Beschreibung
This volume helps to better understand how the interaction between local and international peacebuilding actors influences the outcomes of their programs. Based on the case study of Ituri in the Democratic Republic of Congo, this text analyses the inter-subjective relationship between local and international peacebuilding actors over the long term and assesses ways to overcome the obstacles to more cooperative partnerships between them. Focusing on perceptions, the book nuances the definitions of war, peacebuilding and peace and allows for a more comprehensive understanding of conflict contexts. Here, Hellmüller contributes to the literature on peacebuilding effectiveness and makes concrete suggestions for translating these findings into practice.
• Explains how the interaction between local and international peacebuilding actors contributes to success and failure of peacebuilding
• Offers an in-depth analysis of how local and international peacebuilding actors in Ituri (DRC) interacted over time and assesses ways to overcome the obstacles to more cooperative partnerships between them
• Provides new insights on the multi-layered conflict issues in the war in Ituri and the DRC

“Sara Hellmüller’s new book, The Interaction between Local and International Peacebuilding Actors, offers rarely available empirical evidence to examine the local-international interaction in peacebuilding. … I believe this study is most suitable to researchers and postgraduate students in peace and conflict studies who aim to study local peacebuilding in conflict-affected societies. It will also be a useful information source for the people who want to be updated with the social dynamics in contemporary DRC.” (SungYong Lee, H-Net Reviews Humanities and Social Sciences, networks.h-net.org, August, 2018)
