Sudan.
