Peace as Government: The Will to Normalize Timor-Leste brings a
problematization of post-conflict reconstruction processes by
bridging two theoretical approaches that are often placed in
diametrical opposite epistemic poles - the analytical tools
developed by Michel Foucault and the English School. The author
argues that peace operations have a very precise function in the
international scenario - the fostering and the maintenance of a
(neo)liberal order in the international society. He evinces that
this particular function of peace operations is developed through
the will to normalize post-conflict states and their populations.
In order to advance his argument, the author analyses the United
Nations' (UN) engagement with Timor-Leste, since no other country
had the large number of peace operations, the wide range of spheres
of engagement or the depth of involvement that the UN had in
Timor-Leste. The author evinces that this will to normalize
Timor-Leste is rendered operational though the mechanism of
government, the conduct of conducts in a Foucauldian sense,
functioning in two levels. At the international level, the
government operates through discipline, rewarding and punishing the
Timorese state seeking to shape its behaviors as an individual in
the international society. At the national level, the government
operates through biopolitics, which functions through the attempt
of shaping the life-supporting processes of the Timorese
population.
