Abstract
To create an environment within which mid-space local gatekeepers can play a constructive role in peace processes, it is important to identify bridge-builders who are capable of playing, connecting, integrating and transforming roles in divided societies. Their success will be determined by whether they utilise hybrid peacebuilding drawing on local culture and customs so that they enjoy ‘locally grounded legitimacy’. This concluding chapter recapitulates the main argument of the book, which is that the institutionalisation of a set of multi-layered platforms or spaces for dialogue across multiple cleavages and between local stakeholders and outside intervenors is critical to the development of locally grounded legitimacy, which is a key to effective and sustainable hybrid peacebuilding.
