Project description
This project investigates the socialization processes that (re-)configure (violent) security practices occurring in Central Africa. It aims to understand how these are shaped between community members and armed groups on one side but also to study how they impact on eastern Congo, a region characterized by insecurity and inter-community tensions, coupled with the involvement of foreign armed groups.
