This journal examines the dynamics of conflict, peacebuilding, and security sector reform across various global contexts. It analyzes the impact of security assistance, the complexities of intercommunity violence, and the challenges of post-conflict transitions, including transitional justice and police reform. The journal also explores the role of international actors, the financing of conflicts through commodities, and the implications of these dynamics for civilian populations, particularly women and displaced persons.
