Making peace by fighting war
Making peace within hierarchy
What do different ways of seeing the world mean for actors engaged in peacemaking? Through the case of Cameroon, I illustrate the critical yet often-overlooked role of one’s conceptions of self in the world – how actors see the world and their positions within it – in shaping peace processes.

Drawing on over 60 interviews, including those with Cameroonian…
