ABSTRACT Coloniality structures everyday (i.e. the familiar, dynamic experiences that constitute people's day-to-day lives). It is, however, possible to build decolonial peace into the everyday as a means of slowly eroding coloniality from within.

ABSTRACT As UN peacekeeping continues to move through a period of change and rupture, we conceptualise this turn as ‘pragmatic’ and take interest in its normative dimensions.

This article assesses the implementation of the 1325 agenda in peacekeeping operations. We contend that the limited results of the agenda should primarily be attributed to the way

Decolonial Politics: State, Statelessness, and Coexistence in Peace Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding (IF 1.77) Pub Date : 2023-06-16 Jan Yasin Sunca
ABSTRACT Due to the colonial continuities encoded in postcolonial nation-states, formal decolonisation reproduced new dominations rather than peaceful intergroup coexistence. Reflecting on the ‘how’ of decolonial politics, I argue that self-determination beyond the nation-state and spatiotemporally embedded decolonial imaginations are the undecomposable components of decolonial politics. I exemplify

‘Pragmatic Peacekeeping’ in Practice: Exit Liberal Peacekeeping, Enter UN Support Missions? Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding (IF 1.77) Pub Date : 2023-05-08 John Karlsrud
ABSTRACT Global politics impact on UN peacekeeping and four trends are worth noting. UN peacekeeping is being downscaled, there is less emphasis on human rights, more multilateral support to use UN peacekeeping in situations of counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency, and an increasing frequency of support to parallel regional and ad hoc coalitions.

Transitional Justice and Inclusiveness: Where Does Disability Fit In? Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding (IF 1.77) Pub Date : 2023-05-03 Janine Natalya Clark
ABSTRACT It is striking that the field of transitional justice has thus far given little attention to persons with disabilities.

The Past, Present, and Uncertain Future of Collective Conflict Management: Peacekeeping and Beyond Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding (IF 1.77) Pub Date : 2023-03-17 Roland Paris
ABSTRACT Many scholars contend that United Nations peacekeeping has entered a period of transition, but there is little consensus about the nature of this transition or where it may lead. This article seeks to place these debates into a broader theoretical and historical context. Peacekeeping, I argue, is but the latest instantiation of ‘collective conflict management’ (CCM), which has taken many different

The aim is to examine how nation- and state-building affect these countries’ Europeanization before and after EU accession.

Previously [Cassin, Katelyn, and Benjamin Zyla. 2021. “The End of the Liberal World Order and the Future of UN Peace Operations: Lessons Learned.” Global Policy 12 (4): 455–467] we argued that the UN must become less directive; accept a diffusion of control; and engage in more locally-driven approaches

Making Space for Indigenous Approaches in the Southwest Pacific? The Spatial Politics of Peace Scholarship and Practice Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding (IF 1.77) Pub Date : 2022-11-21 Morgan Brigg, Nicole George, Kate Higgins
ABSTRACT Indigenous approaches to space and place in the Southwest Pacific are crucial to governing peace. However, ‘making space’ for these approaches can only be progressed if scholars and practitioners recognize their emplacement within hegemonic systems of knowledge and the contested entanglement of Indigenous and introduced systems in peacebuilding practice. Addressing this challenge requires

Peace between Peace(s)? Urban Peace and the Coexistence of Antagonists in City Spaces Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding (IF 1.77) Pub Date : 2022-11-11 Ivan Gusic
ABSTRACT The plurality and subjectivity of peace means that transitions from war are contested – i.e. permeated by conflicts between previously warring antagonists who want to (re)order postwar society according to competing peace(s). But while there always will exist mutually excluding peace(s), such outliers do not foreclose middle grounds where multiple peace(s) can coexist. In this article, I argue

ABSTRACT This article seeks to challenge Global North spatial imaginations of war as ‘there’ and peace as ‘here’. It proposes this spatial rethinking against a background of migration being a defining feature of our time. Based on participant observation and an action research project, the article analyses embodied, emplaced encounters with violence and care that migrants experience in the Belgian
