Abstract
ABSTRACT
Movement through spaces defined by segregation and mixing is a distinguishing feature of divided urban settings. Contributing to themes of the everyday and spatial understandings in peace research, this paper introduces civil sanctuaries. In divided urban settings these spaces of sanctuary are framed by civility, where people encounter one another across division while seemingly compartmentalising outward signs of disrespect. Through a case study of the Belfast Giants and SSE Arena, this article highlights clearly marked territory which differentiates itself from divisive norms and rhetoric, filtering who is welcome, and the notion of giving pause to routinised practices in divided settings.
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.
