Peace and Security in Somalia and Colombia - Fragmented environments, transcalar contexts: Webinar Series

This public webinar series draws on research from Galkayo and Kismayo in Somalia and Tumaco and Chocó in Colombia’s Pacific region across the CCRG. It explores how peace and security processes unfold in fragmented, multilayered, and transcalar environments, where cycles of violence are shaped by limited or uneven state presence, chronic underdevelopment, and contested forms of authority.

Localised peace and security arrangements are becoming central to efforts by communities and state actors to address insecurity and navigate complex governance landscapes. The series examines how these processes operate within broader political economies and connect across local, national, and international levels, highlighting the potential of transcalar peace and security processes to support more inclusive and sustainable outcomes.
