Title: | Peacebuilding in Timor-Leste: Finding a Way between External Intervention and Local Dynamics | Authors: | Freire, Maria Raquel Lopes, Paula Duarte |
Issue Date: | 2013 | Publisher: | Routledge | Project: | info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/FCT/5876-PPCDTI/115169/PT | Serial title, monograph or event: | International Peacekeeping | Volume: | 20 | Issue: | 2 | Abstract: | This article highlights the importance of interaction between peace missions and local dynamics, drawing on Tsing's work on frictions. It is centred on the United Nations (UN) peace intervention in Timor-Leste, discussing different examples of frictions, which have the potential to undermine or empower the peacebuilding efforts underway. The analysis stresses the unpredictable effects of applying the UN liberal peace model. It is argued that processes of friction, often consisting of an incremental build-up of intermediate results shape and form the (un)sustainability of any peacebuilding process initiated by an external intervention and, consequently, should be identified and analysed in order to enhance or minimize their positive/negative contribution towards building peace. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/46478 | ISSN: | 1353-3312 1743-906X |
