How can positive change be supported in contexts affected by violent conflict? This summary of research findings on ‘Power, Violence, Citizenship and Agency’ was prepared for the event ‘Bottom-up perspectives on violence and conflict: lessons from Colombia, Egypt, Kenya, South Sudan and Zimbabwe’, which took place on 15 April 2015.
This research report presents the findings of case study research with youth in six locations in Zimbabwe. It shows how young people experience growing up as citizens in a country known for its repressive regime, and highlights the differences for young men and young women. This report argues that a shift in vision is required so that government, aid agencies and civil society recognise the importance of active citizenship among youth and make it a priority area for interventions.
Somewhat controlled by sophisticated legal, administrative and political institutions and strongly tempered by a deep fund of intercommunity cooperation, violence in Kenya has been kept in check, but remains persistent. This IDS 'evidence report' No 71 aims to show one manifestation of how the political settlement in Kenya is upheld by a variety of interlinked forms of ‘normal’ violence, themselves linked to economic dependencies.
This research report presents the findings of case study research in Eastern Equatoria State in South Sudan. The report describes forms of gendered violence at the local level in an insecure state.
This IDS 'Evidence Paper' No 57 analyses how political configurations examined through the lens of political settlements in transition contexts influence national and local levels, types and experiences of violence. Egypt is used as a case study to examine the interplay between the elite power-brokering inherent in political settlements and people’s influence on the processes, outcomes, and very survival of such pacts.
This section analyses twelve case studies on civil society participation and accountability in local governance processes: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Peru, Macedonia, Laos, Tanzania, Afghanistan, Bhutan, Bolivia.
