Transitional justice is premised on participation that allows local publics to construct, critique and have some ownership over the process. The current scholarship assumes that individuals openly express their views of the process, or that they remain silent. The scholarship has neglected a third, significant form of participation: active withholding of views by saying ‘I don’t know’. This article examines such claims to ignorance and argues that they can provide insight into participation. While both qualitative and quantitative researchers of transitional justice have observed a pervasive pattern of high ‘don’t know’ responses, such claims to ignorance have not been studied. This article develops a theoretical framework that shows that ‘don’t know’ responses are a valuable source of information and argues that they are often an expression of a lack of willingness to respond, rather than genuine ignorance. Drawing on an original corpus of data collected through inter-ethnic focus groups and surveys conducted in four former Yugoslav countries, the study demonstrates how claims to ignorance are constructed as novel manifestations of resistance, restraint or disentitlement. These point to a rejection of transitional justice, which needs to be addressed if individuals are to feel like legitimate participants in the process.
过渡正义的前提是参与,允许当地公众构建、批评和对这一过程拥有一定的所有权。目前的学术假设是,个人公开表达他们对这一过程的看法,或者保持沉默。学者们忽视了第三种重要的参与形式:通过说“我不知道”来主动隐瞒观点。这篇文章探讨了这种无知的说法,并认为它们可以提供参与的洞察力。虽然过渡司法的定性和定量研究人员都观察到普遍存在的“不知道”反应模式,但这种无知的说法尚未得到研究。这篇文章发展了一个理论框架,表明“不知道”的回答是一个有价值的信息来源,并认为它们通常是缺乏回应意愿的表现,而不是真正的无知。根据在四个前南斯拉夫国家进行的种族间焦点小组和调查收集的原始数据,该研究表明如何将无知的说法构建为抵抗、限制或剥夺权利的新表现。这些都指向了对过渡正义的拒绝,如果个人想要感觉自己是这个过程的合法参与者,就需要解决这个问题。

Rules of recognition? Explaining diplomatic representation since the Congress of Vienna 识别规则?解释维也纳会议以来的外交代表

The aim of this article is to explore the establishment of diplomatic representation as a measure of de facto recognition by other state units and to explain its causes in the “long 19th century” (1817–1914) and the post–World War II (WWII) era (1950–2000). Drawing on the Correlates of War diplomatic exchange data, the article explores the underlying drivers of dyadic acts of recognition in two series of logistic regression analyses, one for each time period. The results indicate that, also when taking alternative explanations into account, recognition of other states in the international system was in the 19th century at least based on one general principle: that of recognizing other de facto states. In the post-WWII era, contrary to expectations, this principle was still in effect. De facto statehood can thus be argued to constitute a rather stable norm for recognition in the international system.
本文的目的是探讨外交代表的建立作为其他国家单位事实上承认的措施,并解释其在“漫长的19世纪”(1817-1914)和第二次世界大战(二战)后时代(1950-2000)的原因。根据战争外交交流数据的相关性,本文在两个系列的逻辑回归分析中探讨了二元识别行为的潜在驱动因素,每个时间段一个。结果表明,同样在考虑其他解释的情况下,在19世纪,对国际体系中其他国家的承认至少是基于一个普遍原则:承认其他事实上的国家。在二战后的时代,与预期相反,这一原则仍然有效。因此,事实上的国家地位可以被认为是在国际体系中获得承认的一种相当稳定的规范。

Unbowed, unbent, unbroken? Examining the validity of the responsibility to protect 不屈服,不弯曲,不破碎?审查保护责任的有效性

How has the sentiment around the “responsibility to protect” (R2P) changed over time? Scholars have debated far and wide whether the political norm enjoys widespread discursive acceptance or is on the brink of decline. This article contends that we can use sentiment analysis as an important indicator for norm validity. My analysis provides three crucial insights. First, despite the well-known fear of some scholars, R2P is still frequently invoked in Security Council deliberations on issues of international peace and security. Second, overall levels of affirmative language have remained remarkably stable over time. This finding indicates that R2P is far from being obliterated. Out of 130 states, 4 international organizations (IOs), and 2 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) invoking the norm, 65% maintain a positive net-sentiment. Third, zooming into Libya as a case illustration of a critical juncture, we see some minor tonal shifts from some pivotal member states. Adding the fact that interest constellations within the Permanent Five are heterogeneous concerning the third pillar of R2P, future military interventions, sanctioned under the norm, seem unlikely.
随着时间的推移,围绕“保护责任”(R2P)的情绪发生了怎样的变化?学者们对政治规范是受到广泛的讨论接受,还是处于衰落的边缘进行了广泛的争论。本文认为,情绪分析可以作为规范有效性的一个重要指标。我的分析提供了三个重要的见解。首先,尽管一些学者有着众所周知的恐惧,但在安全理事会审议国际和平与安全问题时,保护责任仍然经常被援引。其次,随着时间的推移,肯定性语言的总体水平保持了显著的稳定。这一发现表明,保护责任远未被消除。在130个国家、4个国际组织和2个援引该规范的非政府组织中,65%的国家保持积极的净情绪。第三,以利比亚为例,我们看到一些关键成员国的语气发生了一些细微的变化。再加上在保护责任的第三支柱方面,五个常任理事国内部的利益集团是异质的,未来根据规范批准的军事干预似乎不太可能。

Challenging civil society perceptions of NATO: Engaging the Women, Peace and Security agenda 挑战民间社会对北约的看法:参与妇女、和平与安全议程
IF 2 2区 社会学 Q2 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2022-04-18 DOI: 10.1177/00108367221084561

Engagement with the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda by military actors has caused concern among some of its civil society advocates. For example, NATO has adopted the WPS agenda as an increasingly visible part of its self-narrative. Yet what had distinguished NATO’s engagement with WPS from many other actors is that it came without civil society involvement. The establishment of a Civil Society Advisory Panel (CSAP) on WPS in 2014 is therefore highly significant for both NATO and the WPS agenda. Despite this, the efficacy of such consultation is not clear-cut nor its potential to mitigate militarised understandings of WPS and support transformative engagement with the agenda, particularly given the wariness of some civil society to engage with NATO. Drawing on interviews with civil society, this article interrogates their perceptions of NATO in order to understand the potential of such engagements to support transformative understandings of WPS and more broadly the efficacy of civil society engagement with military institutions. In so doing, it examines how such consultation adds to our understanding of NATO as an institution of international hegemonic masculinity.
军事行为体参与妇女、和平与安全(WPS)议程引起了一些民间社会倡导者的关注。例如,北约已将WPS议程作为其自我叙述的一个日益明显的部分。然而,北约与WPS的接触不同于许多其他参与者的地方在于,它没有民间社会的参与。因此,2014年建立WPS民间社会咨询小组(CSAP)对北约和WPS议程都具有重要意义。尽管如此,这种磋商的效力尚不明确,也不清楚它是否有可能减轻对WPS的军事化理解,并支持对议程的变革参与,特别是考虑到一些民间社会对与北约接触持谨慎态度。通过对民间社会的采访,本文询问了他们对北约的看法,以了解这种接触的潜力,以支持对WPS的变革性理解,并更广泛地了解民间社会与军事机构接触的有效性。在此过程中,它考察了这种磋商如何增加了我们对北约作为一个国际霸权男子气概机构的理解。

Better together? Civil society coordination during peace negotiations 在一起更好?和平谈判期间民间社会的协调
IF 2 2区 社会学 Q2 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2022-03-10 DOI: 10.1177/00108367221077638

Extensive research has been conducted in the field of peacebuilding concerning the role of civil society in peace negotiations. However, although research has stressed the importance of coordination among civil society groups, we have limited knowledge concerning the impact civil society coordination can have on the content of a peace agreement. This article addresses this gap by examining how the extent of coordination among civil society groups during peace negotiations influences the reflectiveness of a peace agreement in regard to civil society viewpoints. We argue that a high extent of coordination, where civil society actors coordinate tasks and spearhead viewpoints together, can help facilitate peace agreements that are more reflective of civil society group views. Based on a comparative analysis of Guatemala and El Salvador, the findings show that whereas coordination between different civil society groups was quite extensive in both peace processes, civil society viewpoints were inscribed into the peace agreement to a larger extent in the Guatemalan case. We identify two factors that contribute in shaping how coordination influences the content of peace accords: symmetrical transfer of information, and openness from the negotiation parties to consider suggestions from civil society.
在建设和平领域对民间社会在和平谈判中的作用进行了广泛的研究。然而,尽管研究强调了民间社会团体之间协调的重要性,但我们对民间社会协调对和平协议内容的影响了解有限。本文通过研究和平谈判期间民间社会团体之间的协调程度如何影响和平协议对民间社会观点的反映来解决这一差距。我们认为,民间社会行动者共同协调任务和引导观点的高度协调,有助于促进更能反映民间社会团体观点的和平协议。根据对危地马拉和萨尔瓦多的比较分析,调查结果表明,尽管不同民间社会团体之间的协调在两个和平进程中都相当广泛,但在危地马拉的案件中,民间社会的观点在更大程度上被纳入了和平协议。我们确定了有助于形成协调如何影响和平协议内容的两个因素:对称的信息传递,以及谈判各方公开考虑民间社会的建议。

In defence of common values: The Finnish EU Council Presidency 2019 捍卫共同价值观:芬兰担任2019年欧盟理事会主席
IF 2 2区 社会学 Q2 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2022-02-25 DOI: 10.1177/00108367221077639

Finland promoted a value-based agenda as the President of the European Union (EU) Council in 2019. The focus was especially on the defence of the rule of law principle. A role as a strong value promoter departs from the pragmatic and cautious tradition of Finnish EU policy. In this article, I will ask why Finland chose to promote values, and what kind of political debate preceded its Presidency term. Second, I will look at the actual promotion of the common values during the Presidency. Third, I will provide some evaluations of the success of Finland’s value-based approach. The analysis draws from comprehensive documentary sources related to Finnish EU policy and her Presidency term, and from 33 semi-structured research interviews among the key Finnish politicians, civil servants and civil society organization representatives in 2020. The article shows that values were thoroughly debated before the term and their relevance increased as the Presidency approached. Finland also succeeded in promoting several values, especially by linking them to practical questions. The article argues that evaluating the success of Finland’s approach is more contentious, which may be tackled several ways.
芬兰在2019年担任欧盟理事会主席期间推动了以价值为基础的议程。重点特别放在捍卫法治原则上。一个强有力的价值推动者的角色背离了芬兰在欧盟政策中务实和谨慎的传统。在这篇文章中,我将问为什么芬兰选择促进价值观,以及在其总统任期之前进行了什么样的政治辩论。第二,我将着眼于在总统任期内对共同价值观的实际促进。第三,我将对芬兰基于价值的方法的成功进行一些评估。该分析来自与芬兰欧盟政策及其主席任期相关的综合文献资料,以及2020年对芬兰主要政治家、公务员和民间社会组织代表进行的33次半结构化研究访谈。这篇文章表明,价值观在任期前就进行了彻底的辩论,随着总统任期的临近,它们的相关性也在增加。芬兰还成功地促进了若干价值观,特别是将它们与实际问题联系起来。文章认为,评估芬兰方法的成功更具争议性,可能有几种解决方法。

A better foundation for national security? The ethics of national risk assessments in the Nordic region 一个更好的国家安全基础?北欧区域国家风险评估的道德规范
IF 2 2区 社会学 Q2 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2022-02-05 DOI: 10.1177/00108367211068877

Aiming at analysing all major security risks to a country, comprehensive National Risk Assessments (NRAs) can be used as a foundation for national security policies. Doing so manifests a modernist dream of securing societies through the anticipatory governance of risks. Yet, this dream resembles a nightmare of undemocratic state control in the name of security. Based on a critique of the politics of NRAs, this article offers a theoretical framework for evaluating their scientific and political credentials. Drawing on political theory of technocratic expert rule, ethical criteria of epistemic reliability and political representation are introduced to the debate. These criteria are then applied to an analysis of the NRAs of Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Iceland. I argue that although these NRAs are convincing correctives to the risk perceptions of politicians and civil society, they are insufficiently reliable and representative for defining the scope and priorities of national security policies at large.
综合国家风险评估(NRAs)旨在分析一个国家面临的所有重大安全风险,可以作为国家安全政策的基础。这样做体现了一种现代主义的梦想,即通过对风险的预期治理来保障社会的安全。然而,这个梦类似于一场以安全为名的非民主国家控制的噩梦。本文基于对NRAs政治的批判,提供了一个评估其科学和政治资格的理论框架。借鉴技术专家统治的政治理论,认识可靠性和政治代表性的伦理标准被引入辩论。然后,将这些标准应用于对瑞典、丹麦、芬兰、挪威和冰岛的nra的分析。我认为,尽管这些nra对政治家和公民社会的风险认知起到了令人信服的纠正作用,但它们在确定总体国家安全政策的范围和优先事项方面不够可靠,也不够具有代表性。

Trembling city: Policing Freetown’s war-peace transition 颤抖的城市:监督弗里敦战争与和平的过渡
IF 2 2区 社会学 Q2 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2022-01-28 DOI: 10.1177/00108367211068876
P. Albrecht, Maya Mynster Christensen
While divided cities are characterized by spatially cemented segregation and polarized divisions, the trembling city is organized around transient and transformative borders. We conceptualize this notion of urban space to capture Freetown’s war-peace transition in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Ex-combatants settled on the city margins, bringing with them spatial strategies from war-fighting into the city by recreating a system of bases. The Sierra Leone Police (SLP) re-emerged with external support, seeking to compartmentalize and fixate Freetown through a combination of force and negotiation. We use borders and bordering to understand policing as attempts by both ex-combatants and the SLP to border in as well as out; defensively against external interference and offensively to make territorial claims. By extension, it is tensions in these practices between attempts to defend and harden borders, and at the same time, expand and soften them that trigger a tremble. The city tremble was a reminder of the possibility of war that Freetown very easily could return to. It also became a more general and inconspicuous condition of the city as an inhabited space, where multiple and often incompatible and conflictual spatial logics, strategies, and practices of policing clashed, overlapped and co-existed uneasily.
虽然分裂的城市以空间上的隔离和两极分化为特征,但颤抖的城市是围绕着短暂和变革的边界组织起来的。我们将城市空间的概念概念化,以捕捉弗里敦在20世纪90年代末和21世纪初的战争和平过渡。前战斗人员定居在城市边缘,通过重建基地系统,将战争中的空间战略带入城市。塞拉利昂警察在外部支持下重新出现,试图通过武力和谈判相结合的方式将弗里敦分割开来并加以控制。我们用边界和边界来理解警察是前战斗人员和SLP对边界进出的企图;防御外部干涉,进攻领土要求。推而广之,正是这些做法中的紧张关系——既要保卫和强化边界,同时又要扩大和软化边界——引发了不安。城市的震动提醒人们,弗里敦很容易再次陷入战争的可能性。作为一个居住空间,它也成为了一个更普遍和不显眼的城市条件,在这里,多种经常不相容和冲突的空间逻辑、策略和警务实践相互冲突、重叠和不安地共存。

We conceptualize this notion of urban space to capture Freetown’s war-peace transition in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Ex-combatants settled on the city margins, bringing with them spatial strategies from war-fighting into the city by recreating a system of bases. The Sierra Leone Police (SLP) re-emerged with external support, seeking to compartmentalize and fixate Freetown through a combination of force and negotiation. We use borders and bordering to understand policing as attempts by both ex-combatants and the SLP to border in as well as out; defensively against external interference and offensively to make territorial claims. By extension, it is tensions in these practices between attempts to defend and harden borders, and at the same time, expand and soften them that trigger a tremble.

The performance of individual international organizations (IOs) has received considerable scholarly attention, not in the least because their importance for global governance. This paper adds to this body of work by adopting genuine comparative lenses. Based on a novel survey, it assesses the attributed performance of 49 IOs over two important dimensions: problem-solving effectiveness and legitimacy of outputs. This reveals variation between IOs with respect to both components. We derive hypotheses from international cooperation and IO design. The quantitative analysis reveals that except deliberative diplomatic practices many factors increasing attributed legitimacy differ from the ones increasing the attributed problem-solving effectiveness. Most notably, autonomous secretariats increase the problem-solving effectiveness attributed to IOs. Legitimacy attributions increase when IOs are regional instead of global in nature and when non-state actors have access to IO decision-making.
个别国际组织(IOs)的表现受到了相当多的学术关注,至少是因为它们对全球治理的重要性。本文通过采用真正的比较镜头来补充这一工作。基于一项新颖的调查,它评估了49个IOs在两个重要方面的表现:解决问题的有效性和产出的合法性。这揭示了IOs在这两个组件方面的差异。我们从国际合作和IO设计中得出假设。定量分析表明,除协商外交实践外,许多提高合法性归属的因素与提高解决问题效力归属的因素不同。最值得注意的是,自治秘书处提高了事务厅解决问题的效率。当国际组织是区域性的而非全球性的,以及非国家行为体有权参与国际组织的决策时,合法性归属就会增加。
