The Monopoly on the Use of Force and Paradoxes of Security – Discrepancies between Objective and Subjective Security in the Central African Republic and Lebanon

Reinstating the state monopoly on the legitimate use of force continues to be the key strategy used to pacify conflict zones and rebuild so-called ‘fragile states’. At the same time, the empirically measurable effects of state armed forces extending their reach throughout their country on people’s security are at best ambivalent. This project investigates the often paradoxical relationship between the processes of security production in the local security arena and inhabitants’ perceptions of their own security.

Governing People's Safety in Areas of Extremely Limited Statehood: South Sudan and the Central African Republic

Why do some areas of limited statehood produce security while others are fraught with persistent insecurity? This research project focuses on areas where state presence is limited and where other local and external non-state actors are involved in providing security to citizens. By developing a micro-perspective on local arenas of security provision in South Sudan and the Central African Republic, the project seeks to understand what explains the differences in effective security provision in areas of limited statehood.

Security Paradoxes – When Subjective and Objective Security Diverge

GIGA Event
Online event: 14.05.2020

Paradoxes of security describe instances where improvements in measurable security are paralleled by decreasing subjective security or decreasing objective security parallels increasing subjective security. This opening workshop of a new three-year project will bring together scholars from political science, criminology, sociology, and anthropology to discuss the theoretical frame of security paradoxes and discuss its real-world implications. The participants will examine which political developments (change of power, restauration of state authority, arrival of new armed groups, deployment of peacekeepers, etc.) lead to paradoxical effects on security. They will delve into the detailed processes which make measurable security diverge from people’s perceptions of security. The workshop will include a public debate with German foreign policy makers, the media and civil society. Possible academic outcomes of the workshop range from a GIGA working paper co-authored by all participants to a special issue journal contribution. The workshop will be followed up by at least one further meeting over the coming three years to pursue the discussion and its chosen output.
