Recognition is often considered a means to de-escalate conflicts
and promote peaceful social interactions. This volume explores the
forms that social recognition and its withholding may take in
asymmetric armed conflicts, examining the risks and opportunities
that arise when local, state, and transnational actors recognise,
misrecognise, or deny recognition of armed non-state actors. By
studying key asymmetric conflicts through the prism of recognition,
it offers an innovative perspective on the interactions between
armed non-state actors and state actors. In what contexts does
granting recognition to armed non-state actors foster conflict
transformation? What happens when governments withhold recognition
or label armed non-state actors in ways they perceive as
misrecognition? The authors examine the ambivalence of recognition
processes in violent conflicts and their sometimes-unintended
consequences. The volume shows that, while non-recognition prevents
conflict transformation, the recognition of armed non-state actors
may produce counterproductive precedents and new modes of exclusion
in intra-state and transnational politics. -- .
