Summary:The article aims at remapping the relationship between Global North and Global South spatial politics in relation to the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda, in the Ugandan post-conflict setting. Our analysis of 'localization' draws on understandings of space as a 'cartography of power' (Massey), relational approaches and three categories of space, namely representations of space, spatial practices and representational place-space. We argue that representational agentic spaces offer openings for subverting gendered and racialized dichotomies, as it is in these dynamic hybrid place-spaces where agency is generated through shared values of care and community across global-local WPS worlds.
