Abstract or Description

This brief complements the work of researchers like Kleinfeld and Blattman by seeking to understand in a more inductive way the work of peacebuilders on the ground in Tijuana, a city experiencing systemic, chronic violence. Based on survey research and interviews conducted with those peacebuilders, the brief identifies insights that can help inform a peacebuilding field that includes and integrates work in conflict zones and non-conflict zones experiencing widespread violence. Developing this more integrated approach is particularly important at the moment as we move into President Trump’s second term and begin to see the impacts of his administration in the San Diego-Tijuana region.
