<p>Our Forum on <a href="https://link.springer.com/collections/igieceeijj" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Contested transitions and perspectives on peace – <em>Deutungskämpfe im Übergang</em></a> in the Zeitschrift für Friedens- und Konfliktforschung (ZeFKo Studies in Peace and Conflict) is <strong>now available</strong> &amp; further contributions are welcome (in both German and English)!</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Abstract</h3>



<p>In times of transition, actors clash regarding the interpretations of the past, solutions to current problems, and visions for the future. This Forum examines these discursive contestations and their implications for political change (<em>Deutungskämpfe im Übergang</em>). Taking a historically-oriented peace and conflict studies perspective, it investigates how actors advocate for, negotiate, and seek to delegitimize views to drive – or resist – political change. This aims to better understand how transitions unfold and may lead to pathways of escalation or conflict transformation. Studying these processes from an interdisciplinary perspective in both historical and contemporary cases, and regarding conceptual and theoretical dimensions, the Forum advances research on contentious political changes and peace – a key issue in today’s contested times.</p>



<p>The Forum brings together contributions from members of the BMBF-funded research network Conflicts.Meanings.Transitions (<em>Deutungskämpfe im Übergang</em>), as well as from scholars beyond the network.</p>



<p>Guest editors: <strong>Florian P. Kühn</strong> (University of Bayreuth &amp; Gothenburg) &amp; <strong>Jan Sändig</strong> (University of Bayreuth)</p>

<p>During her&nbsp;talk,&nbsp;Hanna Israel discussed ways to reduce societal divisions. As the former director of the international dialogue platform My Country Talks (2020–2024), she shared insights into the innovative project that brings people with opposing views together –&nbsp;what she calls a kind of &#8220;Tinder for politics.&#8221; The goal: break down prejudices and bridge political gaps.</p>

<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Postdoc 1: „South-South security arrangements and practices“<br>(100%, E 13, TV-L, 2 years)</h3>



<p>While Western security interventions and models have been met with increasing dissatisfaction and rejection in various African contexts, intra-African military cooperation, and engagement with security partners from the Global South and East have increased (e.g. from Colombia, China, Turkey, the Gulf states, or Russia). The postdoc position conducts research on these dynamics to contribute to academic debates to better understand such growing arrangements and practices in Africa. The position is open to pursuing innovative research on any of the above subjects with focus on, for example, military arrangements, exchange of expertise and training, security force assistance (broadly defined), conflict mediation, or the provision of lethal equipment. Different regional emphases within Africa are welcome.</p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Posdoc 2: „Transnational Professionals in/from the Global South“<br>(75 %, E 13, TV-L, 1 year, potentially extendable)</h3>



<p>In a dramatically changing world order, transnational security and aid professionals seek to uphold established practices in their respective fields but must also adapt to new circumstances. Others challenge and transform established know-how and professional practices in and across diverse and increasingly fragmented practitioner communities and professional fields. The postdoc will contribute with a research agenda on such changes and how Global South-based practitioners engage with and shape practices in transnational professional contexts. This includes analysing processes of reproduction and contestation, disruption and fragmentation, and the dissembling and emerging of new professional practices. Applicants should have done prior research on transnational security and/or aid professionals that they can build on and develop further to contribute to the project.</p>

<p>The Transferzentrum Frieden Augsburg (TFA) cordially invites you to an interactive talk regarding the <strong>colonial entanglements of the city of Augsburg</strong>. The event (in German) takes place on 25 March 2026 at 19:00 in the Ernst-Troeltsch Room, Annahof (Hollbau), Augsburg, on the occasion of the International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. For further details, please see the following event announcement in German.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p>On March 25, 2026 the Transfer Center Frieden Augsburg (TFA) presents an evening in the Ernst-Troeltsch Room commemorating the International Day of Remembrance for Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Centering Augsburg’s 1528 Welser colony in Venezuela and its role in trafficking enslaved people, a moderated panel brings Latin American, decolonial, and activist perspectives on historical legacies and contemporary issues like extractivism, followed by audience discussion; speakers include Magda Agudelo, Alejandro Ceballos, Jochen Kleinschmidt, moderated by Christina Pauls.</p>



<p>Das Transferzentrum Frieden Augsburg (TFA) lädt anlässlich des <strong>Internationalen Tages des Gedenkens an die Opfer der Sklaverei und des transatlantischen Sklavenhandels</strong> herzlich zu einer Abendveranstaltung am <strong>25.3.2026 um 19:00 Uhr im Ernst-Troeltsch-Raum, Annahof (Hollbau), Augsburg</strong> ein.</p>



<p>Dass die Friedensstadt Augsburg kolonial verflochten ist, zeigt das historische Kapitel der sogenannten <strong>„Welserkolonie“</strong>: Die Augsburger Welser erhielten im Jahr 1528 die Kolonie Klein-Venedig (heute Venezuela) als sogenanntes „Lehen“ mitsamt umfassenden Handels- und Ausbeutungsprivilegien von der spanischen Krone. Zusätzlich erhielten sie die Erlaubnis, tausende versklavte Menschen von der westafrikanischen Küste in die Karibik zu transportieren. Was oft als frühe Handelsgeschichte erzählt wird, ist somit Teil einer transatlantischen Geschichte von Ausbeutung und Versklavung.</p>



<p>Vor diesem Hintergrund fragen wir: Welche <strong>historischen Spuren kolonialer Gewalt </strong>wirken bis heute fort? Welche Konsequenzen ergeben sich daraus für eine <strong>verantwortungsvolle Erinnerungspraxis </strong>und für unseren Umgang mit der Gegenwart – in Augsburg und darüber hinaus?</p>



<p>Der Abend verbindet historisches Gedenken mit politischer Gegenwartsreflexion. Im Zentrum steht ein moderiertes Podium, das die Augsburger Geschichte der „Welserkolonie“ aus heutigen lateinamerikanischen Perspektiven neu rahmt. Dabei geht es auch um aktuelle Konfliktlinien in <strong>Kolumbien und Venezuela</strong>, etwa um Fragen von <strong>Extraktivismus, Rohstoffkonflikten und geopolitischen Machtverhältnissen</strong><strong>.</strong></p>



<p>In kurzen Impulsen und im gemeinsamen Gespräch bringen die Referent*innenaktivistische, <strong>politikwissenschaftliche, dekoloniale und erfahrungsbasierte Perspektiven</strong> zusammen. Im Anschluss gibt es Raum für Fragen, Diskussion und Austausch mit dem Publikum.</p>



<p>Mitwirkende:</p>

<p>On the occasion of the Munich Security Conference (MSC), the <a href="https://www.foks-allianz.de/" type="link" id="https://www.foks-allianz.de/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bavarian Scientific Alliance for Peace, Conflict and Security Research (FoKS)</a> held its annual Fellow Assembly on 12–13 February 2026. Our network was represented by fellows Prof. Dr. Jana Hönke, PD Dr. Julia Eichenberg and Dr. Jan Sändig. For the University of Bayreuth, as one of our member institutions, President Prof. Dr. Stefan Leible was also prominently present.</p>



<p>The Assembly addressed current shifts in security and defence policy – particularly those resulting from Russia’s war against Ukraine and the retreat of the United States from multilateral institutions – and discussed how to provide effective policy advice in this changing context. New research initiatives within the FoKS clusters were also launched.</p>



<p>A special highlight was the FoKS side event, held for the first time at the Amerikahaus as an official MSC venue. The panel discussion “Defuse it or lose it: How to defuse interdependence without blowing up the liberal world order,” featuring among others Prof. Abraham L. Newman (Georgetown University), was moderated by Jana Hönke from our network.</p>

<p><strong>12.2.2026 | 18:30 | Amerikahaus, Karolinensaal, Karolinenplatz 3, Munich</strong></p>

The event will be hosted by Prof. Dr. Jana Hönke, project leader of the Conflicts.Meanings.Transitions network.</p>



<p>Economic, technological, and security-policy entanglements are increasingly being strategically instrumentalized. Global interdependencies have become a geopolitical tool of power – with far-reaching consequences for open societies, international cooperation, and Europe’s capacity to act.</p>



<p>The panel will discuss how Germany and Europe can respond to this development and whether initiatives such as the EU Global Gateway point the way toward transforming dependencies into resilience.</p>

<p><strong>ZUM BUCH</strong></p>



<p>Im Sommer 2021 verließen die NATO-Truppen nach fast zwei Jahrzehnten Afghanistan. Am 15. August desselben Jahres übernahmen die Taliban die Macht. Seitdem wird über die Frage diskutiert, ob und inwiefern das internationale humanitäre, politische und militärische Engagement in Afghanistan gescheitert ist.</p>



<p>Dieses Buch zieht Bilanz. Es versammelt Beiträge deutschsprachiger Sozial- und Rechtswissenschaftler:innen, die in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten über und in Afghanistan geforscht haben. Es stellt auf den Prüfstand, welches Wissen der Intervention zugrunde lag und welche Vorstellungen gegenwärtige Diskussionen über deren Scheitern prägen.</p>



<p>Die Beiträge verdeutlichen, mit welch vielfältigen und oft widersprüchlichen Ansprüchen und Motivationen die Interventionsakteure agierten. Sie zeichnen nach, wie Afghaninnen und Afghanen die Entwicklungen erlebten. Und sie heben die Bedeutung der Afghanistan-Einsätze innerhalb der intervenierenden Gesellschaften hervor. So wird deutlich, dass die Frage nach der Bilanz vor allem eine Frage der Perspektive ist und das Vermächtnis der Intervention über deren militärisches Scheitern hinausgeht.</p>



<p>Mit Beiträgen u. a. von Gerd Hankel, Katja Mielke, Philipp Münch, Conrad Schetter, Florian Weigand</p>
