Trajectories of Governance studies the complex dynamics of order-making, violence and governance in peripheral cities in Latin America from a comparative, historical and multi-scalar approach.
It aims to discover more about the drivers, contexts and uneven levels of violence through the case studies of Chalatenango and Sonsonate in El Salvador and Pereira and Tunja in Colombia.
Based on a multidisciplinary analytical framework, it explains why and how some peripheral cities have become the locus of violent orders, whereas others have managed to control violence, and to examine the role of violence in the workings of local governance.
“A refreshing and timely contribution to our understanding of drivers of urban violence that breaks disciplinary boundaries and offers useful tools to better grasp the complexity of this phenomenon and reimagine approaches to address it.” Alexandra Abello Colak, London School of Economics and Political Science
