Channel: UNU-WIDER
Date: 03/06/2022

During episodes of organized violence civilians are often an overlooked protagonist that can directly influence patterns of violence and resist violent actors. This session brings together leading scholars on civilian agency during war and contentious politics with extensive experience in conflict-affected countries in Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa and the MENA region. Panelists will discuss how civilians shape rebel governance, the different strategies civilians use to respond to armed actors and why such interactions and choices matter for post-conflict politics as well as why ordinary citizens ultimately matter for consolidating peace.
