Abstract

In this article, we develop a model of intergenerational peace leadership (IPL) with a particular focus upon young women’s peace leadership. IPL remains under-theorised and under-recognised in both global policy and academic scholarship. We therefore outline and advocate for a young women-focussed IPL model as an opportunity for robust and sustainable peace leadership that aligns with broader UN-driven inclusive peace agendas. We begin the article with efforts to theorise IPL and situate it at the centre of inclusive and sustainable peace agendas. Second, we look at the challenges facing IPL, drawing from three case studies (Papua New Guinea/Bougainville, Nepal and Myanmar) of women’s peace leadership in Asia and the Pacific. While we do identify commitments to IPL in the region, we find significant barriers that undermine its transformative potential. These emerge from contested power dynamics and hierarchies between older and younger generations, which result in young women being marginalised, ignored and silenced within ostensibly intergenerational peace forums. We therefore argue that while IPL is an important link necessary for advancing inclusive peace agendas, we must identify and engage with the hierarchies that hinder its transformative potential.
代际和平领导的前景:亚太地区的思考
在本文中,我们建立了一个代际和平领导力(IPL)模型,并特别关注年轻女性的和平领导力。在全球政策和学术研究中,代际和平领导力仍未得到充分的理论化和认可。因此,我们概述并倡导以年轻女性为重点的 IPL 模式,以此为契机,培养与联合国推动的更广泛的包容性和平议程相一致的、强有力的、可持续的和平领导力。文章开头,我们努力将 IPL 理论化,并将其置于包容性和可持续和平议程的中心。其次,我们通过对亚太地区妇女和平领导力的三个案例研究(巴布亚新几内亚/布干维尔、尼泊尔和缅甸),探讨了妇女和平领导力面临的挑战。虽然我们确实发现了该地区对 IPL 的承诺,但我们也发现了削弱其变革潜力的重大障碍。这些障碍来自于老一代和年轻一代之间有争议的权力动态和等级制度,这导致年轻女性在表面上跨代的和平论坛中被边缘化、忽视和沉默。因此,我们认为,虽然 IPL 是推进包容性和平议程所必需的一个重要环节,但我们必须识别并处理阻碍其变革潜力的等级制度。

期刊介绍: Published for over 40 years, the aim of Cooperation and Conflict is to promote research on and understanding of international relations. It believes in the deeds of academic pluralism and thus does not represent any specific methodology, approach, tradition or school. The mission of the journal is to meet the demands of the scholarly community having an interest in international studies (for details, see the statement "From the Editors" in Vol. 40, No. 3, September 2005). The editors especially encourage submissions contributing new knowledge of the field and welcome innovative, theory-aware and critical approaches. First preference will continue to be given to articles that have a Nordic and European focus. Cooperation and Conflict strictly adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy.
