• Towards a theory of ex-combatant reintegration 

      Torjesen, Stina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      This paper encourages the development of a theoretical framework for the study of the reintegration of ex-combatants after war. It takes the first steps towards this by proposing a new definition of reintegration, where the processes ex-combatants experience, rather than the programmatic support offered by international and national agencies, take centre stage. The article links the study of ...

Some critics have labeled the response a mistake. Others ...

      Shrestha, Ramesh; Subedi, Dambaru (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-25)
      This article examines how participation and mobilization of youth in politics has led to an unintended consequence: youth‐led violence. We define youth‐led violence as a particular form of political violence that emerged from an interplay between political power, domination, and rent‐seeking behavior. To elaborate on youth‐led violence between 1990 and 2018 in Nepal, we identified and analyzed ...
