Panel 19: Translating Conflict (Andrea Behrends)

Panel Organiser: Andrea Behrends

This panel will focus on particular formalised ways of managing conflict situations – ‘models’ that have been conceptualized both globally and locally - and the ways they travel, interact and influence political space in Africa. ‘Translation’ serves as a practical tool for observing particular processes in which actors adopt or transform these models and thereby re-define African space during and after conflict.
