ABSTRACT The past two decades have witnessed myriad ‘turns’ in peacebuilding scholarship. This article explores these ‘turns’ and questions their influence on peacebuilding practice – whether intended or not. It examines the features of academia under late capitalism that contribute to this, asks if these shifts are comprehensible to the agents of peacebuilding and whether implementers are willing and/or able to listen anyway. It posits that scholars and practitioners find themselves in a ‘dialogue of the deaf’ arguing that unless this is transformed then conflict-affected societies will see little benefit from the clever pirouettes occurring in the comfort of the ivory tower.

ABSTRACT Many scholars contend that United Nations peacekeeping has entered a period of transition, but there is little consensus about the nature of this transition or where it may lead. This article seeks to place these debates into a broader theoretical and historical context. Peacekeeping, I argue, is but the latest instantiation of ‘collective conflict management’ (CCM), which has taken many different forms in the past and likely will again in the future. In particular, this article seeks to explain the international systemic conditions that give rise to, and transform, CCM over time.

ABSTRACT There is a growing awareness that truth commissions (TCs) often leave victim and ex-combatant participants aggrieved. This is problematic since it can undermine support for peace processes. When attempting to explain such shortcomings, previous research has not paid sufficient attention to the patrimonial sources of TC-participants’ frustration. We argue that such forms of disenchantment are largely caused by internationalised TCs’ patrimonial mode of working, utilising tactics such as motorcades as manifestations of power and brokers to mobilise witnesses. To highlight the relevance of our argument, we use the work of the Sierra Leone Truth and Reconciliation Commission as an example.

ABSTRACT Hampered by serious problems within some countries of the region and in their relationship with the European Union, the European integration process in the Western Balkans has been uneven and protracted. Existing deep-seated problems have so far escaped sustainable solutions, in part because of the mismatch between EU expectations and individual countries’ capabilities. We conclude that managing integration by managing conflict and vice versa is the only credible alternative to the continuation of policies that prolong a situation, which will otherwise remain volatile and vulnerable to exploitation by other actors, including Russia and China.

ABSTRACT This Special Issue will apply Hansen and Wæver’s state/nation concept to the post-Yugoslav states, thereby attempting to explain their divergence in attitudes towards ‘Europe’ and in the EU integration process. It will be highlighted that the evolving state- and nation-building processes after the violent break-up of Yugoslavia significantly deviated in the post-Yugoslav states, with some countries focusing strongly on portraying themselves as Continental European states (Slovenia and Croatia), while others struggled with the establishment of new statehood (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Serbia, North-Macedonia).

ABSTRACT The article draws on Hansen and Wæver’s three-layered framework of state-nation-Europe, and applies it to Slovenia and Croatia. The aim is to examine how nation- and state-building affect these countries’ Europeanization before and after EU accession. The novelty of the contribution is the specific attention paid to the post-Yugoslav space as a reference for nation- and state-building. Our findings underline that the Slovenian and Croatian state-nation concept and its relationship to Europe are not per se fixed frames, but are fluid attitudes, prone to change and reaffirmation. We also establish a comparative difference between the domestic and the Europe layer for the two states.

ABSTRACT The transformative promises of truth commissions equate participation with agency. This article empirically thickens understandings of local agency within transitional justice by disentangling the ways in which ex-combatants were silenced by, and chose silence within, Sierra Leone’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). Illuminating externally enforced silences reveals the theft of agency experienced by ex-combatants within the TRC. Examining TRC silences chosen by ex-combatants exposes the agency of silences deployed by this population and unsettles assumptions that equate participation with agency.

ABSTRACT For its February 2021 coup, the military blacked out mobile internet across Myanmar. Often interpreted as an ad-hoc measure to crush a digitally savvy protest and resistance movement, I propose instead to think blackouts as co-existing practices of connecting and disconnecting that emerged before the coup. Focusing on the role of mobile internet in state formation, this article shows how digital technologies became involved in performing (state) authority in Myanmar: They co-produced both a unifying socio-technical imaginary that glossed over conflicts, and ‘terrorist others’ that are to be disconnected – thus shaping two conflicting statebuilding projects within post-coup Myanmar.

ABSTRACT There is growing scholarly interest in the role of individuals in UN peace operations, but this literature includes very little systematic analysis of how individual characteristics of peacekeeping leaders affect how international interventions are conducted. This paper seeks to fill this gap by building a systematic framework for analyzing the impact of individual characteristics on the behaviour of field-level personnel. I then show the utility of this framework for explaining the human rights promotion approaches of peace operations through a comparative study of two directors of human rights divisions in the DRC.
