Join us for a seminar with Peer Schouten around his new book Roadblock Politics: the Origins of Violence in Central Africa (Cambridge University Press, 2022), which traces how roadblocks have become the main interface linking global trade to local conflict economies in Central Africa and beyond.
Speaker: Peer Schouten (PhD) is a senior researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies and associate researcher at the International Peace Information Service. His research focuses on the political economy of conflict in Africa, with a focus on how local forms of order-making entangle with global actors and dynamics.
