Book Synopsis The Politics of Peacebuilding in a Diverse World by : Xavier Mathieu
Download or read book The Politics of Peacebuilding in a Diverse World written by Xavier Mathieu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the understanding of ‘difference’ in the field of peacebuilding and offers new ways to consider diversity in the context of international interventions. International peacebuilding as a practice and academic field has always been embroiled in the ‘problem’ of difference. For mainstream scholars and policy-makers, local views, histories, and cultural codes are often seen as an obstacle on the way to peace. For critical scholars, international interventions have failed because of the very superficial attention given to the needs, values, and experience of the people in post-conflict societies. Yet the current proposals of hybrid peace and emancipation seem to reproduce Eurocentric lenses and problematic binaries. Differently inspired by feminist, post-structuralist, and new materialist perspectives, the authors assembled in this volume give sustained attention to the theorisation and practice of difference. Taken together, these contributions show that differences are always multidimensional, non-essential, and are reflections of broader power and gender inequalities. This book thus makes a major contribution to the field of critical peacebuilding by revisiting the ‘problem’ of difference. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding.
Book Synopsis Affect, Emotions and Power in Development Studies Theory and Practice by : Tanya Jakimow
Download or read book Affect, Emotions and Power in Development Studies Theory and Practice written by Tanya Jakimow and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book advances new research directions that explore the emotional and affective dimensions of development. Going beyond merely placing emotion and/or affect as the objects of study, it examines ‘development’ in fresh ways through analysis of its affective dimensions. Affect and emotions are complicit in the structural conditions that sustain material and social inequalities and deprivations, and critical to the potential for disruption and transformation. The chapters in this volume demonstrate how affect and emotions enrich understandings of, or rethink power configurations in development while being attentive to forces of destabilization and creativity. They unravel the subtleties of power in development from micro to macro scales, enhance the understanding of development as an inherently political process, and highlight the possibilities for resistance and transformation. The book introduces new lines of enquiry to understand power in development theory and practice, grounded in rich empirical research from across Asia and Australia and will be a valuable resource for students and researchers of anthropology, third world studies, development studies and development theory. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Third World Quarterly.
Book Synopsis The Practice of Humanitarian Intervention by : Kai Koddenbrock
Download or read book The Practice of Humanitarian Intervention written by Kai Koddenbrock and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the practices in Western and local spheres of humanitarian intervention, and shows how the divide between these spheres helps to perpetuate Western involvement. Using the Democratic Republic of the Congo as a case study – an object of Western intervention since colonial times – this book scrutinizes the contemporary practice of humanitarian intervention from the inside. It seeks to expose how humanitarian aid and peacekeeping works, what obstacles they encounter and how they manage to retain their legitimacy. By examining the relationship between the West and the DR Congo, this volume asks why intervention continues to be so central for the relationship between Western and local spheres. Why is it normal and self-evident? The main answer developed here is that the separation of these two spheres allows intervention to enjoy sufficient degrees of legitimacy to be sustained. Owing to the contradictions that surface when juxtaposing the Western and Congolese spheres, this book highlights how keeping them separate is key to sustaining intervention. Bridging the divide between the liberal peace debate in International Relations and anthropologies of humanitarianism, this volume thus presents an important contribution to taking both the legitimizing proclamations and ‘local’ realities of intervention seriously. The book will be of much interest to students of statebuilding, peacebuilding, peacekeeping, anthropology, research methods and IR in general.
Book Synopsis Paens by : Crystal Lili Ashley Crystal Lili Bueche
Download or read book Paens written by Crystal Lili Ashley Crystal Lili Bueche and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing has come naturally to Ashley Crystal Lili Bueche since about sixth grade, Mrs. Dauber's English class to be precise. Her first poem described her thoughts and observations of a Salvador Dali painting. In her memories, it is as if it was yesterday, a farm-like landscape with decaying animals and such. From that day forward, words seemed to pour out from deep within her soul, creating migraines if she doesn't write each and every letter quickly enough. These words she has written as her own journal, a diary if you will, of her thoughts, feelings, words, and experiences. Those who truly know her will recognize some of the stories that provide the background for each poem. She must always keep a pen and paper close and available at all times, for her deep thoughts strike at any moment! A few strokes of a pen let out all of the emotion and stress that is pent up within her, waiting to be released. Once she has committed her thoughts and words to paper, she is able to insure her peace of mind and soul. To write for her is to breathe fresh morning dew air, a pleasure and a must for survival.
