“…As argued above, both regimes as well as individual ruling parties have pursued a dual strategy of weakening and instrumentalizing the bashingantahe. Attempts at integrating the bashingantahe into the state judiciary and using it as a political tool on the local level may have contributed to sustaining it (for similar arguments in other contexts, see, for example, Boege, Brown, & Clements, 2009;Muriaas, 2011;Ntsebeza, 2004Ntsebeza, , 2005Ribot, 2002;Ubink, 2008). Potential spatial variation in the intensity of active promotion may then explain geographical patterns of the present-day salience of the bashingantahe.…”

Where and how have precolonial institutions of conflict resolution remained intact? Although it is often argued that "traditional" institutions can play a key role in managing communal conflicts, little is known about the conditions of their "survival." This article argues that historical, political, and cultural topographies are essential to understanding patterns of the persistence and demise of precolonial institutions. Traditional modes of conflict resolution remain strong where they have been internalized over centuries: in the cultural and political centers of precolonial states. I use original geocoded survey data and historical spatial information on precolonial Burundi to analyze this hypothesis. The estimations yield robust correlations between the geographic patterns of the precolonial kingdom and current modes of resource-related conflict resolution.

“…1 Related formulations emphasizing the contingent, mutable and contested nature of public authority and security governance include the notions of "hybrid orders," "twilight institutions," and "institutional multiplicity", as described, for example, by Boege et al (2009), Lund (2006, and Goodfellow & Lindemann (2013), respectively. "Pluralism" is favoured here due to the value-neutral association of the term.…”

Reimagining SSR in Contexts of Security Pluralism

Within the repertoire of international stabilization interventions, security sector reform (SSR) and other conventional efforts to strengthen security and governance institutions remain central. There is increasing recognition that the policies and practices operating under the rubric of SSR are blind to the empirical reality of security pluralism in most stabilization contexts. In these contexts, both security providers directly authorized by the state (police, army) and a multitude of other coercive actors engage in producing and reproducing order, and enjoy varying degrees of public authority and legitimacy. Recognizing this, research was undertaken in three cities (Beirut, Nairobi, and Tunis) to discern the conditions enabling various security providers to forge constructive relations with local populations and governance actors. Drawing on insights generated by these case studies, this article problematizes conventional state-centric approaches and argues for a bold reimagining of SSR. It makes the case for an SSR approach that prioritizes promoting the accountability and responsiveness of all security providers, integrating efforts to strengthen the social determinants of security, and enabling a phased transition from relational to rules-based systems of security provision and governance.
