Abstract

The project undertook innovative research on content, timing, sequencing and ownership of security transitions from the perspective of conflict stakeholders who have made the shift from state challengers to peace- and state building agents. It aimed to analyse the successes and limitations of past or ongoing peacebuilding processes from the point of view of their ‘receiving end,’ by integrating the voice of insurgency movements and their demobilised militants. Nine country cases, namely, Colombia, South Africa, El Salvador, Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Burundi, South Sudan, Nepal and Aceh, were selected so that a comparative analysis exploring cross-country commonalities and local specificities could be drawn.
