Description
This panel interrogates the evolving intersections between conflict management, security governance, and development in a post-liberal order. Bringing together diverse theoretical and empirical perspectives, the papers explore how the boundaries between security and development have been blurred, contested and reconstructed in peacebuilding, conflict and post-conflict environments. The panel addresses the role of private actors, corporations and extractive structures in security politics and engages with changes and reforms in the security sector. The panel thus advances debates in security studies by questioning how development logics, economic interests, and normative discourses of protection intertwine to produce new hierarchies of power, responsibility, and legitimacy in security governance.
