Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract Peacebuilding supports the emergence of stable political community in states and regions struggling with a legacy of violent conflict. This then raises the question of what political community might mean in the state in question. International peacebuilding operations have answered that question in terms of the promotion of conventional state-building along the lines of the Western Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) model as the best path out of post-conflict state fragility and towards sustainable development and peace. This article argues for peacebuilding beyond notions of the liberal peace and constructions of the liberal state. Rather than thinking in terms of fragile states, it might be theoretically and practically more fruitful to think in terms of hybrid political orders, drawing on the resilience embedded in the communal life of societies within so-called fragile regions of the global South. This re-conceptualization opens new options for peacebuilding and for state formation as building political community.

Two pillars of China's global peace engagement strategy / Lei, Zhao   Journal Article
Lei, Zhao Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract Building a harmonious world featuring sustained peace and common prosperity has become a lynchpin of China's international strategy. In order to implement it, the government has developed a series of key operational sub-strategies, including a global peace engagement strategy. The main theme of this approach is that China will strive for peace and promote development by means of peace missions mainly consisting of UN peacekeeping operations (PKOs) and international peacebuilding operations (IPBOs). The article argues that this strategy is based on two cornerstones, peace and development. In practice, China takes different stances towards PKOs and IPBOs: it is a far more cautious contributor in IPBOs, because China's understanding of peacebuilding pays particular attention to development, and Western states are suspicious of China's growing power and intention.
