Abstract This briefing, based on findings from the South Sudan Public Perceptions of Peace survey and qualitative insights from the PEACEption project, aims to compare the empirical meaning of peace internationally and focuses on empirical insights: what is peace to people living in the difficult surroundings of a fragment state, such as South Sudan, where armed violence is a regular occurrence in many of its parts? The report's findings offer a nuanced understanding of the complexities of peace in socially, culturally, economically, and politically highly diverse conflictscapes, highlighting the essential elements of peace as envisioned by the affected communities and the critical role of inclusive, informed policymaking in fostering sustainable peace. The analysis presented here not only contributes significantly to the discourse on peace and conflict resolution but also emphasises the importance of localised peace-building efforts in the lived experiences of those at the heart of conflict zones. This briefing is published as part of the PEACEptions project by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) and its offices in Cameroon, Colombia, the Philippines, South Sudan and Tunisia in partnership with the German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA).
