Governance, Mobilisation & Local Order

Abstract

The papers interrogate the indirect mechanisms through which governance shapes conflict, asking how aid implementers alter local power balances and mobilization incentives, and how armed violence can generate pro-state mobilisation rather than opposition, as seen in clandestine paramilitary movements. Together, the panel raises broader questions about how governance is enacted on the ground, how mobilisation becomes embedded in local social orders, and how violence and institutions jointly shape political authority over time.
