Bordering, de-bordering, and re-bordering
This article examines how borders in the context of Fulani transhumance in West Africa are not fixed lines of demarcation, but dynamic spatiotemporal processes shaped by the shifting ecological rhythms of the dry and rainy seasons. Drawing on trajectory ethnography, we trace how Fulani pastoralists encounter, negotiate, and navigate border controls during seasonal movements–patterns which are becoming increasingly variable under climate change. C…
Exposure to border violence erodes military trust
Researchers have long linked weak state presence in border regions to higher conflict risk but often overlook how exposure to border insecurity in these peripheries shapes civilian trust in security institutions. We examine northern Ghana, where rising crime and social conflict due to the insurgency in Burkina Faso and a porous border have heightened local insecurity. Using a mixed-methods approach – combining coarsened exact matching of geolocat…
Poverty-conflict nexus in Sub-Saharan Africa
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) remains entangled in the dual challenges of persistent poverty and recurring violent conflicts, which pose significant barriers to the region’s economic and social transformation. Although existing studies predominantly explore how poverty fuels conflict, there has been comparatively less emphasis on how conflict, in turn, is shaped by poverty. Moreover, the current body of literature on the poverty–conflict nexus in SSA …
Climate-induced redistribution of people is not inevitable
Climate-induced redistribution of people is not inevitable, Boas, Ingrid, Sterly, Harald, Farbotko, Carol, Hulme, Mike, Benveniste, Hélène, Schewel, Kerilyn D, Bettini, Giovanni, Borderon, Marion, Hoffmann, Roman, van der Geest, Kees, Durand-Delacre, David, Selby, Jan, Wrathall, David J, Baldwin, Andrew, Benítez Cortés, Ailín, Bukari, Kaderi N, Bunchuay-Peth, Simon, Capisani, Simona, Codjoe, Samuel Nii Ardey, Dahm, Ruben, Dewan, Camelia, Dijstelb…
Insurgency, Border Contiguity, and Social Conflict in Neighbor Countries
This study investigates how an insurgency in one state can intensify social conflict in a bordering state, focusing on the 2015 Burkina Faso insurgency and its impacts on northern Ghana. Building on past research, we theorize four pathways that can link insurgency to social conflict across the border. We use a mixed-methods approach, combining synthetic control models, fixed-effects panel data analyses, and extensive fieldwork across multiple com…
The bordering and rebordering of climate mobilities
The relation between climate change and migration is subject to fast growing attention in scientific, policy, and public discourse.It is also subject to numerous representations and containment measures that carve out a new form of migration; one that includes visions of which populations deserve protection, should be stopped, or made mobile, and what areas are worth saving.This article interrogates these processes of bordering associated with cl…

Actors and Networks Embedded in Political Vigilante Groups in Ghana
The rise of political vigilante groups threatens democratic consolidation, peace and security of elections and national cohesion in Ghana. These vigilante groups, networked and sometimes formed by political party leaders, are mainly used for party election-related activities that go beyond ensuring success for their political party in elections to include protection for party officials and performing law enforcement functions. However, these grou…
Violent farmer–herder conflicts in Ghana
This paper presents evidence from two cases in Ghana (Agogo and Gushiegu) to examine why farmer–herder conflicts escalate into violence. It argues that aside from resource competition, and crop damage, there are multi-faceted and dynamic processes and factors involved. The cases show that such violent conflicts can be explained by a constellation of actors, politics, land access and citizenship contestations. Many actors are important in this esc…
Market women’s informal peacebuilding efforts in Ekumfi-Narkwa, Ghana
This study examines market women’s participation in peacebuilding in the Ekumfi-Narkwa community in the Central Region of Ghana. In peacebuilding, women are often considered victims and passive targets for aid, rather than contributors to the process. Many studies and peacebuilders have neglected the critical role played by women in the informal sector in peacebuilding, especially at the local level. This study examines how local women help build…
Coping strategies for victims of farmer–herder conflicts in Ghana
(Re)thinking homegrown peace mechanisms for the resolution of conflicts in Northern Ghana
The protracted chieftaincy conflict in Dagbon in the Northern Region of Ghana was recently resolved through an interplay of formal and informal resolution mechanisms, where the latter dominated the peace-making process with home-grown peace mechanisms. In the past, the state through formal liberal peace mechanisms like the law courts, committees and commissions of inquiry, interventions by NGOs/CSOs and peacekeeping operations failed to resolve t…
Chieftaincy Conflicts in Northern Ghana
Chieftaincy conflicts in Ghana are often presented as disputes involving rival groups over succession to traditional political power. However, chieftaincy conflicts are complex and often shaped by constellation of different actors, national and local level politics and elite maneuvering. This paper argues that chieftaincy conflicts go beyond the structural interpretations of competition and contestation for traditional power, but rather processua…
Diversity and Multiple Drivers of Pastoral Fulani Migration to Ghana
The relationship between environmental change and migration has generated considerable scholarly debate. In part the literature suggests that climate change in the Sahel is ‘forcing’ pastoralist groups (mainly Fulani) to migrate to semi-arid West African countries, including Ghana, due to resource scarcity and climatic conditions. Using interviews, focus-group discussions and observations, this article argues that beyond theoretical postulations …
Impacts of large-scale land holdings on Fulani pastoralists’ in the Agogo Traditional Area of Ghana
Cooperation and Co-Existence Between Farmers and Herders in the Midst of Violent Farmer-Herder Conflicts in Ghana
Despite periodic violent conflict between farmers and Fulani herders in many parts of Ghana, cooperative relations between them remain strong. They are "cultural neighbors" who cooperate both in times of violent conflict and during periods of no conflict. Cooperation between them is expressed through everyday interactions, cattle entrustment, resource sharing, trade, friendship, intermarriages, visitations, exchanges, communal labor, and social s…
The role of elite rivalry and ethnic politics in livestock raids in northern Kenya
This paper argues that livestock raids and pastoralists' competition over water and pastures in north-western Kenya are manifestations of local ethnic political contests and rivalries. The culture of raiding among the Samburu, Turkana, Pokot, Borana, Gabra and Rendille communities has changed over the last 40 years. Whereas elders were once the gatekeepers of communal institutions, today new actors are at the forefront of new forms of violent rai…
A Concomitant of Conflict and Consensus
Ghana is often seen as peaceful, but is faced with many chieftaincy conflicts that result mainly from succession to the throne (skin or stool) for traditional political power. Ghana has more than 230 chieftaincy disputes dotted across many parts of the country. However, the Bulsa Traditional Area (Buluk) of Ghana has had a stable and resilient chieftaincy succession despite conflicts arising out of the selection of chiefs. In the selection of chi…
Land conflicts between smallholders and Fulani pastoralists in Ghana
Exploring Indigenous Approaches to Conflict Resolution
Ghana has a number of ethnic conflicts, most of which are protracted mainly because of the type and nature of conflict resolution mechanisms that are used in finding solutions to them. Many of the solutions to these conflicts often fail to adopt home-based mechanisms (indigenous) in resolving them since most of our conflicts have traditional underpinnings. Many resolution measures have been used and continued to be used in bringing lasting peace …
