A genealogy of mediation in international relations: From ‘analogue’ to ‘digital’ forms of global justice or managed war?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-22)What does it mean to mediate in the contemporary world? During the Cold War, and since, various forms of international intervention have maintained a fragile strategic and territorially sovereign balance between states and their elite leaders, as in Cyprus or the Middle East, or built new states and inculcated new norms. In the post-Cold War era intervention and mediation shifted beyond the balance ... -
Human rights and the development of a twenty-first century peace architecture: unintended consequences?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-16)The ‘long peace’ of the last twenty-five years has linked various forms of intervention—from development to peacebuilding and humanitarian intervention—with human rights. This ‘interventionary system/order’ model has premised its legitimate authority on expanded versions of human rights, connected to liberal frameworks of democracy, rule of law, and capitalism in order to connect peace more closely ... -
Rescuing Peacebuilding? Anthropology and Peace Formation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-25)International Relations (IR) and related social science disciplines focusing on peace and conflict studies have enabled a bureaucratic understanding of peacebuilding and a liberal form of peace. This has extended into a neoliberal type of statebuilding. There is now an impressive international architecture for peace, but its engagement with its subjects in everyday contexts has been less impressive. ... -
The green and the cool: Hybridity, relationality and ethnographic-biographical responses to intervention
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-11)Policy debates on conflict research, which are mostly directly used to develop practices of soft intervention (including conflict resolution, peacebuilding and statebuilding), emanate from common epistemic and ontological frameworks. Most have been produced and perpetuated by key institutions in the global North through their encounter with historical direct and structural violence, both North and ... -
Peace and the Formation of Political Order
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-21)Contrary to most debates about state formation, this article outlines an alternative perspective on the shaping of political community – and the international peace architecture – based on the agency of actors engaged in peaceful forms of politics after war. Drawing on long-standing critical debates, it investigates the positive potential of ‘peace formation’, outlining the theoretical development ... -
Back to the Future? Revisiting Military Confidence-Building in Europe
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)The last few years have seen a paradigm shift in European security. NATO and Russia are once again stepping up their military activities and building their military arsenals, as deep mistrust and the fear of unintended military escalation seem to have returned. Over the last few decades, such concerns could be mitigated by an interlocking web of arms control and confidence- and security-building ... -

Какие именно подходы к управлению ресурсами и территорией существуют у коренных народов? В чем эти подходы отличаются друг от друга? В статье дается анализ отношений двух народов к управлению природными ресурсами на своей земле в условиях ... -
Finding Gender in the Arctic: A Call to Intersectionality and Diverse Methods
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2017-06-16)The following chapter examines multiple aspects of including gender perspectives in Arctic research. In the chapter I discuss the definition and understanding of the concept of gender, and then move to the concept of “intersectionality” which recognizes the important linkages between multiple identities of gender, race, ethnicity, class, age, and other social categories. I ... -

This report takes a critical look at the inclusion and exclusion of Res. 1325 in peace operations in Africa. It focuses on the meaning and importance of ... -

Regional Change. How will the rise of China and India shape Afghanistan’s stabilization process?
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2010)The brief examines how regional developments in Central/South Asia may affect the stabilization process in Afghanistan. Given that regional security dynamics played an important role in aggravating the conflict in Afghanistan in the 1990s, the report juxtaposes the situation in the 1990s with the present state of affairs. The brief argues that the regional dynamics in 2010 are very different ... -
Towards a theory of ex-combatant reintegration
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)This paper encourages the development of a theoretical framework for the study of the reintegration of ex-combatants after war. It takes the first steps towards this by proposing a new definition of reintegration, where the processes ex-combatants experience, rather than the programmatic support offered by international and national agencies, take centre stage. The article links the study of ... -
