ABSTRACT The incentive for international agencies to promote ‘local’ peacebuilding is commonly premised on the hope that micro-level interventions can nourish grassroots activism and participatory citizenship. Tracing reconciliation processes across Iraq following the defeat of ISIL provides a window through which to view the transactional relationships between ‘national’ and ‘local’ forms of politics, conflict and peace in post-Ba’athist Iraq. This paper focuses on the example of Yathrib, Salah al-Din province, where over ninety per cent of residents were displaced in 2014, and an estimated eighty-five per cent subsequently returned following peace negotiations. The paper uses qualitative interview findings to demonstrate on the one hand that seemingly ‘local’ tribal solutions are built into national-level ‘peace strategies’, while on the other, state capture and power politics is infused into the management of apparently parochial disputes. While these observations are not an indictment of international efforts to intervene at the subnational level, they serve to thoroughly ‘de-romanticise’ the local.

ABSTRACT This article contributes to the growing body of scholarship on sport’s peacebuilding capacity by comparing the role of sport in two peace processes, Northern Ireland and Korea. Uniquely, the analysis is guided by the concept of strategic peacebuilding which goes beyond the much-criticised liberal peacebuilding ‘toolkit’ and emphasises the importance of coordinated action at all levels and by many types of actor. The empirical sections examine the peacebuilding roles of sport at state level – in relation to elite sport, symbolism and diplomacy – and at grassroots level, particularly people-to-people projects. The article shows how and why sport has been able to play certain peacebuilding roles in each case, as well as the constraints on sport placed by structural characteristics of the peace processes. The article argues that the sporting domain can make interdependent peacebuilding inputs at each peacebuilding level, and thus has a distinct potential as a dimension of strategic peacebuilding.

ABSTRACT The popular sitcom Derry Girls is a witty take on director Lisa McGee’s adolescent experience in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. While set in an era of exceptional sectarian violence, Derry Girls showcases the ways that conflict becomes entangled within mundane, everyday life and how young people are profoundly affected by conflict yet are continually excluded from conflict-related decision-making. I draw on Derry Girls to unpack the theoretical framework offered by Berents and McEvoy-Levy that seeks to include young people more intentionally in peacebuilding. This paper offers credence to a movement that defines peacebuilding differently than the state-centric and elite-driven model that has predominated peace and conflict studies, and instead follows the important contributions of sociological perspectives to the field. I argue that a more youth-inclusive approach to peacebuilding requires re-examining the very concepts that underpin ‘youth’ and ‘peacebuilding’ and the barometers by which successful peace is measured.

ABSTRACT This article draws on empirical data collected in Yei River County, South Sudan, to contribute to debates on hybrid governance in Africa. Current literature offers a limited understanding of the practical workings of hybridity, and particularly of whether and under what circumstances hybridity may meet the interests and solve the problems of citizens. This article discusses how subsequent historical attempts at state-building have left a complex and layered governance system and analyses how this system functions on the ground in Yei River County, focusing on the land and justice sectors. The empirical analysis reveals institutional development to be ongoing and to be shaped through continuous negotiations among local stakeholders. Whilst in the land sector, this process produced power imbalances and violence, in the justice sector, unexpected institutional cooperation improved access to justice for local citizens. Important factors in determining these institutional outcomes have been what we have termed the two P’s: pragmatism and power.

ABSTRACT Recent critical academic work in Peace and Conflict Studies has concentrated on the agential aspects of peace but has somewhat neglected structural issues and the different types of power that may be an obstacle to peace. Yet, for peace to take root, to be emancipatory and truly transformative, it seems that issues of hard power, geo-politics and the structures of states, societies and economies need to be re-addressed in a new set of contexts. This special issue concentrates on how peace scholarship and agendas can be furthered in an era of realism, hard power, the primacy of geopolitics, nationalism, authoritarianism and unfettered capitalism. This article explores the fluid and multifaceted relationship between power and peace, while also introducing the contributions to this special issue.

ABSTRACT There is an increasing interest in women and grassroots/indigenous peace methods inclusion in peacebuilding in the Sub-Sahara region. These moves are proposed as subsidiaries to the ‘high-level’ conventional institutions’ methods. Yet, grassroots/indigenous institutions are not recognised, and women continue to be viewed as passive victims to be protected- but what roles do indigenous women institutions play in peacebuilding? Using empirical data and critical literature on gender and peacebuilding, this paper analyses how South Sudanese indigenous women (Honyomiji) institution engage in peacebuilding. It argues that women’s indigenous obligations of leadership, education, social support and religious/cultural ceremonies are crucial in national peacebuilding. Also, it recognises that such institutions’ terms may not be aligned with conventional standards and make the work of acknowledging indigenous peace methods difficult. However, this paper suggests that their inclusion in the national peace initiatives may provide alternative methods for delivering sustainable peace and learning to peace actors.

ABSTRACT Focusing on the role that language and language education can play in peace-building, this paper examines everyday practice through the lens of linguistic ethnography. It investigates Greek Cypriot teenagers learning Turkish, the language of the (former) enemy, and it asks: how were the Turkish language’s associations with violent conflict handled in the practices and institutional organisation of schooling, and how far and in what ways can we say that the Turkish lessons contributed to peace-building? Our findings address the institutional structures and routines of secondary schooling, pedagogic and interactional practices in class, and the links between school and home. The paper concludes with a discussion of what this study might contribute to the notion of ‘de-securitisation’ and to research on ‘hybrid’ and ‘everyday peace’.

ABSTRACT Peace from coloniality has been a device of power within the invention of Latin America which has engaged in different ways of circulation and domination. For example, we see the function of the geopolitical knowledge matrix for the epistemic and practical reproduction of knowledge-power and the appropriation and imposition of a scientific community, derived from modernity, that seeks the classification and codification of a single valid kind of peace. However, it is necessary to denaturalise the structures of how the dominant peace works so that it is questioned and deconstructed, but at the same time allows the possibility of recognising other kinds of peace in Latin America.
