Trust beyond borders
Evidence for high-income countries suggests that higher levels of political trust, defined as confidence in state actors, are associated with greater openness to immigration. We argue that in contexts of weak state governance, trust in non-state actors, such as the church or international organizations, may also be relevant. To examine this, we conduct face-to-face surveys, each including a conjoint experiment, in three border locations experienc…
Porous borders and the emergence of hybrid sovereignties
Rescaling Geoeconomics
s This article examines the influence of violent non-state actors (VNSAs) on the construction of large-scale infrastructure projects in conflict-affected territories. Recentering such territories, it challenges state-centric geoeconomic narratives, which often overlook the significant role of local illicit authorities in shaping project outcomes. The study demonstrates how geoeconomic ambitions, such as regional or global influence and energy sec…
Conflict shapes in flux
In contemporary armed conflict, the spatiality of violence and the constellation of actors involved in it change frequently, but how these changes affect one another remains poorly understood. What explains the spatial shift of areas affected by violence in multi-actor conflicts? We argue that the emergence of a new dominant conflict actor facilitates a shift in conflict-related violence. We theorize the causal mechanism as ‘low-risk/high-opportu…
Change in armed conflict
How can we understand change in armed conflict, both in terms of the phenomenon as a whole, as well as within individual conflicts? This Special Issue sets a new agenda on the theme of change in armed conflict. Studying conflict as a dynamic social phenomenon requires embracing interdisciplinarity and methodological pluralism, which this Special Issue facilitates through a shared conceptual framework on five dimensions of change as a ‘lingua fran…
From Vicious to Virtuous Cycles
Since the 2016 Havana Peace Accord (HPA), for many Colombians security has hardly improved. This article argues that this is largely due to socially rooted marginalisation that constrains citizen participation and contributes to entrenched insecurity in the country, especially its border regions. We show how post-HPA community-level responses to insecurity, including constructive engagement with the state, can enhance security and kick-start proc…
Secession or Sense of Belonging? Marginalization in the Context of Transnationality
How does a state's marginalization of borderland communities influence their sense of belonging? We argue that, in unstable regions in the Global South, such marginalization reinforces people's sense of belonging to a transnational community. As we demonstrate, two causal mechanisms account for this process: the marginalization enhances (i) the border's 'disguising' quality that muddies diverse forms of insecurity and (ii) the border's 'facilitat…
Transforming the War on Drugs
This book asks how the international community can tackle the complex causes and consequences that the War on Drugs is intended to address. This question arises against the backdrop of the War on Drugs’ failure to significantly reduce the scale or impact of illicit drug production and trafficking as well as the lack of consensus on the way forward in the international policy debate. Challenging conventional defense- and security-sector thinking, …
Gendering the border effect
In the Colombian–Venezuelan borderlands, the reconfiguration of armed group presence and mass migration create and reinforce conditions of high violence and risk. Against this backdrop, we ask: What are the gendered security implications of the double crisis in the borderlands? Based on fieldwork in four regions along the border, this article argues that the border effect is gendered; the very factors that coalesce to produce this effect exacerba…
The Logic of Illicit Flows in Armed Conflict
Why is there variation in how violent nonstate groups interact in armed conflict? Where armed conflict and organized crime converge in unstable regions worldwide, these groups sometimes enter cooperative arrangements with opposing groups. Within the same unstable setting, violent nonstate groups forge stable, long-term relations with each other in some regions, engage in unstable, short-term arrangements in others, and dispute each other elsewher…
From the Margins of War to the Center of Peace-building
This article argues that unpacking gendered security dynamics helps overcome a binary view of peace and conflict, in scholarship and practice. Drawing on narratives from women and others in the case of Colombia, I show how a gender lens reveals long-term peace-building developments and experiences, and how women start processes that lead to peace, even in the midst of conflict. Therefore, if scholarship is to be conducive to the transformative go…
Borderland Battles
Preventing conflict upstream
This article explores how transnational borderlands matter for conflict prevention and, in particular, so-called upstream engagement, which aims to reduce threats to global stability and security that arise from the world’s increasing interconnectedness. Accounting for transnational borderlands in vulnerable regions is crucial for conflict prevention as pursued by the defence and security sector because borderlands are catalysts of the negative s…
Jiu-jitsu en contexto de conflicto armado
En este artículo se explica cómo la comunidad de Samaniego logró, a través de la resistencia civil, que los abusos de los actores armados en su territorio resultaran contraproducentes, un fenómeno que se describe como jiu-jitsu. Se examinaron las estrategias utilizadas para generar dicho fenómeno durante tres periodos de mayor resistencia, con énfasis en dos aspectos: la estructura organizativa del movimiento de resistencia civil y el acceso a me…
How Peace Takes Shape Locally
Drawing on the experience of S amaniego, C olombia, this article explores processes of civil resistance in the midst of armed conflict. Based on data from fieldwork in S amaniego and other localities in C olombia, as well as literature on civil resistance, peacebuilding, and rebel governance, we analyze the process of mobilization of the population of this war‐affected municipality against armed violence from its beginning in 1997 until the year …
Peace Territories in Colombia
This article explores the outcomes of the peace initiatives of two Colombian borderland communities: Samaniego and Las Mercedes. Both attempted to persuade armed actors to abide by certain rules in their territories, yet the community of Samaniego was more effective than that of Las Mercedes. We use data from fieldwork, including interviews, observation and documents, and secondary literature, to compare the two initiatives. We argue that, despit…
