Borderlands, brokers and peacebuilding in Sri Lanka and Nepal
June 2019
This policy brief draws on findings from a two-year collaborative research project on the role of borderland regions in war to peace transitions in Sri Lanka and Nepal. The research examines political and economic changes in ‘post-war’ transition from the perspective of state margins, and, by doing so, it inverts the top-down, centrist orientation that informs post-war peacebuilding and development policy.
Pourquoi les jeunes rejoignent des groupes armés au Sud-Kivu – RDC
March 2019
Selon les estimations les plus récentes, il reste aujourd’hui environ 1,632 jeunes, parmi lesquels 128 filles et 280 garçons âgés de 15 à 18 ans, dans les groupes armés présents dans les hauts plateaux de Fizi et de Mwenga, dans la plaine de la Ruzizi ainsi que dans les moyens plateaux d’Uvira au Sud-Kivu. En vue d’apporter plus de lumière à cette problématique, la présente étude poursuit deux objectifs principaux: identifier les facteurs d’incitation et d’attraction des jeunes dans les groupes armés et déterminer ceux qui peuvent les amener à se démobiliser.
