[Publication] Commercial security and development: Findings from Timor-Leste, Liberia and Peru
- Commercial security and development: Findings from Timor-Leste, Liberia and Peru
- Commercial security affects a number of development-related factors, such as the capacity of states to govern, overall feelings of public safety, economic growth and social welfare. Findings from field research in Timor-Leste, Liberia and Peru indicate that the relation between commercial security and development is highly ambivalent. Security markets can foster economic growth and ease the burden on the back of the public security sector. Nevertheless, weak regulation of commercial...

[Press] New publication \ When the 'War Attitude' persists: How Pro-Government Militias affect Society in the Long Run
- More than 20 years have passed since the end of the civil wars in Sierra Leone and Liberia, violent conflicts that once involved numerous pro- and anti-government militias. However, networks of former combatants still exist in both countries. This Paper examines the long-term political and social impact of pro-government militias (PGMs).
- Tuesday, 16 May 2023: Fiona Wilshusen, author of the SAD-Nexus-Paper 2022, points out that ex-combatants may remain a threat to peace and security long after the end of the civil wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone: 'Former (pro-government) combatants, regardless of their previous affiliation, represent a potential instrument for exercising political violence—even in the long term'. This is particularly true with elections just around the corner in both countries.At the political level, a long-term problem ...

[Project] The Role of External Actors in civil war economies in Sub-Saharan Africa
- Since 2003, a research programme at BICC on so-called war economies has aimed to shed light on the specific impact of external economic actors, a diverse group that includes multinationals, (neighbouring) countries, private persons, local firms, etc. on the conflict situation. One of the guiding questions was what constitutes a war economy, and how its structural features differ from a 'normal' situation. Subject to analysis were countries and regions in Sub-Sahara Africa, where a vast number of...

[Project] Protected rather than protracted—Strengthening refugees and peace
- The majority of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) find themselves displaced for more than five years—either in their own or in neighbouring countries. Of the three durable solutions for these so-called protracted refugee situations—local integration, resettlement in third countries and repatriation—the latter is still considered to be the best option by most stakeholders. Yet, due to the increasing prevalence of protracted conflicts worldwide, voluntary return often is not possibl...

[Publication] Between reconciliation, resignation and revenge: (Re-)integration of refugees, internally displaced people and ex-combatants ...
- Sierra Leone is known for the successful reintegration of a high number of returning refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs), many of whom had stayed in protracted displacement situations during the eleven years of a most cruel internal war. The war was intertwined with the civil war in Liberia and ended with a peace agreement in 2002. The extremely high number of returnees in relation to the total population caused particular hardship for the ‘...

- This study presents the concept of UN integrated peace missions and, by looking at three examples, analyzes its practical implementation. The missions under review (mission in Haiti—MINUSTAH; in Sudan—UNMIS, and in Liberia—UNMIL) show that the concept is applied differently with varying degrees of intensity but also with varying success. With concrete examples, the study shows where more cooperation within the United Nations would be desirable and where too strong a focus on structu...

[Project] Support and capacity-building in stockpile management of SALW, ammunition and surplus weapons in the Republic of South Sudan
- South Sudan became a sovereign state last year. Recent months have shown just how fragile progress towards development and peace actually is.

The aim is to help improve the storage of weapons and ammunit...
