ABSTRACT

This article will introduce the ‘perpetual peacebuilding’ paradigm. Academics and policy-makers have accepted that the linearity of the liberal peace neither reflects, nor should it drive, the tumult of peacebuilding. Nevertheless, practitioners have made merely cosmetic changes to their approaches. Within the perpetual peacebuilding paradigm, peacebuilding is envisioned as an ever-developing process manifested in a series of (re-)negotiations of the social and political contract. Notions of success and failure and concepts such as ‘tracks’ and ‘peace agreements’ are abandoned, and peace is both utopian and subjective. Lastly, the peacebuilding community is called upon to display greater courage and creativity.

摘要

本文将介绍“永久建设和平”范式。学术界和政策制定者已经接受，自由主义和平的线性既不反映也不应该推动建设和平的骚动。然而，从业者只是对其方法进行了表面上的改变。在永久建设和平范式中，建设和平被设想为一个不断发展的过程，表现为一系列社会和政治契约的（重新）谈判。成功和失败的概念以及诸如“轨道”和“和平协议”之类的概念都被抛弃了，和平既是乌托邦又是主观的。最后，呼吁建设和平界表现出更大的勇气和创造力。
