Making local knowledge
This article analyzes the production of local knowledge in peacebuilding. The local turn has criticized liberal peacebuilding’s exclusion of local knowledge.

I draw on Sending’s work on ethnographic sagacity and the anthropology of colonialism to show tha…

Existing research on the determinants of refugees’ lack of labour market integration has analysed possible factors such as refugee health and education as well as host countries’ policies and discrimination. Based on original ethnographic data generated in Berl…
