Peacebuilding and Friction: Global and Local Encounters in Post Conflict-Societies Bjrkdahl Annika
This book aims to understand the processes and outcomes that arise from frictional encounters in peacebuilding, when global and local forces meet.Building a sustainable peace after violent conflict is a process that entails competing ideas, political contestation and transformation of power relations. The chapters examine efforts undertaken to promote sustainable peace in a variety of locations, such as Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and Sierra Leone. This volume develops the concept of 'friction' to better analyse the interplay between global ideas, actors, and practices, and their local counterparts.
These case analyses provide a nuanced understanding not simply of local processes, or of the hybrid or mixed agencies, ideas, and processes that are generated, but of the complex interactions that unfold between all of these elements in the context of peacebuilding
