3.4 Postwar armed group relations - Aila M  Matanock
Channel: UNU-WIDER
Date: 2022-06-03

Aila M  Matanock presents as part of the "Postwar armed group relations" session of the 2022 WIDER Development Conference "The puzzle of peace – towards inclusive development in fragile contexts."

Post-conflict environments are complex, and the trajectories and behavior of armed groups play an integral part for understanding stability and peace after war. This session brings together leading scholars on the dynamics of armed groups, postwar politics, the rule of law, and state building. They will explore why and when armed actors participate in elections, what we need to know about postwar elections and their relationship to stability, and how different state building efforts such as the strengthening of legal institutions can help counter violence.
