This book examines the processes and dynamics of cooperation between different actors in civil peace service projects in Kenya, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Working on conflicts and peacebuilding challenges together with local and international actors has a long tradition in German peacebuilding and is becoming increasingly important in a globalized world. Therefore, the book explores the question, relevant for both academia and peace practitioners, to what extent an equal partnership can exist in the context of civil conflict transformation. By focusing on the opportunities and challenges of cooperation, the work succeeds in focusing on everyday activities, analyzing the actual processes and frictions of peace work, and making a valuable contribution to critical peace studies and the discussion of hybridity and friction. The author Samantha Ruppel is the director of the African-German Leadership Academy at the German Institute of Development and Sustainability and an associate researcher at the Hessian Foundation for Peace and Conflict Research. Her research interests include civil conflict transformation, partnership and power imbalance in peace and development work, and critical peace studies.
