SUMMARY:PSRP Panel: Shaping Inclusive Political Settlements: Critical Approaches to International Peacebuilding
DESCRIPTION:International actors involved in peace processes and peacebuilding – such as third-party mediators\, representatives of UN agencies\, regional organisations or international NGOs – are increasingly seeking to encourage inclusive political settlements. Our panel aims to look critically at how these actors influence processes of inclusion\, and the impact of these efforts in specific contexts. Different international actors promote diverse forms of inclusion\, from the inclusion of armed groups into power-sharing institutions\, to establishing spaces for women\, minorities\, or vulnerable groups to shape governmental agendas. \nAs theoretical ideas and tangible practices of inclusion continue to develop\, this panel invites context-driven papers which address the role played by and aims of international actors in shaping inclusive peace processes. This could include: moral and political rationales for deciding who should be included or excluded; existing relationships between international and local actors\, and the effects this has on inclusion; the role of international norms in guiding particular approaches; and how existing power relations are reproduced or challenged by international peacebuilding efforts. What are the unintended consequences of promoting particular forms of inclusion\, and what challenges are presented by existing practices? We welcome contributions from scholars at all career stages. \nConvenors: Astrid Jamar and Laura Wise\, Law School\, University of Edinburgh \nChair and Discussant: Tomas Van Acker\, Ghent University \nDiscussant: Judith Verweijen \nSpeakers and Papers’ titles: \n\nMathijs van Leeuwen\, Joseph Nindorera\, Jean-Louis Nzweve\, and Corita Corbijn\, Strengthening Local Peace Committees: The ‘local turn’ and ‘effective’ peacebuilding in Burundi and eastern DRC.\nLaura Martin\, Putting the ‘Local’ in Local Ownership: Examples from Sierra Leone.\nLaura Wise\, White Lab Mice and Trojan Horses: Implementing Decentralisation in Kosovo.\nMichael Lidauer\, Civil Society in the Myanmar Peace Process and Peacebuilding – included or not?\nMertkan Hamit and Başak Ekenoğlu\, Possibility of an Alternative Negotiation Method for the Longest National Problem in Europe.\nAstrid Jamar\, Bringing Women and Victims to the Transitional Justice Table – Seeking Participation or Legitimacy?\nChulani Kodikara\, Internationalized justice and local injustice: Addressing impunity for Sexual Violence in Sri Lanka.\nAllison McCulloch\, Joanne McEvoy\, International Mediation of Power-Sharing Settlements.\n\nAttendance details: conference participants\n \nFull paper abstracts [PDF] \nPhoto Credit: © MONUSCO/Sylvain Liechti \n
