Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper introduces and develops the concept of “reflexive peacebuilding”. Peacebuilding has been conceptualised using different theoretical frameworks and operationalised across various levels of governance. This paper re-conceptualises peacebuilding in the context of the growing discourse on the Anthropocene. Drawing on the work of John S. Dryzek and Jonathan Pickering (2019. The Politics of the Anthropocene. Oxford: Oxford University Press) on reflexivity in the Anthropocene, this paper locates the “pathological path dependency” of international peacebuilding and the need for reflexive peacebuilding institutions across the agency, time, and space of peace formation. It specifically examines the United Nations peacebuilding architecture to identify the path dependency and potential for reflexivity of its institutions and practices. The discussion in this paper aims to contribute to recommendations for restructuring the international peacebuilding architecture and re-affirming its relevance to the evolving peace requirements of post-conflict societies, especially in the context of the Anthropocene.

反思性建设和平：人类世话语的启示

本文介绍并发展了“反射性建设和平”的概念。建设和平是使用不同的理论框架概念化的，并在各级治理中实施。本文在关于人类世的讨论日益增多的背景下，重新定义了建设和平的概念。借鉴John S.Dryzek和Jonathan Pickering的作品（2019。人类世的政治。牛津：牛津大学出版社）关于人类世中的自反性，本文定位了国际建设和平的“病理路径依赖”，以及在和平形成的机构、时间和空间中对自反性建设和平机构的需求。它具体审查了联合国建设和平架构，以确定其机构和做法的路径依赖性和自反性潜力。本文件中的讨论旨在为重组国际建设和平架构提出建议，并重新确认其与冲突后社会不断变化的和平要求的相关性，特别是在人类世背景下。

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.
