Naming and Shaming Nonstate Armed Groups at the United Nations Security Council
This research note is the first to systematically examine the naming and shaming of nonstate armed groups (NSAGs). While previous research has focused on naming and shaming that targets states, we leverage novel data to show that the practice extends to NSAGs, accounting for almost half of all admonishments made at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) from 1995 to 2016. We develop and test two explanatory theories: one suggesting that partn…
United Nations Peacekeepers’ Perceptions of the ‘Local’
The effectiveness of United Nations (UN) interventions relies on peacekeepers’ capacity to engage with local actors, and UN policies increasingly underline the need to include local actors in peacekeeping and peacebuilding. However, little is known about how military peacekeepers themselves understand this goal and perceive local actors. This study aims to address this gap by conducting a survey and interviews with Swedish military personnel depl…
From Confrontation to Cooperation
In various conflict contexts where the state is unable to maintain security and public order, non-state armed groups (NSAGs) and the United Nations (UN) conduct their activities alongside one another. While previous research has focused on hostile relations between the UN and NSAGs, less attention has been given to collaborative interactions. This paper aims to address this research gap by formulating a novel conceptual typology of NSAG–UN intera…
Prison reform in conflict-affected contexts
Prisons are key institutions for strengthening justice and security and are increasingly targets of international interventions. However, prison reform in conflict-affected settings is understudied. To understand the conditions underpinning successes and pitfalls of international prison reform, this study examines the local conditions under which international prison reform interventions take place. Drawing on unique data from interviews with inm…
Deradicalisation, disengagement, rehabilitation and reintegration of violent extremists in conflict-affected contexts
This article identifies, assesses and synthesises existing literature on deradicalisation, disengagement, rehabilitation and reintegration (DDRR) in conflict-affected states through a systematic literature review. While existing research has methodological shortcomings and determining the outcomes of DDRR programmes is challenging, 12 common themes surfaced in the synthesis. According to the studies selected, varying experiences of the individual…
