(Re)Setting the boundaries of peacebuilding in a changing global order
The liberal peace(building) paradigm faces compound challenges, from the erosion of the liberal international order and growing great power involvement in civil wars to the emergence of alternative actors in global peace processes. These macro-trends present an epistemic dilemma in (re)defining the contours of peacebuilding. The conventional (liberal) conceptualization of peacebuilding is too restrictive, neglecting alternative practices that are…
Pathways to socialisation
This article problematises the status quo bias in IR socialisation research, and develops an alternative concept of competitive socialisation, through which subaltern actors internalise dominant norms, enhance their competitive edge, and enact more equalised power relations in global politics. The dominant strand of IR socialisation research mostly conceives of socialisation as a status-quo-oriented practice that reinforces the existing power hie…
Power/resistance
Peacebuilding policies and practices represent strong attempts by external actors to exercise power in postconflict settings. Yet the extensive theoretical treatments of power in International Relations remain somewhat disconnected from empirical analyses of peacebuilding, and how external actors exercise power is under-conceptualised in the literature. Likewise, the literature on forms of resistance by local actors is seldom examined as an exerc…
Norm Contestation and Normative Transformation in Global Peacebuilding Order(s)
Focusing on the disconnect between mainstream “liberal” peacebuilding and the discourses and practices of “new” and “alternative” peacebuilding actors, this article develops a nonbinary approach that goes beyond norm localization to capture the ways in which major powers influence the nature, content, and direction of normative change. Within the context of their bilateral and multilateral contributions to the “global peacebuilding order,” what f…

Emancipation and Critique in Peace and Conflict Research
This contribution examines how the critical potential of research on peace in International Relations has been simultaneously marginalized and transformed. It briefly traces the evolution of peace research, as well as choices, contestation, and breaks in the construction (and “disciplining”) of peace and conflict research. It then focuses on two epistemological and normative choices that occlude the emancipatory potential of peace research and ma…
Bodies count
In discussions of conflict, war and political violence, dead bodies count. Although the politics and practices associated with the collection of violent-death data are seldom subject to critical examination, they are crucial to how scholars and practitioners think about how and why conflict and violence erupt. Knowledge about conflict deaths - the who, what, where, when, why and how - is a form of expertise, created, disseminated and used by diff…
From Armed Conflict to Political Violence
Most contemporary lethal violence does not occur in conflict zones, the majority of states most affected by lethal violence are not at war, and the levels of lethal violence in many nonconflict settings are higher than in war zones. Much of this nonwar violence is organized, not random, and political in nature. A narrow focus on wars and formal armed conflicts thus obscures the high levels of everyday violence and insecurity around the world. Thi…
Hybrid Violence
This article unpacks the notion of hybrid violence and sketches the different forms of hybrid violence—categorical, institutional, motivational, and temporal—that can be found in many postconflict contexts. It highlights how attempts to establish a monopoly over the legitimate use of force are often at odds with the various roles that violence plays in contemporary states, especially (but not exclusively) in postconflict contexts. The article arg…
Leashing the Dogs of War
The progressive development of measures to control weapons of mass destruction in the 1980s and 1990s moved arms control beyond a sovereign conception, towards a larger logic of governmentality that reaches deep into the domestic affairs of states and involved forms of regulation and control that went far beyond inter-state agreements to regulate their military competition. The article first focuses on the larger historical process of controlling…
The illicit firearms trade in North America
Gun violence in North American is the subject of much speculation and debate, often based on limited or incomplete empirical evidence. We summarize the regulatory frameworks in Mexico, the United States and Canada, and provide statistics on gun misuse in these countries. Based on our analysis of publicly available information on sources of crime guns, we conclude that while the United States is a major supplier of illegal handguns to Canada and i…
Beyond definition
While conceptualising violence – in either minimalist or comprehensive understandings – has posed significant problems for scholars, the problem of measuring or quantifying it has been equally challenging for both researchers and policy makers. This article examines the best available current evidence on the ‘global burden of armed violence’ and highlights what we know and do not know about the scope, scale, and distribution of different forms of…
Closing the Gap Between Peace Operations and Post-Conflict Insecurity
This article highlights how the instruments for addressing the presumed source(s) of armed violence need to be sharpened and extended to address the heterogeneous character of armed violence present in many post-conflict situations. These extensions require the development of practical armed violence prevention and reduction programmes that draw upon scholarship and practice from the criminal justice and public health sectors. The article argues …
Introduction
The study of non-state armed groups (NSAGs) has traditionally been limited to those actors with a political agenda that pose a specific threat to the state and undermine its ability to claim a monopoly over the legitimate use of force within its territory. In contrast, this introduction – and the articles that follow – expands upon this narrow conceptualization and redefines NSAGs to encompass such actors as militias, warlords, private security p…
Building the agenda of human security
The Human Security Network (HSN) represented an innovative attempt at flexible multilateralism, working with a small group of like-minded states. This article traces its origins and evolution, in particular, in the campaign to ban anti-personnel land mines) and examines the process of developing and implementing policy-in and beyond the HSN. The HSN struggled to develop a coherent and focused human security agenda and distinguished itself somewha…
Peace, Security and Development in Post-Conflict Environments
This article presents a critical overview of the contemporary practice of post-conflict peacebuilding (PCPB), arguing that contemporary post-conflict operations rest upon the assumption that a sophisticated social engineering approach could replace, or accelerate, a process of state formation that occurs rather more organically. Yet, PCPB is subject to the same tensions and dilemmas as the process of state formation. Many recent post-conflict rec…

State-making and region-building
In his contribution to this collection, Keith Krause discusses the link between state-formation processes and regional security-building. In doing so, he draws attention to a specific, domestic, aspect of the process of regional community-building: the role of ideas about, institutions of, and instruments of organized violence in social, political and economic life. According to Krause, focusing on the role of institutions of organized violence i…

This text takes issue with arguments that studies is a discipline of limited use in making sense of the post-Cold War world. It argues that many of the most interesting theoretical issues in international relations can most usefully be studied through a prism labelled studies. The book combines chapters which provide a variety of critical perspectives on the discipline and address a diverse range of theoretical concerns, with chapters that examin…

Military Statecraft
Advances in our understanding of the concept of power in international relations have been distant from the concerns of practically-minded researchers, especially those working on issues of traditional realist high politics. The study of how arms transfer relationships are used as a tool of statecraft is an example. Examining American and Soviet relations with arms transfer clients, one can distinguish three different dimensions of influence soug…

Insecurity and State Formation in the Global Military Order
This article argues that within the European state system, the struggle to control the institutions and instruments of organized violence produced an externally-oriented conception of security that rested upon the unconditional legitimacy of the state, a societal consensus over basic values and the near-elimination of violence from political life, which permitted a strong identification of the security of the state with the security of its citize…

Constructing Regional Security Régimes and the Control of Arms Transfers
Our understanding of the creation and maintenance of regional security regimes is bedevilled by conceptual and practical problems that make the analysis of specific cases problematic. Critics object that the perceived zero-sum nature of the security 'game' (and the high benefits of 'defection') limits the utility of any concept that rests ultimately on high levels of co-operative behaviour. In addition, overlapping levels of conflict in the vario…

Arms and the State
This book analyses the structure and motive forces that shape the global arms transfer and production system. The author distinguishes three tiers of arms producers, defined by such factors as defence production base, military research and development capabilities, and dependence upon arms exports. These factors interact with underlying political, economic, and military motivations to drive states to produce and export arms, and provide the force…
Middle Eastern Arms Recipients in the Post-Cold War World
Arms transfers to the Middle East have been high on the international agenda since the Gulf war and the end of the Cold War. But the precise nature of recent developments, and the underlying motivations and forces that have produced the current pattern of weapons proliferation in the region, are poorly understood. A close examination of the data suggests that arms transfers to the Middle East have actually declined in the 1990s, following similar…

Broadening the Agenda of Security Studies
The field of security studies has been the subject of considerable debate in recent years. Attempts to broaden and deepen the scope of the field beyond its traditional focus on states and military conflict have raised fundamental theoretical and practical issues. Yet, adherents to the prevailing neorealist approach to security studies have often reacted to these challenges in ways that preclude a recognition of the issues raised by alternative un…
