On Peacebuilding and Inclusion
International Peacebuilding and the Emerging inclusivity Norm
Co-authored with Tim Donais In Third World Quarterly,
July 2016
This paper draws on constructivist theory to assess the contemporary debate around inclusion within peacebuilding and statebuilding processes, and on inclusivity as an emerging norm within international policy processes. It reflects on the issues through the case of the New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States, and makes the case that the inclusivity agenda marks a significant shift towards fulling a longstanding commitment to respecting national ownership of peace-building processes.
