Call for Papers | Transitioning to a new life: Post-conflict trajectories of former combatants in South and Southeast Asia, 1945-present
15/05/2020 @ 08:00 - 17:00
Call for Papers for a Workshop at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) Yogyakarta, Indonesia, 6-7 November 2020. Bart Luttikhuis ([email protected]), in cooperation with Peter Keppy ([email protected]) and Abdul Wahid ([email protected]).
Deadline: 15 May 2020.
In the study of post-conflict transitions, a leading question has been how former soldiers and non-state combatants can ‘return to society’. Former combatants have often played key roles in the political developments of their respective societies, and in cases of renewed conflict frequently were key players. In this workshop, we are interested in the various trajectories that former combatants in countries across South and Southeast Asia have charted for themselves, and the ways in which their respective governments have tried – with more or less success – to deal with the problems associated with the ‘reintegration’ of former combatants.
