摘要

本文介绍了由加拿大国际发展研究中心(IDRC)支持的非洲领导力中心的一个研究项目产生的特刊。与基础研究一样,本卷中的论文涉及国家建设和和平建设辩论的两个方面,并将“对话”理论作为推进非洲可持续和平追求的有用视角。首先,我们挑战将自由国家建设视为武装冲突后社会持久和平的必要条件的主流方法。其次,我们考察了各种形式的政治解决方案在多大程度上能够实现可持续和平,从而产生更多和平和可行的国家。“对话”的概念是连接研究的两个要素的线索。对话的概念颠覆了关于建设和平与国家建设之间关系的传统观点,同时重新集中了政治解决的一个特定维度。我们认为,建设和平应被视为受影响社会在国家建设连续体中发生的对话的一部分。这改变了传统的方法,即技术优先于政治,权力优先于机构,国际优先于国家和地方。本文介绍了本卷中的文章,其中包括概念和实证案例研究,并讨论了对政策和实践的影响。

Introduction: reframing narratives of peace-building and state-building in Africa
ABSTRACT This paper introduces the Special Issue that grew out of a research project at the African Leadership Centre, which was supported by the Canadian International Centre for Development Research (IDRC). Like the underpinning research, the papers in this volume engage with two aspects of the state-building and peace-building debate and foreground the theory of “conversation” as a useful lens through which to advance the pursuit of sustainable peace in Africa. First, we challenge the dominant approach that constructs liberal state-building as an essential condition for durable peace in societies emerging from armed conflict. Second, we examine the extent to which various forms of political settlements are able to deliver sustainable peace and as a result, more peaceful and viable states. The concept of “conversation” is the thread that connects the two elements of the research. The notion of conversation reverses the conventional view of the relationship between peacebuilding and state-building while re-centring a particular dimension of political settlement. We argue that peacebuilding should be conceived as part of the conversations occurring along the state-building continuum in the affected societies. This shifts the traditional approach of privileging the technical over the political, power over agency, and the international over the national and local. This paper introduces the articles in this volume, which include conceptual and empirical case-studies and it discusses implications for policy and practice.
