Hybrid peace describes a post-conflict peacebuilding approach that combines international and local practices, norms, and actors. It recognizes that peace is not solely imposed by external forces but emerges through a negotiated mix of global interventions and indigenous traditions. This concept highlights the complexity and plurality of peace processes in contemporary conflicts, where multiple layers of authority and legitimacy coexist.
