Hierarchies Policy Paper Series: The Hierarchies Policy Paper Series (HPPS) serves to create and disseminate policy relevant knowledge created within the network ‘Postcolonial Hierarchies in Peace & Conflict’ (HIERARCHIES), while making it available to a broader audience of political actors of plural and diverse backgrounds. The Hierarchies PPS showcases research pieces that stem from collaborative research between scholars from the Global South and Global North. Our Policy Papers emphazise issues of reflexivity and positionality and question the largely unequal relations of power in which the production and circulation of knowledge regarding peace and conflict (studies) is embedded.
