Beyond Securitisation
While dominant global policy frameworks and scholarship often understand violent extremism through securitised and state-centric lenses, this article offers a bottom-up reconceptualisation using a peace studies and gendered approach. Drawing on empirical data from Kenya, the study complicates current understandings by framing violent extremism as a continuum of direct, structural, and cultural violence rooted in everyday grassroots experiences. U…
Mapping the margins
This article explores violent extremism (VE) through an embodied, bottom-up lens, using body-mapping with Muslim women in Kenya. Drawing on two selected body maps, we critically interrogate the use of VE is as a framework for analysing the harm experienced by women. Our participants used the terminology of VE to refer to not only Al-Shabaab–related violence but also gender-based violence, gang violence, and state violence. These insights highligh…
Situating Trust, Values, and Ethics in the Politics of Knowledge Production
This article aligns with voices arguing for the need for trust-building in the co-production of knowledge on violent extremism. Trying to internalize the concept of violent extremism in local communities comes with its own political nuances in the knowledge-making process. A focus on trust-building approaches is relevant not only to those scholars who work on violent extremism research but also to the broad academic study of conflicts, postconfli…
Seeing bodies in social sciences research
While violence is often targeted at and experienced by bodies with different identities or appearance, studies of violence in social sciences research often neglect the body as a data source and site of analysis. This article makes an original contribution to the literature on visual methods in general and arts-based approaches specifically, by focusing on the understudied and underutilised method of body mapping. It is novel in developing techni…
Lived realities and local meaning-making in defining violent extremism in Kenya
Violent extremism is an ambiguous and politically loaded concept, and – at the national level – the parameters used to define it are usually framed by the state, powerful ruling elites, and members of the international community, either directly or indirectly through donor-funded projects. Although different types of violent extremism and extremist movements exist in Kenya, donors and the state often focus on religiously-inspired groups such as A…
Consociationalism and Power-Sharing in Europe
Communicating law, building peace
There has been a growing interdisciplinary concern with the implications of public outreach processes from war crimes trials for new forms of citizenship in the wake of violent conflict. The enactment of such outreach, through seminars, civil society initiatives and workshops, provides a glimpse of the tensions between different conceptions of justice, belonging and rights in the post-conflict period. Specifically, such events constitute a rare p…
Using courts to build states
This paper examines how establishing a new legal institution shapes understandings and practices of citizenship. It does so through a study of the creation of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina (CBiH) between 2002 and 2014 and, in particular, its emerging jurisdiction over war crimes trials since 2006. International sponsors of this institution herald the establishment of the Court as an important step toward achieving justice for the crimes com…
The Hybrid Legal Geographies of a War Crimes Court
This article explores the implications of understanding war crime trials as hybrid legal spaces. Drawing on twelve months of residential fieldwork in the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo, it examines the circulation of evidence, the choreography of the courtroom, and the nature and possibilities for legal observation. Analyzing hybrid legal geographies foregrounds the material and embodied nature of trials, illuminating the forms of comp…
Beyond trial justice in the former Yugoslavia
The arrest of Ratko Mladić on 26 May 2011 and his almost immediate deportation to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) has underscored the significance of international legal institutions to the enactment of transitional justice. In this commentary we will seek to illustrate some alternative discourses and practices of transitional justice emerging across the former Yugoslavia. In particular we analyse a 6-year ini…
