Violent Peacemaking
Vicarious Impunity
Datafied localization
The integration of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and algorithms into development aid and relief efforts has brought datafication processes to the forefront of contemporary humanitarianism. This article contributes to critical studies of (big) data in humanitarianism by introducing insights from the humanitarian literature on distance and proximity. It highlights three ways in which the mobilization of big data to convey "local" perce…
Humanitarian ignorance
This paper introduces the notion of 'humanitarian ignorance' to address growing concern regarding non-knowledge, as datafication becomes a central instrument and ambition of the humanitarian sector. With the turn to digital humanitarianism, contemporary humanitarian action increasingly relies on technology-driven quantification to expand the ability to collect, analyse, and present information. Utilising datafication processes, humanitarian organ…
Exploring the Agency of the Affiliates of Transnational Jihadist Organizations
The ability of trans-national jihadist organizations to exploit war, state collapse and geopolitical upheaval in the Middle East to expand and consolidate their global networks, is of major concern. This has led to a growing literature that investigates the factors that may or may not lead to the expansion of organizations such as al-Qaeda and Islamic State, but this literature has focused less on the continued agency of the affiliate once integr…
When peace kills politics
Despite decades of peacemaking and peacekeeping in Sudan and South Sudan, civilian-led democratic governance remains elusive. In this compelling account, Sharath Srinivasan argues that international peacemaking has counterproductively reinforced logics of violence and political authoritarianism in the Sudans. He does so through a detailed investigation of selected interrelationships between different conflicts and cycles of peacemaking initiative…
Interventions since the Cold War
Through the lens of security sector reform, this article explores shifts in international interventions since the Cold War. Identifying three phases, it traces the global North's failure to transform fragile states into liberal democratic polities and changes to intervention practices in response to that failure. Immediately after the Cold War, an unfettered belief in the liberal peace thesis, and its global applicability, drove interventions tha…
Decentralization as a strategy of regime maintenance
Proponents of decentralization often argue that decentralization makes governments more accountable and responsive to the governed. This is perhaps why the decentralization literature tends to overlook Middle Eastern regimes as these are among the most authoritarian and most centralized regimes in the world. However, many of these regimes have included decentralization in their legal framework. This article shows how a weak regime can use decentr…
Unity, Segregation, and Obedience
Too little attention has been given to Islamic States efforts to present itself as a more legitimate alternative to the nation-state. This is particularly surprising as IS’ claim to statehood has been a prominent element in IS’ self-branding. This article argues that IS understands itself as a form of political order superior to the state because it is a revival of the caliphate. This argument is made through an investigation of three key dimensi…
Tribes and politics in Yemen
Marieke Brandt’s Tribes and Politics in Yemen: A History of the Houthi Conflict is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the rise of the Houthi movement and the local roots of the curr
Narratives on Yemen Amidst Crisis
The two authors, Laurent Bonnefoy and Ginny Hill, are both longtime observers of Yemeni politics and draw on years of living in and studying Yemen to produce two highly timely accounts of the events that have led to the current conflict in Yemen. Laurent Bonnefoy has produced a thoroughly researched and compelling analysis that makes a solid contribution to Yemen studies by providing an insightful look at Yemeni international interactions over th…
Sectarianisation of a multidimensional conflict
This is a reply to Vincent Durac’s article ‘The limits of the sectarian narrative in Yemen’, which starts with a discussion of the proposition that conflict in the Middle East is driven by sectarian difference including the conflict in Yemen. However, Durac’s article shows that the conflict in Yemen is not inherently sectarian. This reply uses this as a starting point to argue that the conceptual, theoretical and empirical usefulness of sectarian…
Justifying military intervention
The Saudi-led military intervention into Yemen began on 26 March 2015, and it has largely been supported by the international community despite resulting in the world’s largest current humanitarian disaster. The paper explores the emergence of the failed state concept, particularly as it has impacted the norm of sovereignty. It shows how being defined as a failed state can undermine the norm of sovereignty. This article argues that Saudi Arabia h…
Competing for Control over the State
This article argues that the current conflict in Yemen is better understood as a competition over who controls the state, rather than as a conflict between the state and a non-state actor. It traces the development of the Houthis and shows how the movement managed to seize key government institutions. However, the Houthis lack internal legitimacy and have not been able to position themselves as a nationally relevant political elite. The fragmenta…
