This podcast explores how contemporary warfare is evolving through the lens of paramilitary and militia groups operating in some of the world’s most conflict-affected regions. Drawing on in-depth field research from Iraq, Nigeria, Somalia and more, each episode examines how these hybrid actors – neither fully state nor non-state – are reshaping security, governance and post-conflict recovery. 

Hosted by Dr. Adam Day, the series features leading experts and practitioners who unpack the complex roles these groups play in fighting insurgencies, sustaining local order and challenging traditional notions of war and peace.
