“…The relevant question that needed to be explored was rather; what kind of art is being used and practiced and what mediators do with them? After con ducting over 60 interviews, I came to the conclusion, that not only are art and cultural ele ments already "there" but that the "good" mediators are using it when they deem it appro priate; be that to include a shaman at a certain stage in the process or having a poet as part of the mediation team to bridge the gap between different armed movements (Käser and Mitchell 2021). 7 The final report highlights the key themes of timing, power hierarchies, and access, sketch ing out examples where art "worked", while also drawing attention to potential pitfalls when working with art in conflict landscapes.…”

The international sphere is omnipresent from climate change negotiations and sustainable development goals to changing migration regimes and development cooperation. Anthropology not only offers critical insights, but

As anthropologists increasingly embark upon the study of the international sphere, this often builds on different forms of engagement within and around organizations, processes, and institutional corridors. The co-authors, building upon a round table exchange, address the advantages and dilemmas of anthropological engagement in the field of international governance, including humanitarian work, diplomacy, international organizations, the Swiss federal government, NGOs, and multinationals.
