This book examines peace and conflict processes in Madagascar from the royal period (c. 1540–1897) to 2022, offering a detailed narrative of conflict recurrence and peacebuilding in the country. Through the lens of trans-,multi-, cross-scalar and hybrid governance frameworks, the author explores the dynamics of indigenous peacebuilding while critically assessing the impact of liberal peacebuilding interventions in Madagascar. The book bridges theoretical gaps in peace and conflict studies introducing the concept of multi-leveled peace by analyzing transformative processes of conflict, both destructive and constructive, to uncover the multi-layered nature of peace. Spanning historical, ideological, and socio-political dimensions, it delivers insights into how Madagascar’s unique hybrid governance system interweaves various actors including state institutions, traditional authorities, grassroots organizations, and international actors. The book highlights the coexistence of peace-promoting practices and conflict-generating forces across multiple scales.
