Security Assistance and the Crisis of the Liberal International Order
The crisis of the Liberal International Order (LIO) has intensified amid growing great-power competition, the war in Ukraine, and the erosion of multilateral institutions. This Forum examines security assistance (SA)—the training, equipping and support of external security actors—as a critical lens for understanding how this crisis is unfolding and how international order is increasingly contested in practice. The Forum consists of an introductor…
Imbuing climate security with positive peace
Climate change impacts peacebuilding and is an important topic within the UN Security Council (UNSC). Yet, the UN's member states take conflicting positions on whether climate change should be framed as a security threat or a development issue, and several scholars have warned against its securitization. Introducing a ‘peace continuum’ approach to climate security, this policy paper shifts attention from a ‘for or against’ debate on framing clima…
Assembling intelligence in United Nations peacekeeping
This article traces the evolution of intelligence in United Nations peacekeeping through a practice-based assemblage lens. We address a gap in the literature by transcending the focus on 'peacekeeping intelligence' as merely an evolving policy instrument. Instead, we employ an 'analytic of assemblage' that reveals the intrinsic ambiguity of both the concept of peacekeeping intelligence, and the related competing perspectives as well as forms of e…
Knowledge production at the environment-security nexus
The question of how changes of the natural environment interact with security receives increasing attention within the context of 21st century global challenges. While abundant knowledge exists, there is no consensus on the nature of the environment-security nexus, and instead, we observe a knowledge battle over predicting the “real” security implications of environmental change. What has received limited attention, however, is the question of ho…
From liberal interventionism to stabilisation
This article traces recent changes of the practices and justifications of the use of force in intervention, in the context of African security governance, highlighting how these changes interact with norm transformations at the scale of the global order. In doing so, it conveys how a long-standing pattern of norm contestation between international and African actors over external intervention vs sovereignty, has started to give way to a mutually …
Hybridity and Friction in Organizational Politics
Security governance in Africa constitutes a web of interactions between national, regional, and international organizations. This emerging ‘African security regime complex' receives growing attention in International Relations debates on international organizations (IOs). Most analysis, however, follows institutionalist and problem-solving approaches, centred on regulatory concerns. We offer a different perspective. Moving beyond dominant perspec…
The Dark Side of Institutional Collaboration
Within the field of international peace and security, policy makers and analysts alike commonly treat collaboration and convergence among international organizations and intervention frameworks as a policy objective in itself. Indeed, from the focus on the ‘comprehensive approach’, during the 2000s, to the recent emphasis on multi-dimensional and integrated stabilization frameworks, institutional collaboration is cast as inherently positive and d…
Counterinsurgency, knowledge production and the traveling of coercive Realpolitik between Colombia and Somalia
Counterinsurgency witnessed a powerful revival in our post-9/11 world. With its focus on the control of territory, populations and seemingly less kinetic hearts and minds campaigns—as well as a good dose of liberal humanitarianism—contemporary counterinsurgency has become the dominant form of the Western military interventionism. While most of the associated debates focus on the potentials and pitfalls of Western counterinsurgency approaches, the…
Counter-insurgency in the Somali territories
This article explores how contemporary counter-insurgency and peacebuilding converge around a pragmatic interventionary discourse that reinvents historical pacification practices centred on bottom-up support for local coercion wielders and securitized institution-building. The analysis combines a historical perspective on the changing position and meaning of peace in relation to counter-insurgency with an exploration of contemporary articulations…
Introduction
The politics of international peacebuilding are undergoing a pragmatic turn. The era of liberal idealism and interventionism is closing, and while the contours of the emerging global order remain uncertain, a more pragmatic approach to the means and ends of peace appears to be on the rise.1 Considerable academic work has gone into analysing the limitations of the ‘old’ liberal peace model, yet so far there has been only limited research on peace …
Counterinsurgent Warfare and the Decentering of Sovereignty in Somalia
Focusing on the southern lower Juba region of Somalia, the chapter analyses the order-making effects of counter-insurgent warfare ‘turning local’, and the ensuing reconfigurations of political power and sovereignty. In this textbook example of ‘state fragility’, counter-insurgency approaches have, the chapter argues, started to adapt by ‘decentering sovereignty’, by enlisting and producing local ‘non-state’ actors and decentered ‘counter-insurgen…
Introduction
This chapter offers a detailed discussion of existing approaches to contemporary counter-insurgency, highlighting emerging discursive and practical shifts in counter-insurgency-related intervention rationales that move contemporary counter-insurgency toward logics of reflexive adaptation, complexity and resilience. In introducing and contextualizing these shifts in empirical and conceptual terms, we demonstrate how the increasing emphasis on the …

Reconfiguring Intervention
Hybridity and simultaneity in the Global South
This chapter explores and furthers the debate on hybridity, analysing the enactment of authority rather than interactions between things and entities. We introduce the notion of simultaneity of discourse and practice to articulate the process through which seemingly contradictory sources of authority are played out to constitute political order. This model, built up around the enactment of authority, suggests a model for reading dialogically conc…
The strange wars of liberal peace
This article examines the contemporary interconnections between the politics of peacebuilding and the politics of counterinsurgent warfare in Somalia. Differing from much of the existing critical literature on Somalia that emphasises problems associated with top-down orthodox stabilisation approaches, this article explores the trajectories of counterinsurgent warfare that places 'the local' at the centre of intervention and work on logics of 'sma…
The simultaneity of authority in hybrid orders
This article adds to current debates on hybridity by shifting attention from interactions between entities to the enactment of authority. The notion of hybridity has helped move debates on peace and state-building beyond a normative focus on failure and fragility. However, it also remains a contested and evolving concept. This article aims to theorise further the process of hybridisation. By introducing the concept of simultaneity of discourse an…
Custom, contestation and co-operation
This article explores alternatives to prevailing state-centric and legalistic approaches to supporting local security and access to justice. It does so through a case study of an initiative developed by an international NGO in partnership with a group of traditional authorities in Somaliland. The initiative aimed at enhancing local security and access to justice, drawing on customary conflict resolution mechanisms and everyday strategies of self-…
Hybrid and ‘Everyday’ Political Ordering
A number of recent post-colonial liberal peace critiques have moved beyond the counter-positioning of ‘liberal/Western’ versus ‘communal/non-Western’ peace and political order. Instead, they draw attention to the interstices – the processes of contestation, repulsion and accommodation – between these approaches. Some argue that the most promising, if contentious, forms of political ordering and peace building take place exactly in a hybrid of sta…
