Conference organisers: Didier Péclard (Unige), Martina Santschi (swisspeace), Jon Schubert (Unige), Stéphanie Perazzone (Unige)

This conference seeks to debate the social construction of order and legitimacy during and after violent conflict. It focuses on political orders put in place by armed groups, their strategies to legitimise their very existence as movements as well as their claim to power, and on the extent to which they strive and manage to institutionalise their military power and transform it into political domination.
