Abstract

ABSTRACT Much peace and conflict scholarship groups individual international interveners together as ‘the international’, treating them more as an ideational structure – the international peace architecture – than as individual agents. This article brings foreign policy analysis scholarship into conversation with constructivist scholarship to propose analytical questions that can be used to study the role that individual international interveners play in socially constructing the international peace architecture. It proposes questions at both the micro scale of individual international interveners and the meso scale of the international peace architecture, that is, the organisations that make peacebuilding policy and practice peacebuilding work. Analysis guided by these questions could inform future considerations of what peacebuilding means, who is a suitable candidate for performing peacebuilding work, the way that peacebuilding is practiced, and ultimately on the security of the conflict-affected populations in which peacebuilding interventions are conducted.

这是小事：国际干预者在国际和平架构的社会（重建）建设中的作用

摘要许多和平与冲突学术将各个国际干预者归为“国际”，将他们更多地视为一种概念结构——国际和平架构——而不是个人代理人。本文将外交政策分析学术与建构主义学术相结合，提出了一些分析问题，可以用来研究国际干预者在社会构建国际和平架构中所扮演的角色。它提出了国际干预者个人微观层面和国际和平架构微观层面的问题，即制定建设和平政策和实践建设和平工作的组织。以这些问题为指导的分析可以为未来的考虑提供信息，包括建设和平意味着什么，谁是开展建设和平工作的合适人选，建设和平的实施方式，以及最终进行建设和平干预的受冲突影响人口的安全。

期刊介绍： Global Society covers the new agenda in global and international relations and encourages innovative approaches to the study of global and international issues from a range of disciplines. It promotes the analysis of transactions at multiple levels, and in particular, the way in which these transactions blur the distinction between the sub-national, national, transnational, international and global levels. An ever integrating global society raises a number of issues for global and international relations which do not fit comfortably within established "Paradigms" Among these are the international and global consequences of nationalism and struggles for identity, migration, racism, religious fundamentalism, terrorism and criminal activities.
