Abstract

ABSTRACT The article aims at remapping the relationship between Global North and Global South spatial politics in relation to the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda, in the Ugandan post-conflict setting. Our analysis of ‘localization’ draws on understandings of space as a ‘cartography of power’ (Massey), relational approaches and three categories of space, namely representations of space, spatial practices and representational place-space. We argue that representational agentic spaces offer openings for subverting gendered and racialized dichotomies, as it is in these dynamic hybrid place-spaces where agency is generated through shared values of care and community across global-local WPS worlds.
