Dr Mateja Peter introduces PeaceRep, a new data collection effort.
The PeaceRep Global Fragmentation project looks at fragmentations in the global order and how these impact peace and transition settlements. It explores why and how different third-party actors intervene in conflicts, and how they see themselves contributing to reduction of conflict and risks of conflict relapse. It also asks how local actors are navigating this multiplicity of mediators and neacebuilders and how this is shaping conflict outcomes and post-conflict governance. In the project we systematically and critically assess the growth and diversification of global and regional responses io contemporary conflicts. There is an urgent need to understand how peacemaking practices built up over the last three decades are changing in terms of which actors intervene in what we might have conceived of as the peacebuilding domain, in what constellations. and with what tools. The presentation will look at two new data collection efforts conducted by the PeaceRep Global Fragmentation team, presenting some early findings and visualisation on peacemaking efforts by Russia and China.
