Human rights and the borders of the human
Notions of human rights and the technologies deploying those notions, legally, institutionally, in advocacy and social discourse, enact a tangled knot of contesting and asserting borders. Universalist assertions of human rights seek to transcend national borders, appealing to a wider grasp of the human, but the formal pursuit of rights establishes rights as mutually constitutive with the state. In advocacy, calling on human rights is a way of rec…
The spatial turn, reification and relational epistemologies in ‘knowing about’ security and peace
How we approach knowing conflict and security makes a difference. This article first considers how reification, instrumental subject/object relations and the drive for certainty and control undermine effective knowledge and practice in questions of conflict and peace. It then turns to what the spatial turn and notions of emplaced security might offer to working against violence. As with any theoretical perspective, the spatial turn can itself be …
The Body in the Emergence of Trust
This discussion considers the significance of physical contact—in the sense of bodily and spatial presence or interaction—in the emergence of trust in the context of a legacy of violence. As an element of reconciliation (and like reconciliation), trust is understood as a continuum, rather than a completed state. Without proposing that physical contact is always essential for trust, or that relational trust removes the need for political settlemen…
Exploring Peace Formation: Security and Justice in Post-colonial States
This chapter addresses indigenous ways of dispute resolution in the South Pacific island state of Vanuatu. It is argued that such kastom dispute resolution is not only of relevance for the everyday life of people in rural areas and for local conflicts, but is also utilised in urban environments and in the context of the state and national politics. A number of cases from Vanuatu’s recent history are presented, in which the intervention of ‘tradit…
Hybridity and dialogue - approaches to the hybrid turn
One of the hybrid turn’s key contributions to debate in the fields of peacebuilding, state formation and international development is its approach to difference in post-colonial states. Observing difference and enmeshment is not new; it is in response to the standardising drive of statebuilding that it has critical significance. Rather than seeking to assimilate or eliminate difference, the hybrid turn enables approaching it as the field from whi…

Formação do Estado e da comunidade política em Timor-Leste - A centralidade do local
This article addresses the intertwining of traditional and liberal institutional practices and values in Timor-Leste. It argues that dominant approaches to thinking about political community and the state ignore the importance of community sources of political values, excluding them from serious exchange and failing to provide a way to think seriously about negotiating political life across radical difference. However, an "ecology of relationship…
Hybrid Political Orders, Not Fragile States
The concept of state fragility that has gained prominence within the development and security agenda focuses very much on deficiencies and shortcomings of governance in so-called fragile states. In contrast, the concept of hybrid political order takes a more positive outlook by focusing on the strength and resilience of sociopolitical formations that are present on the ground, that work, and that provide public goods for people and communities
Peacebuilding and Political Hybridity in East Timor
Peacebuilding works toward the restoration or reconstitution of political community, in the most fundamental and inclusive sense, in the face of a legacy or the ongoing reality of violent conflict
Security, development and the nation-building agenda-East Timor: Analysis
State-building has been seen as the path to both security and development in East Timor. State-building, however, has been approached as an exercise in the transfer of key liberal institutions, with relatively little attention paid by either relevant international agencies or the East Timorese government to situating these institutions within a social context. In particular, there has been little effort on the part of central institutions to enga…

Human rights and the borders of suffering: The Promotion of Human Rights in International Politics
Starting with the realities of abuse rather than the liberal architecture of rights, this text casts human rights as a language for probing the political dimensions of suffering.Three case studies are explored - Tiananmen Square, East Timor and the circumstances of indigenous Australians
I. Swords and Sequence in the British Bronze Age
British and continental archaeologists alike have long been beholden to J. D. Cowen for his interpretation of the bronze sword in Europe. His identification in 1951 of Hemigkofen and Erbenheim types among South German Griffzungenschwerter , his recognition that these forms were basic to all subsequent sword development in the British Isles, and his dating of them to the Hallstatt A (Ha A) Urnfield phase have remained crucial in any interpretation…
A Sample Analysis of British Middle and Late Bronze Age Material, using Optical Spectrometry
Metallurgical analysis of prehistoric material has hitherto been concentrated on examination of early artifacts, presumably made from newly-won metal, which may therefore contain trace elements to indicate the sources and trade-routes of contemporary metal supply. The present study was undertaken to discover whether bronze artifacts from the British Middle and Late Bronze Age, when an important component of the bronzes produced must have been re-…
