This book aims to understand the processes and outcomes that arise
from frictional encounters in peacebuilding, when global and local
forces meet. Building a sustainable peace after violent conflict is
a process that entails competing ideas, political contestation and
transformation of power relations. This volume develops the concept
of 'friction' to better analyse the interplay between global ideas,
actors, and practices, and their local counterparts. The chapters
examine efforts undertaken to promote sustainable peace in a
variety of locations, such as Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and
Sierra Leone. These case analyses provide a nuanced understanding
not simply of local processes, or of the hybrid or mixed agencies,
ideas, and processes that are generated, but of the complex
interactions that unfold between all of these elements in the
context of peacebuilding intervention. The analyses demonstrate how
the ambivalent relationship between global and local actors leads
to unintended and sometimes counterproductive results of
peacebuilding interventions. The approach of this book, with its
focus on friction as a conceptual tool, advances the peacebuilding
research agenda and adds to two ongoing debates in the
peacebuilding field; the debate on hybridity, and the debate on
local agency and local ownership. In analysing frictional
encounters this volume prepares the ground for a better
understanding of the mixed impact peace initiatives have on
post-conflict societies. This book will be of much interest to
students of peacebuilding, conflict resolution, security studies,
and international relations in general.
