Abstract

ABSTRACT The past two decades have witnessed myriad ‘turns’ in peacebuilding scholarship. This article explores these ‘turns’ and questions their influence on peacebuilding practice – whether intended or not. It examines the features of academia under late capitalism that contribute to this, asks if these shifts are comprehensible to the agents of peacebuilding and whether implementers are willing and/or able to listen anyway. It posits that scholars and practitioners find themselves in a ‘dialogue of the deaf’ arguing that unless this is transformed then conflict-affected societies will see little benefit from the clever pirouettes occurring in the comfort of the ivory tower.

多少次旋转才能产生革命?和平建设学者与实践者的“聋人对话”到哪里去

过去二十年见证了建设和平学术领域无数的“转折”。本文探讨了这些“转折”，并质疑它们对建设和平实践的影响——无论有意还是无意。它考察了晚期资本主义下学术界的特征，这些特征促成了这一点，并询问这些转变是否可以被和平建设的代理人所理解，以及执行者是否愿意和/或能够倾听。它假设学者和实践者发现自己处于“聋子对话”中，认为除非这种情况得到改变，否则受冲突影响的社会将不会从舒适的象牙塔中发生的聪明的旋转中获益。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding is a cross-disciplinary journal devoted to critical analysis of international intervention, focussing on interactions and practices that shape, influence and transform states and societies. In 21st century political practice, states and other actors increasingly strive to transplant what they see as normatively progressive political orders to other contexts. Accordingly, JISB focuses on the complex interconnections and mutually shaping interactions between donor and recipient communities within military, economic, social, or other interventional contexts, and welcomes perspectives on political life of, and beyond, European state-building processes. The journal brings together academics and practitioners from cross-disciplinary backgrounds, including international relations, political science, political economy, sociology, international law, social anthropology, geography, and regional studies. The editors are particularly interested in specific or comparative in-depth analyses of contemporary or historical interventions and state-building processes that are grounded in careful fieldwork and/or innovative methodologies. Multi or cross-disciplinary contributions and theoretically challenging pieces that broaden the study of intervention and state building to encompass processes of decision-making, or the complex interplay between actors on the ground, are especially encouraged.
