    In Search of security without guns: The role of grassroots institutions in addressing Conflict and Mitigating Conflict in Tanzania
    (The African Review, 2018-06) Bernadeta, Killian; Parestico, Pastory
    Over recent decades there has been an increasing recognition that a sizeable share of justice and security provision takes place outside state structures. Consequently, there has been a mounting interest in studying non-state actors in security and justice provision including grassroots community structures. Although there is a plethora of studies on the role of grassroots security institutions in Africa, such studies remain largely gender-blind. This article contributes to the existing knowledge on community organized-security mechanisms by exploring the manner in which gender roles and relations are socially constructed at the grassroots structures of justice, peace and security.
