Correlates of Peace
While the study of interreligious conflict is a growing field of research, interreligious peace lacks conceptualisation and empirical investigation. We propose a concept of interreligious peace that distinguishes between positive and negative elements as well as attitudinal and behavioural aspects. The resulting four-dimensional concept is operationalised with a dataset covering 170 countries between 1990 and 2014, showing considerable global var…
More Security, More Trust? Security Perceptions as a Source of Government Trust in Post-Conflict Settings
How can governments gain the trust of their citizens after civil war? Although previous work has thoroughly considered the drivers of governmental trust, we know relatively little about the role of security perceptions in post-conflict settings. Drawing on data from an original survey fielded with 2000 respondents from Liberia, we show that citizens' security perceptions shape their trust in government. We also demonstrate that explicit attributi…
Theorizing resilience-building in the EU’s neighbourhood
The EU is surrounded by areas of limited statehood (ALS) and contested orders (CO) in its southern and eastern neighbourhood. Resilience has become a focus of attention in the academic debate on how to successfully deal with ALS and CO. Moreover, resilience-building is a new cornerstone in the EU’s foreign and security policy. However, to what extent is resilience a mechanism to cope with ALS and CO? What are the sources of resilience? To what ex…
Preventing governance breakdown in the EU’s southern neighbourhood
To what extent does societal resilience help to prevent governance breakdown? The EU's southern neighbourhood has been troubled by multiple security risks in recent years. The security situation of many citizens is uncertain and local populations frequently feel insecure, an indication of governance breakdown. Resilience has become a new focus in preventing a breakdown of governance. Yet, the extent to which resilience can help prevent governance…
Securing Legitimacy? Perceptions of Security and Isaf’s Legitimacy in Northeast Afghanistan
Using ISAF’s security involvement in Afghanistan as an example, this article asks: Does the perceived provision of goods and services affect the empirical legitimacy attributed to external governance actors in areas of limited statehood? The study applies multilevel analysis to survey data for 2009–2013 from Northeast Afghanistan. The results support arguments of performance-based legitimacy. Perceptions of goods and service provision as effectiv…
Virtuous or Vicious Circle? Governance Effectiveness and Legitimacy in Areas of Limited Statehood
Effective and legitimate governance supposedly form a mutually reinforcing relationship, a virtuous circle of governance. We critically explore this argument in the context of limited statehood and underline why such areas challenge key assumptions underpinning the virtuous circle argument. In this special issue we ask: Does the effectiveness of governance affect the legitimacy of governance actors and institutions in areas of limited statehood, …
Limited Statehood Does Not Equal Civil War
Limited statehood is frequently depicted as a major cause for civil war and violent conflict. Consequently, state-building efforts are often considered to be an effective tool for the prevention of civil war and violent conflict. This essay argues, however, that this assumption is misguided in several respects. First, at present and historically, areas of limited statehood are the global default rather than the exception. Thus, efforts to elimina…
Legitimacy in Areas of Limited Statehood
Empirical legitimacy, defined as social acceptance of the right to rule, constitutes a key condition for effective governance in areas of limited statehood. Most work on legitimacy, however, is state centric and has exclusively focused on the state as the governance actor of interest. We argue that understanding the legitimacy of external and nonstate actors is essential for analyzing governance in areas of limited statehood. Moreover, subnationa…
Taking a New Perspective
Network analysis has attracted significant attention when researching the phenomenon of transnational terrorism, particularly Al Qaeda. While many scholars have made valuable contributions to mapping Al Qaeda, several problems remain due to a lack of data and the omission of data provided by international organizations such as the UN. Thus, this article applies a social network analysis and subsequent mappings of the data gleaned from the Securit…
