Post-conflict spaces are no transitory phenomena during the transition from war to peace but have to be understood as fields of power where sovereignty is constantly contested and negotiated among global, elite and local actors.

We propose that in this way it becomes possible to discern some of the logics that govern how power and space shape each other in post-conflict settings.
