This summer ANCIP was part of 17th Pan-European Conference on International Relations (PEC) held at the Université Catholique de Lille from 27. until 31 August 2024. ANCIP-fellow Jasmin Schmitz presented her research on Local Inclusion in West African Regional Peacebuilding Structures.
In recent years, peace missions by the African Union (AU) and various African regional organizations have increasingly relied on the use of special envoys. These envoys are tasked with advancing peace processes in conflict-prone regions, aiming to strengthen African and local solutions over international interventions. However, the diplomatic interventions conducted by African special envoys have been insufficiently explored in academic research. The practical implementation of these interventions, as well as the necessary social, institutional, and contextual conditions for their success, remain underexplored.
On 8 July 2024, ANCIP was represented at the European Conference on Politics and Gender, taking place from 8-10 July at Ghent University. ANCIP fellow S. Elisabeth Warnck co-chaired a panel on Feminist approaches to regional peace and security in the Global South, with Dr. Karmen Tornius (Freie Universität Berlin).
