Most discussions on knowledge production in peacebuilding and conflict management have focused on the study of epistemic communities and strategic coalitions of global and local actors. This article shifts the focus away from who produces knowledge to the underexplored question of how knowledge is generated, repackaged, deployed, or ignored. Combining sociology of knowledge approaches with feminist governmentality scholarship, I critically interrogate the role of reports as knowledge production artifacts and report writing as bureaucratic practices that serve to design and implement UN Peacebuilding Fund (PBF) projects on Sustaining Peace. Specifically, I analyze the role of reports and reporting in four PBF projects on gender and reconciliation in Liberia, and I show how through the mechanisms of persuasion and homogenization, reports serve not only to measure success and failure and to produce contextualized knowledge, but also to exert symbolic power, (re)producing authoritative knowledge on women, gender and reconciliation, and giving legitimacy to external interventions. Studying how knowledge is produced instead of who produces it enables us to apprehend the entanglement of the local and the global and overcome simplistic binaries and oppositions, all while paying attention to how the production of knowledge, and its silences, remains embedded in global power relations.

指标和成功案例：战后环境中的联合国维持和平议程、官僚权力和知识生产

大多数关于建设和平和冲突管理中的知识生产的讨论都集中在对认知社区以及全球和地方参与者的战略联盟的研究上。本文将焦点从谁产生知识转移到知识如何生成、重新包装、部署或忽略的未充分探索的问题上。我将知识社会学方法与女权主义治理学学术相结合，批判性地审视报告作为知识生产工件的作用，以及报告写作作为官僚做法的作用，这些做法有助于设计和实施联合国建设和平基金 (PBF) 关于维持和平的项目。具体来说，我分析了报告和报告在四个关于利比里亚性别与和解的 PBF 项目中的作用，并展示了如何通过说服和同质化机制，报告不仅用于衡量成功和失败并产生情境化知识，而且还发挥象征性力量，（重新）产生关于妇女、性别与和解的权威知识，并赋予外部干预以合法性。研究知识是如何产生的，而不是由谁产生的，这使我们能够理解地方和全球的纠缠，克服简单的二元对立和对立，同时关注知识的生产及其沉默是如何嵌入全球权力关系的.
