The family Caliscelidae is revised and listed in the Afrotropical Region and is recorded from Madagascar for the first time. Signoreta victorina gen. et sp. n., Calampocus sphaeroides gen. et sp. n., Patamadaga pauliani gen. et sp. n., Sphenax cuneus gen. et sp. n., Afronaso gryphus sp. n. and A. malagasicus sp. n. are described from Madagascar. Rhinoploeus iwa gen. et sp. n. is described from Zambia and Caliscelis swazi sp. n. from Republic of South Africa and Swaziland. Nubianus gen. n. is erected for Issopulex nasutus Linnavuori, 1973. Issopulex chloe Linnavuori, 1973 is transfered to the genus Savanopulex Dlabola and Caliscelis eximia Stål, 1859 to the genus Chirodisca Emeljanov. Afronaso rhinarius cuneiceps Fennah, 1957 is upgraded to species level. Populonia curculioforma Dlabola, 1987 is placed in synonymy under A. rhinarius cuneiceps, Populonia hammersteini Schmidt, 1932 under Homaloplasis curvata Melichar, 1908, Ugandana fennahi Dlabola, 1987 under Afronaso bayoni Schmidt, 1911, and Caliscelis dreyfus Fernando, 1957 under Caliscelis eximia Stål, 1859. New faunistic records are proposed. The possible Gondwanan origin and monophyly of the Caliscelidae are briefly discussed.

This chapter outlines the motivation for undertaking the research presented here, and offers an account of the contexts for the peacebuilding-related activities in which the United Nations is involved: Burundi; Central African Republic; Guinea; Guinea-Bissau; Liberia; and Sierra Leone. The research design is explained, with an overview provided of both the theoretical framework supporting the research and the methodological approach taken. The methodology is a form of discourse analysis engaging both documentary and transcribed interview texts, and this chapter explains how the author uses the concepts of gender and space to structure the analysis in the rest of the book. The chapter also presents an analysis of the literature on peacebuilding to which the author seeks to make a contribution with this research.
