▼ This thesis contends that the post-conflict Northern Irish novel depicts and establishes increasingly diverse and progressive models of masculinity. Utilising a chronothematic approach I analyse how the portrayal of masculinities in these novels, published over the past twenty years, progresses from the violent hegemonic models of the past towards the inclusive and alternative masculinities more representative of contemporary, post-conflict society. The first chapter analyses two of Sean O'Reilly's novels set pre-and post-Good Friday Agreement. I argue that these novels are early examples of trauma fiction which illustrate the devastating effects of trauma, and the traumatising effect of hegemonic masculinity, on masculine construction. Furthermore, I contend that the lack of alternative expressions of masculinity emasculates the protagonists, who in an attempt to compensate, increasingly emulate the violent hegemonic masculinities from which they feel disenfranchised. In order to interrogate alternatives to the heteronormative discourse on masculinity, in the second chapter I examine representations of "queer" masculinity in novels published over the past two decades. I also consider the relationship between the Irish <i>bildungsroman </i>tradition and its relationship to the coming-out novel. Moreover I establish that while the depiction of sexuality has become more dynamic and fluid, the representations of masculinity in these novels are problematically similar. In the third chapter I utilise a unique approach to transgenerational trauma theory as a hermeneutic to analyse father-son relationships in two of David Park's novels. I posit that the generational conflict between father and son, or the "father wound", is an inherently masculine trauma that may be passed transgenerationally and is exacerbated by the impact of the Troubles. Finally, I examine the depiction of ageing masculinities as important embodiments of masculinity that serve to destabilise a hegemonic script that reinforces the power and relevance of young to middle aged men. By emphasising the plurality of ageing men, I seek to queer the spectrum of masculinity as well the depictions of how older men from the province come to terms with their pasts to renegotiate masculinities in the present.

▼ Civil wars cause considerable harm to the local community, with large adverse spill-overs on the neighbourhood and the broader international community (World Bank 2011). The cessation of
conflict offers the opportunity for economic revival. The window of peace provides the space for the birth and growth of enterprises that would not have emerged otherwise. However, the contribution of private enterprises in socio-economic revival following the cessation of
conflict has received little attention in the extant literature. Also, little is known about the motivations for, and the constraints to, growth of private enterprise. This study uses the case of
post-
conflict Sri Lanka to investigate the entrepreneurs’ motivations for starting a business and the contributions of such enterprises to the socio-economic revival of the
conflict-afflicted community. This is the first such study of the revival of private enterprise in
post-
conflict Sri Lanka. The study uses data collected in 2012 via a purpose-designed survey administered to 243 emerging entrepreneurs. The data was gathered from the two cities of Jaffna and Kilinochchi in northern Sri Lanka and analysed to: (i) examine the differences between ‘employer entrepreneurs’ and ‘solo self-employed entrepreneurs’ to decipher the motivations for starting a business; (ii) explore the differences between ‘necessity-motivated’ and ‘opportunity-motivated’ entrepreneurs, employing a probit model; and (iii) investigate the dynamics of embryonic enterprises, using least absolute deviation (LAD) and ordinary least square (OLS) regressions. The six major findings are: (i) some 80% of entrepreneurs are necessity driven, triggered mainly by unemployment; (ii) the relationship between education and entrepreneurship is an inverse U-shape; (iii) financial constraints constitute a major obstacle to entrepreneurial activity; (iv) inter-ethnic trade with the south improves the likelihood of becoming an employer entrepreneur; (v) faster growth was experienced by businesses in the construction and related manufacturing sector which were also the first to emerge following the restoration of peace; and (vi) social networks are critical for entrepreneurial activity. The results provide a basis for policy discussion concerning the revival of entrepreneurship in, and possibly beyond, Sri Lanka.

▼ Bosnia and Herzegovina suffered a lot from the civil war, and among all the cities, Mostar is the longest and most tragic place. It is also a divided city today in both physical and mental aspects. Along with the reduction of public space and the decline in quality, people lost their places of public life, consequently, causing the mental division between people and the loss of city collective memory.This project would focus on the city of Mostar as a post-conflict area and aims to mitigate the mental division of the city and bring back people and collective memory by redesigning and improving public spaces. The historical and current condition in the city would be analysised to provide a comprehensive understanding of the working site. Memoryscape and placemaking for peace making would then work as the method to lead the intervension of this project, mainly focus on:1)Traditiional and new activities that keep attracting people; 2)Public landscape that involves the history elements reflecting to the city history and collective memory; 3)In a long run, the continual public space network would gather and lead people to step over the mental border line.

▼ Previous research on workforce nationalisation has focused primarily on locations within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states (Randeree, 2012). These locations have social order and a governmental structure in place that supports nationalisation projects. There is a gap in research that considers workforce nationalisation in post-conflict countries. Post-conflict countries such as Iraq, which is the focus location for this research are similar to the GCC states with high levels of expatriates. Iraq is currently stabilising after the second Gulf war in 2003. The country then descended into a violent insurgency that threatened to evolve into full civil war. The sociocultural complexity resulting from this episode remains in the current day reality in Iraq. The lack of employment opportunities for Iraqi nationals continues to fuel discontentment that often erupts in violence. This study considers the additional complexity of workforce nationalisation in post-conflict countries, using the oil industry in post-conflict Iraq to support the research. The study was conducted with the researcher acting as a participant-observer within the oil and gas industry in Southern Iraq. The observations focussed on Iraqi employees within the workplace; discussing their experiences of conflict and workforce nationalisation. The observations and discussions were developed into a narrative analysis to identify opportunities to enhance the process. The research thesis contributes a learning opportunity on the social and cultural complexities existing in a post-conflict Iraq. It takes the experiences and proposes a sustainable model for organisations to utilise when considering entering a post-conflict location. The model provides a structured approach to pre-entry planning and research by using the outcomes of this research to enhance success likelihood. It provides a three-stage approach to establishing an international business into a national post-conflict environment. The model provides utility through a heightened level of awareness of the business environment that is yet to come.

▼ Within the discourse of community development, the expression 'capacity development' stands out. Its common usage has somehow rendered it almost insignificant given the fact that those who use it tend to think of it in ways that hardly can be considered as having singular meaning. To be precise, there is no consensus as to its meanings; yet, it has not stopped its usage. The implication is that capacity development as a concept remains complex and has the tendency to erect difficulty in the attempt to operationalize it and apply it in evaluating development initiatives. However, this study presents an operational definition of capacity development in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria; levels of capacity development as well as dimensions used to evaluate on-going development projects/ policies in the region. The research method used to gather data was mixed. Quantitative method was more convenient due to the topography of the study area. However, qualitative method was introduced and utilized to guarantee the validity, authenticity and reliability of data collected. Mapping and an
observation of government agencies/ organizations involved in capacity development in the study area (the Niger Delta region, by extension); questionnaires that spoke of practices supportive of capacity development in the region as well as resources available to Southern Ijaw LGA for capacity development; focused group discussions and in depth interviews that drew
attention to factors affecting capacity development at all levels; individual, institutional and societal etc. these tools were means that efficiently helped in assessing the extent to which capacity development has been operationalized in
post conflict Niger delta.

▼ Post-
conflict reconstruction and development is a challenge for many civil war-torn countries. The commonly used reconstruction and development strategies such as peace building provide temporary relief from the effects of war but fail to address the long-term issue of economic development of a country. Scholars are now recognising that entrepreneurship is the solution to sustainable
post-
conflict reconstruction and economic development. Local entrepreneurship provides employment opportunities, sustains livelihoods and reduces poverty. Most importantly entrepreneurship creates employment opportunities for ex-combatants’ reintegration into civil society. This research contributes to the literature on
post-
conflict reconstruction and development. It focuses on
post-
conflict Bougainville in Papua New Guinea. Entrepreneurs seem to be driving the economic reconstruction of
post-
conflict Bougainville. However, entrepreneurship and development seem to be occurring only in North Bougainville, while South Bougainville remains marginalised. In addition, many South Bougainvilleans entrepreneurs are migrating from their homes to North Bougainville in order to establish businesses. The study looks at the factors or motivation behind this phenomenon. The research used mixed methods research which consisted of a survey questionnaire for the quantitative component and in-depth interviews for its qualitative component. The survey questionnaire was conducted on a sample of Bougainville entrepreneurs, while the sample for the in-depth interviews comprised South Bougainville entrepreneurs. The research was conducted in the Buka and Kokopau towns of North Bougainville. Data from the survey questionnaire was analysed using SPSS. An inductive reasoning approach was used to analyse qualitative data for emerging themes. Analysis showed that market size, proximity to government services and transport infrastructure are some motivational factors attracting South Bougainvillean entrepreneurs to Buka and Kokopau. The result also shows ‘push factors’. The lack of employment opportunities is pushing people into entrepreneurship. Security is also shown to be important factor in determining the business location. The main constraint businesses face is lack of funds or access to funding. Another problem for the Bougainville-owned retail businesses is the Chinese-owned shops whose cheaper prices are driving the Bougainvilleans out of business. In conclusion, the research emphasises that in order to encourage entrepreneurship the following factors need to be addressed: building transport infrastructure; establishing security; and providing funding. Future research needs to focus on how to stimulate entrepreneurship in South Bougainville.

▼ This study investigates the different approaches of quality of education in (
post-)
conflict situations.
The model of Adams approaches quality of education as reputation, input, process, content, output and
as value-added. During the last fifty years there is a trend in focus on quality, shifting from quality as
input and output to quality as process and content. The constructivist and socio-cultural ideas about
how to stimulate learning and the ideas about international development are used to give meaning to
quality as process and quality as content. According to these ideas, more attention should be given to
collaboration, innovation and critical thinking and to ownership and participation.
The study shows that in improving the educational quality in situations of (
post-)
conflict,
social and affective aspects of learning and active participation should be emphasized. Therefore,
quality as process and quality as content are even more important to reach quality of education in
situations of (
post-)
conflict. The case-study about the policies and practices of UNICEF and Save the
Children in Kosovo analyzes how both organizations address quality of education. Both organizations
have a rights-based perspective on development and both organizations especially address quality as
process and quality as content to improve education in Kosovo. UNICEF pays most attention to
quality as process and Save the Children emphasizes quality as content. It can be concluded that these
approaches are the right way to improve the educational sector in Kosovo. However, more emphasis
should be given to social and affective aspects of learning to reach better quality of education.

▼ This thesis explores how the United Nations
Peacebuilding Commission (PBC), established with the mandate to
provide political accompaniment to countries emerging from violent
conflicts, approaches the question of sovereignty within these
countries. Rooted in the paradoxical approach to sovereignty within
the realm of peacebuilding, the thesis argues that fundamental
theoretical problems with the nature of peacebuilding lead to
certain critical, real world limitations to peacebuilding
operations in practice. Through an analysis of the PBC’s
experiences in Burundi, this thesis argues that a lack of a shared
and coherent working definition of peacebuilding between the PBC
and the countries on its agenda affect significantly the way PBC
presents itself and the promises it holds for a
post-
conflict
country – and perhaps more importantly how much power it is able to
exercise and how this power influences the design and
implementation of the peace agenda.

▼ This study explores
post-
conflict reconciliation in four local organizations promoting reconciliation in Rwanda: two Christian programs and two women's programs. The transformative learning literature from adult education and the reconciliation literature from various fields are synthesized in an effort to develop a theory of transformative reconciliation by analyzing participant experiences within the four organizations. The concept of transformative reconciliation was developed to address well-recognized weaknesses in reconciliation theory and practice, by making distinctions between multiple kinds of reconciliation and clarifying what supports and impedes them. Additionally, certain weaknesses in the transformative learning literature are addressed by applying the theory to the
post-genocide Rwandan context. This study employs the qualitative case study method to interpret profoundly personal experiences of genocide and reconciliation within each organization and within the larger sociopolitical context. In addition to years of prior experience in the region, the two fieldwork phases of this study totaled over a year. Beyond the initial survey of many programs, research methods included unstructured interviews of organization leaders and participants, observation of program activities and reconciliation retreats, document analysis, and a wider study of the sociopolitical context of Rwanda. A full case report was created for each organization, and its position within the overall context was closely considered. The findings of this study reveal that Christian organizations are assisted in promoting transformative reconciliation by a combination of political, cultural, psychological, historical, and pedagogical factors. One women's empowerment program had less dramatic but potentially more powerful results over the long run. The fourth program for widows of the genocide was quite effective in transformative learning but was limited by contextual factors in promoting transformative reconciliation. Drawing from the four cases, this study offers nine distinct recommendations for reconciliation programming in
post conflict environments. In regards to the theory base, this study provides a fruitful way of viewing reconciliation of multiple types within complex sociopolitical environments. It also provides insight into several areas of weakness in transformative learning theory, including: negative transformations, other-than-rational learning processes, the role of power and context, the importance of culture, and the notion of surrender as authentic transformation.

▼ Religion played an important role in the Rwanda’s 1994 genocide, but it is also playing a significant role in Rwanda’s recovery. Using a mixed methods approach, this dissertation inquires about the role of religious beliefs, religious social contacts, and religious organizations in promoting reconciliation after the genocide. Religious beliefs and values have laid the groundwork for hope and action for many people. Individuals rely on religious values, religious friends, and religious organizations for psychological support, vital economic assistance, and as means to reassert their personhood and membership in community. Religious organizations have developed religious understandings of peace as well as programs to respond to individual and community needs. These individual and organizational efforts are quantitatively and qualitatively linked to a variety of positive
post-
conflict outcomes. The role of religion in working toward peace in Rwanda is limited, however, as the country’s government has created a powerful state apparatus which discursively defines the genocide, peace, and reconciliation in ways which restrict the range of religious action.

▼ The objective of this thesis is to address the reconciliation problem in Sri Lanka. It addresses two research questions: (a) whether the transitional justice mechanism proposed by the international community can help build reconciliation in Sri Lanka? and (b) what alternative mechanisms can be implemented in support of these mechanisms to reconcile the divided communities? Sri Lanka ended 30 years of civil war in 2009. However, a successful reconciliation mechanism has not yet been implemented. Currently, Sri Lanka experiences significant ethnic division and this may lead to the recurrence of the civil war. The international community proposed the implementation of mechanisms for reconciliation including truth commissions and hybrid courts. The thesis argues that these classical mechanisms, even though useful, are not sufficient. Hence, an additional mechanism is required to address the Sri Lankan reconciliation problem.
To address the identified research questions, this thesis uses three main concepts: Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL), structural violence and the capabilities approach. TWAIL demonstrates that the third world people’s perspective must be represented in the reconciliation mechanisms. From a third world people’s perspective, increased structural violence as a result of the civil war is the key factor that prevents reconciliation. This thesis defines structural violence as the violence arising out of particular social or institutional structures, which results in providing privileges to one communal group to the detriment of others, creating antipathy within the disadvantaged group. The thesis argues that any mechanism for reconciliation should address the problem of increased structural violence. To address increased structural violence, the thesis suggests the use of the capabilities approach as developed by Amartya Sen.
The capabilities approach is designed to enhance wellbeing and the quality of life by considering the opportunities of the people, individual abilities, available resources and personal values. It suggests that the victims of the civil war should be included in domestic political and economic mechanisms. The current Sri Lankan political situation does not allow minority groups, such as the Tamils, to effectively participate in politics. One way of addressing this problem is the implementation of an effective power sharing mechanism. The thesis introduces three reform proposals: (a) to elect a Governor from each Provincial Council; (b) to implement national government consultative committees and (c) to implement a permanent minority seat to represent the Tamils in the government.
The thesis argues that as a result of the civil war structural violence in economic terms has increased. To address this problem the thesis introduces reform proposals to ensure war-victims’ inclusion in the economic process by: (a) enacting anti-discrimination laws (b) reducing the number of military personnel from the North and the East (c) developing the capabilities and skills of the…

▼ This study is set against the background of a continued lack of social engagement across difference in South African classrooms. It set out to explore the potential of a specific pedagogical intervention - digital storytelling - as a
post-
conflict pedagogy in a diverse pre-service teacher education classroom. Personal storytelling has long been used to unearth lived experiences of differently positioned students in the classroom. More recently, the use of digital technologies has made it easier to transform these personal stories into publishable, screenable and sharable digital resources. In general, digital storytelling is lauded in the literature for its potential to facilitate an understanding across difference, allowing empathy and compassion for the 'Other'. In this study, I question this potentially naive take on digital storytelling in the context of
post-
conflict pedagogies. I was interested in the emotions emerging - particularly in what I termed a potential sentimentality - in both the digital storytelling process and product. I looked at sentimentality in a specific way: as the tension between the centrality of emotions to establish an affective engagement between a storyteller and the audience, and digital stories' exaggerated pull on these emotions. This is seen, for example, in the difficulty that we have when telling stories in stepping out of normative, sentimental discourses to trouble the way we perform gender, race, class and sexuality, all of which are found in the actual stories we tell and the images we use. It is also found in the audience response to digital storytelling. Adopting a performative narrative inquiry research methodology, framed by theorists such as Butler, Ahmed, and Young, all three feminist authors interested in the politics of difference, working at the intersection of queer, cultural, critical race and political theory, I adopted three different analytical approaches to a narrative inquiry of emotions. I used these approaches to analyse stories told in a five-day digital storytelling train-the-trainer workshop with nine pre-service teacher-education students. Major findings of this study are: In everyday life stories, students positioned themselves along racial identities, constructing narratives of group belonging based primarily on their racialized identities. However, in some students' stories - particularly those that offer a more complex view of privilege, acknowledging the intersectionality of class, gender, age, sexuality and race - these conversations are broken up in interesting ways, creating connections between students beyond a racial divide. Looking at the digital story as a multimodal text with its complex orchestration of meaning-making through its different modes, it became clear to me that conveying authorial intent is difficult and that the message of a digital story can be compromised in various ways. The two storytellers I looked at in more detail drew from different semiotic histories and had access to different semiotic resources, such as different…

▼ Wars and conflicts have been dominant in the history of the world, particularly in Africa for some time now. The Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) records that the continent of Africa experienced an approximately 630 state-based and non-state armed conflicts between 1990 and 2015. These conflicts have been caused by a multiplicity of factors and have negatively impacted the economic development of states. The youth have often been involved in these conflicts. Sierra Leone experienced a civil war caused by a multiplicity of factors from March 1991 to January 2002 which destroyed the state systems and infrastructure in sectors such as health, education and energy and displaced many people. It began the post-conflict reconstruction headed by the United Nations (UN), its agencies and other stakeholders to establish peace and rebuild what has been lost or destroyed. The state, although have made some progress with the help of non-state actors after the civil war, continues to suffer challenges that are dire to its economic development. Youth employment and provision of education are two key sectors that suffer challenges. They also pose a threat to the stability of state security because they are part of the causes of the civil war. As such, the main objective of the study is to find out the challenges that Sierra Leone faces and its ramifications for economic development, particularly with youth employment and education sectors. The study hypothesised that the measures put in place in post-conflict Sierra Leone have improved the education and youth employment sectors. The research used semi-structured interviews and purposive sampling methods to obtain quality and reliable data for subsequent analysis. It reveals that with measures put in place by Sierra Leone and with the assistance of non-state actors, she has achieved considerable progress in the education sector, as well as youth employment. The study recommends, among others, that there should be better working conditions for teachers in the education sector and also a national system which absorbs graduates after completion of tertiary studies to enable them to have some work experience to help them find official employment.

▼ Post-conflict army reconstruction is an important element of security sector reform (SSR), tracing its origins to at least 1980, before the SSR concept itself was formulated. Reconstruction of security forces is an important element in wider postconflict reconstruction, and for political reasons, an army has almost always deemed necessary.
Since 1998, SSR itself has been increasingly conceptualized, with principles for SSR having been laid down by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) since 2004. Yet SSR faces a host of philosophical and practical problems, perhaps the greatest being the gap between theory and practice (Chanaa's 'conceptual-contextual divide'). To make SSR efforts more successful, the underlying principles need to be revised and amended. Post-conflict army reconstruction experience since 1980, and associated academic study, military doctrine, and work by international organizations (particularly the OECD) can provide a basis for such revision. This thesis aims to survey post-conflict army reconstruction activities since 1980, draw overall lessons from that review and field study in Liberia, and propose amendments to the SSR principles on that basis.

▼ Peace education is educational instruction focusing on a pupil’s sense of community, civic duty and cooperation. Peace education scholars hypothesize that it offers a way to foster peace and reconciliation in countries and regions coping with the aftermath of conflict. Peace education is a dynamic field of research that has gained increased attention in academia over the last four decades. One of the main propositions that scholars have investigated in this field is the possible relationship between education and the success of post-conflict development and reconciliation measures.
The conflict in Sri Lanka was a decades-long armed conflict that was often described both as an ethnic conflict and as a civil war. While the warring parties were indeed of different ethnic groups, a closer examination of the conflict reveals that the tension between the ethnic groups stemmed from competition over economic and political resources and power as a legacy of ‘divide and rule’ policies set in place by a colonial ruler. After Sri Lanka gained independence from the British Empire, there was a struggle to revise the political structure that led to violent conflict. This conflict officially ended in 2009 at which time there was a renewed focus on reconstruction and reconciliation efforts that could include peace education.
In this thesis, I analyze peace education studies with specific consideration given to three primary aspects of the implementation of a peace education program in post-conflict Sri Lanka, which include examining the appropriate agent and timing of implementation as well as the viability of such a program given the ongoing tension relating to ethnic and linguistic differences.

▼ Peace education is educational instruction focusing on a pupil’s sense of community, civic duty and cooperation. Peace education scholars hypothesize that it offers a way to foster peace and reconciliation in countries and regions coping with the aftermath of conflict. Peace education is a dynamic field of research that has gained increased attention in academia over the last four decades. One of the main propositions that scholars have investigated in this field is the possible relationship between education and the success of post-conflict development and reconciliation measures.
The conflict in Sri Lanka was a decades-long armed conflict that was often described both as an ethnic conflict and as a civil war. While the warring parties were indeed of different ethnic groups, a closer examination of the conflict reveals that the tension between the ethnic groups stemmed from competition over economic and political resources and power as a legacy of ‘divide and rule’ policies set in place by a colonial ruler. After Sri Lanka gained independence from the British Empire, there was a struggle to revise the political structure that led to violent conflict. This conflict officially ended in 2009 at which time there was a renewed focus on reconstruction and reconciliation efforts that could include peace education.
In this thesis, I analyze peace education studies with specific consideration given to three primary aspects of the implementation of a peace education program in post-conflict Sri Lanka, which include examining the appropriate agent and timing of implementation as well as the viability of such a program given the ongoing tension relating to ethnic and linguistic differences.

▼ Post-conflict army reconstruction is an important element of security sector reform (SSR), tracing its origins to at least 1980, before the SSR concept itself was formulated. Reconstruction of security forces is an important element in wider postconflict reconstruction, and for political reasons, an army has almost always deemed necessary. Since 1998, SSR itself has been increasingly conceptualized, with principles for SSR having been laid down by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) since 2004. Yet SSR faces a host of philosophical and practical problems, perhaps the greatest being the gap between theory and practice (Chanaa's 'conceptual-contextual divide'). To make SSR efforts more successful, the underlying principles need to be revised and amended. Post-conflict army reconstruction experience since 1980, and associated academic study, military doctrine, and work by international organizations (particularly the OECD) can provide a basis for such revision. This thesis aims to survey post-conflict army reconstruction activities since 1980, draw overall lessons from that review and field study in Liberia, and propose amendments to the SSR principles on that basis.

▼ This thesis details PhD research that was conducted as a means of better understanding the role that neighbourhoods, and a legacy of conflict in neighbourhoods, may play in the desistance process during reintegration. The research adopted a triangulated qualitative mixed methods approach, consisting of 44 interviews, 60 hours of observations and media analysis of 135 news articles. This research provides a number of key original insights that comprise a unique theoretical contribution to desistance literature. The first is that neighbourhoods and a legacy of conflict affect the desistance process during reintegration among those with a persistent offending background. The findings indicate that barriers to desistance are inherently bound up in the complex interplay between individual needs/issues and a variety of neighbourhood factors relating to criminogenic norms and values, drug and substance abuse, public disorder, opportunities, social integration, paramilitary involvement, as well as employment and housing issues. Importantly, these insights emphasise the need for a broader neighbourhood-level conceptualisation of the desistance process that has yet to be fully realised within existing desistance literature. Additionally, the findings emphasise that in light of the limitations of existing literature, reintegrative services have not been designed nor informed in such a way that allows them to fully address the issues that stem from the neighbourhood-level. Subsequently, it appears that services may be limited in their ability to address the extent of the issues created by these contexts, thereby hindering desistance outcomes. Given these insights, the research proposes a layered desistance model which helps to illuminate the relationships that appear to exist between individual needs/issues and neighbourhood factors. In doing so, this research not only provides a means of understanding the role that neighbourhoods and a legacy of conflict can play in the desistance process, but also advocates for a number of improvements to service delivery.

“We Cannot Forget” How Then Shall We Remember? : An empirical study of the impact of post-conflict memorialisation on individual healing in Cambodia.

▼ Memorialisation has become a mainstream feature of transitional justice in recent decades; one that is oft assumed to contribute to healing in post-conflict societies. While a relationship between the two phenomena arguably exists, little research has been carried out to identify causal mechanisms or explain why some forms of memorialisation lead to enhanced levels of healing while others do not. By combining the fields of political psychology, memory studies and peace and conflict research, this study develops a theoretical framework to better evaluate the impact of memorialisation on individual healing. A simple typology of passive and active memorialisation is developed, from which I argue that initiatives that are more active in nature will lead to greater levels of individual healing. The hypothesis is empirically tested through in-depth interviews conducted with survivors of the Cambodian genocide who have engaged in memorialisation efforts. The main findings support the hypothesis, revealing that passive initiatives possess limited healing benefits and can only be expected to contribute to low-levels of recovery. In contrast, active memorialisation is found to host a greater range of healing mechanisms, as they engage individuals socially and psychologically and thereby contribute to deeper healing needs.

▼ This thesis examines the paradigms of masculinities during and after Northern Ireland’s
conflict to understand how societal transition from intrastate
conflict impacts males’ identities and mental health. Focusing on fieldwork conducted predominately in Derry/Londonderry and applying masculinity theories, this thesis explores the experiences of males aged 29 to 40 who grew up during the 1990s’ peace process. Social and mental health professionals and community and youth workers have expressed concern for the mental health and well-being of this population of men, as well as young men born after the peace process. With this concern in mind, this thesis argues that the continuous presence of contested images of masculinity that existed prior to the
conflict and that emerged during the
conflict, along with the cultural practice of silence, has resulted in an ambiguous understanding of masculinity in the
post-
conflict era, and has had a negative impact on males’ mental health.

▼ The transformation of conflict-affected countries into peaceful, stable, and more prosperous ones is an immensely complex task, often susceptible to contradictory pressures and to the risk of relapsing into violence (UNDP and World Bank 2007). Most common approaches link social and economic development with conflict and peace, slowly; the environment has become central to understanding of both war and peacebuilding. Characterized by multiple transition processes including the transition from conflict to peace, democratization, decentralization and market liberalization, post-conflict situations, often perceive environmental governance and the sustainable management of natural resources as being distinct from – and sometimes even in conflict with – peacebuilding and development. However, natural resources and the environment hold tremendous peacebuilding potential and are able to underpin many peacebuilding priorities (Conca and Wallace 2012; Jensen and Lonergan 2012). As a mechanism for peace, the environment has some useful, perhaps even unique qualities that are well suited for peacebuilding and conflict resolution. Environmental problems ignore political borders. They require a long-term perspective, encourage participation by local and non-governmental organisations, help build administrative, economic and social capacities for action and facilitate the creation of commonalities that transcend the polarisation caused by economic relations. The present document is the report of the author’s graduation project. Its main goal is to identify the conditions under which environmental governance can facilitate, conflict transformation and peacebuilding in the region of Barranquilla, Colombia. The study is primarily an attempt to systematize the role of spatial planning in environmental governance with regard to conflict prevention and peacebuilding, to define its scope more clearly through an environmental assessment and an integral recovery plan.

▼ This thesis focuses critically on contemporary theory and practice of peace-building where there has been
conflict. The commonality of the resumption of violence after peace processes in many recent examples, suggests that both theory and practice have not worked as intended. The thesis explores insights that might improve the odds that governing institutions (or, more particularly, the people who work in them) can put aside violence. In the terms used in this thesis: how might Leviathan be pacified? Therefore, the thesis deals with basics evident in all recorded (and probably pre-historic) human experience. For the modern states of Western Europe and North America, pacifying Leviathan followed centuries of
conflict (including two world wars), interspersed with governance reforms and constitutional adjustments. The process is ongoing, but by the middle of the 20th century “the liberal state” clearly emerged, with features that included constitutions, the rule of law, the protection of human rights and the market system. There appeared to be a widespread view after World War II that the liberal state apparatus’ essence could be written down in documents, transplanted into many different historical and cultural contexts and would work much as the model predicted i.e. was easily reproducible, perhaps infinitely, even in smaller and smaller versions. From 1945 to 2010, the numbers of states at the United Nations almost quadrupled (51 to 192). Member 193 (South Sudan) may emerge from decades of
conflict in 2011. In all that state formation, the optimistic view was that the new documents and institutions would provide structures within which political and/or ethnic competitors/combatants would engage in non-violent political competition. In this thesis, “reverse-engineering” is the term given to this notion. Such optimism was severely dented by the experiences of many newly-independent states in the mid-late 20th century. As violence escalated in new and existing states all over the world after the Cold War ended (taken, for convenience, as 1990), reverse-engineering remained at the core of the formula for peace-building after
conflict. As with the
post-colonial period, liberal peace-building since 1990 have also been repeated failures to work as intended, including the resumption of
conflict. The most fragile states have posed the hardest problems, not only for the suffering citizens but for the international community seeking how best to help.
With this in mind, and accepting that each state and society is unique, this thesis sets out building blocks for alternative approaches. It does not suggest there are simple answers in pacifying Leviathan, either generally or in relation to any particular example. If it is indeed possible in any place (e.g. Haiti) to reduce ongoing
conflict, the argument is that these blocks should be amongst the foundations of theory to inform practice.
The core thesis is thus that the chances of pacifying Leviathan might be significantly improved if domestic and international actors:

▼ Ending four decades of all-out civil war, Myanmars military government during the early 1990s managed to institute ceasefires with most of the minority ethnic insurgent groups. Most scholars were critical of the ceasefires, arguing that the failure to reach more lasting political settlements obstructed more fundamental progress in the affected areas. Some even argued that the ceasefires undermined the pressure for democratisation and therefore were detrimental to the countrys political broader development. To the contrary, it is the argument of this thesis that the ceasefires served as a catalyst for important social, political and economic change processes that in turn improved the uptake of democratic opportunities in the relevant areas after the start of the liberalisation process in 2011. This is confirmed by tracing and comparing developments in two
conflict-affected minority ethnic regions of Myanmar from the early 1990s until the present day: Mon-populated areas which benefitted from the ceasefire agreement between the government and the New Mon State Party in 1995, and Karen populated-areas which continued to be affected by armed
conflict between the government and the Karen National Union until 2012. The thesis is primarily based on primary data, including personal observations from the direct involvement of the author in Myanmar politics over the past three decades, as well as scores of semi-structured interviews with key informants in the two regions, mainly conducted during fieldwork in 2016-17.

▼ Since the allied invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001, there have been three presidential elections in Afghanistan, with the first democratic hand-over of power happening in 2014.
Post-
conflict elections have been widely debated by academics, with particular concern over the environment in which they are held and to which they contribute. If the elections are successful in producing a legitimate outcome, they can be used to further stability and nation building. If the elections are unsuccessful, then they risk a return to
conflict. The lack of interference in the electoral process by politicians and non-relevant government agencies is one factor that adds to their legitimacy; if such interference occurs, the results are muddied. Legitimacy and unambiguous outcomes are crucial in determining the success of an election. This thesis explores the three Afghanistan presidential elections from 2004-2014 to assess if the elections are helping to enable – in this respect, at least - a
post-
conflict, democratically viable state. This thesis contributes to the literature on
post-
conflict democracy building in a measured way, by focusing on the three Afghanistan presidential elections to gauge whether they have been successful and effective in enabling a democratically viable Afghanistan, or at the very least, demonstrate an increasing democratic integrity. The findings present significant challenges to reports that the three presidential elections in Afghanistan bode well for democratic consolidation. They suggest, rather, that these elections have been to a greater or lesser extent rife with fraudulent votes, corrupt candidates and officials, and corruption by representatives of the government such as the Independent Election Commission. The corrosive effects of corruption are not restricted to the presidential elections, but have become an increasing part of everyday life in Afghanistan. What makes the situation worse is that the international community supporting democratization is more inclined for an electoral result to emerge that to highlight the shortcomings of the process. My conclusion is that Afghanistan continues to face major challenges in conducting free and fair elections, and while elections are not the entire picture of democratization, they are its symbolic and genuine centrepiece. As long as this situation continues, democratization will be compromised, perhaps fatally.

▼ This mini-dissertation relates to the
post-
conflict
period in the DRC, Rwanda and Sierra Leone, juxtaposing the
rights-based and interest-based approaches to
conflict management
and resolution. The study is premised on the lack of significant
collaboration between the two approaches, notwithstanding the
already existing collaboration. The rights-based approach posits
that there exist some crimes of international dimension that should
not be left unprosecuted for whatever reason. The approach sees the
compliance with international norms on the respect of human rights
as more important than coming to a final resolution of
conflict.
This paradigm therefore postulates that transgressors of
international norms cannot take part in peace agreements and must
be held individually responsible for the atrocities they have
committed. The approach considers justice as a prerequisite to
peace. The interest-based approach frowns at the idea of laying
blame on persons as being responsible for committing horrendous
breaches and rather seeks to be neutral and not blaming any party.
The approach encourages more dialogue and cooperation between the
two parties which could culminate in a settled agreement. The
approach gives more room to inclusiveness, participation and
conflict resolution. Peace here is accepted to be a conditio sine
qua non to justice and the resolution of
conflict thereafter. As a
result of this juxtaposition of approaches, proponents of the two
approaches have been perpetually suspicious of each other’s
approach. This impasse has therefore retarded collaboration in the
two paradigms to a sufficient degree. This study therefore argues
for a third stand, which is the synergy of the approaches to
collaborate to a degree which will enhance sustainability in peace
agreements to guarantee durable and long lasting peace in the DRC,
Rwanda and Sierra Leone. This third stand depicts that integrating
the approaches, insights and knowledge from one approach strengthen
and benefit the other.
Conflict resolvers will understand how
rights denial have the potential of igniting
conflict, and human
rights actors will enhance their negotiation skills in
conflict
resolution especially in areas where the access to rebel occupied
zones and even to political prisoners is difficult. Finally, the
study has also depicted how traditional African methods and
concepts like Gacaca and Ubuntu can be enhanced within the broad
usage of the two paradigms and not as competitive paradigms. Gacaca
is a traditional mechanism in Rwanda whose primordial aim is the
settlement and reconciliation of the victim with his perpetrators.
Ubuntu seeks to reiterate the connectivity existing between
Africans. Conflicts will not exist if we all love one another due
to our connectivity. ‘We’ is given more consideration than ‘I’.
This is the understanding from the perspective of Ubuntu.

▼ Transitional justice is built on the assumption that all societies with a legacy of human rights abuses should implement a special set of mechanisms to address a violent past. In certain cases, the law defines the scope of the transitional
process and, occasionally, even the scope of what is considered as “violence”. The objective of this research is to understand how transitional justice is conceived and articulated in the ongoing Colombian armed conflict. To serve this purpose, I ask
three research questions. First, when and how does the Colombian government engaged with “transitional justice” in its legal system? Second, how is “transitional justice” defined in the laws?; and third, who are “victims” and “perpetrators” represented
within the Colombian “transitional justice” framework? To address these questions, I analyzed two separate sets of transitional justice legal documents.

▼ This dissertation examines the factors that shape political participation and perceptions about political choice during and after conflict. Societies that experience civil war, and particularly ethnic civil war, are vulnerable to the “conflict trap,” meaning that they are likely to experience second or third wars based on tensions exacerbated by conflict. Existing literature on group mobilization in post-conflict societies and related scholarship predicts that factors like ethnic identity, income, and education best explain participation in political violence and likelihood of recurrence of civil war. However, countries often defy these predictors, and gaps remain in our understanding of how citizens participate in politics during conflict. This dissertation therefore seeks to answer the question: What explains citizens’ choices about political participation as they experience the turmoil conflict and post-conflict periods?
To answer this question, this study draws upon the case of Burundi, a country that has hovered between post-conflict and conflict statuses since the conclusion of its recent civil war. I conduct qualitative analysis of 113 in-depth interviews collected across four provinces in Burundi, examining the variety of choices made in relation to political participation both during and after the war. I find that citizens’ choices about political participation are fluid, and heavily contingent upon their interpersonal connections, with specific contributions in three main areas.
First, rebel and political groups’ identities hinge upon the values associated with narratives they use to garner legitimacy, more so than the division itself (be it political, ethnic, or otherwise). Second, interactions that take place between generations and within key social networks heavily influence patterns of political participation. These interactions explain the wide array of relationships to politics observed within subgroups (like youth and women), and provide a better understanding of how they take action. Last, in the post-conflict era, non-state actors influence the potential for conflict, simultaneously creating space for wider political participation and challenging state actors still interested in maintaining legitimacy. These findings challenge currently weak predictors of cyclical violence and the assumed mechanisms driving them, highlighting the prominence of social ties and roles that shape mobilization and political choice.

▼ One of the significant challenges confronting the international community in the
post-Cold War
era is dealing with intra-state conflicts in various parts of the world, particularly in Africa. In
addressing this issue, it has also become essential over time, to address the question of what
states must do upon the cessation of hostilities to prevent a recurrence of the
conflict.
Consequently,
post-
conflict development, including the rebuilding of infrastructure, political and
social institutions, demobilizing, disarming and reintegrating ex-combatants and generally
creating conditions for sustained development has according to Krause & Jütersonke 2005
become the ‘core business’ of the international humanitarian and development community. This
has created a peacebuilding industry that seeks to prevent recidivism in violent conflicts. While
there have been successes, there have also been significant failures in this regard. In 2003,
Liberia brought to an end a fourteen year old civil war with the signing of a comprehensive
peace accord. With a legacy of institutions shattered by war and long periods of mal-governance
Liberia began a process of
post conflict development aimed at addressing the human security
needs of its people. The main objective of the study is to examine human security in the
post
conflict development of Liberia from an institutional perspective. A critical aspect of this is to
interrogate the extent to which the record of human security is deepening historic socio-
economic inequalities and how that threatens the sustainability of Liberia’s
post-
conflict
development. The research hypothesised that the floundering state of institution building in
post-
conflict Liberia is likely to foster uneven results in human security, re-establish socio-economic
inequalities, and engender negative consequences with the potential of instigating relapse into
violent
conflict. The research findings noted that, whilst Liberia has made tremendous efforts at
building institutions to advance various components of human security, there is still a lot of
socio-economic inequality between the various counties. The continued spatial inequality is
undermining the sustainability of
post-
conflict development. This will cause Liberia to relapse
into
conflict.

▼ This thesis is an analysis of two conflicts in the Ferghana region of Kyrgyzstan in 1990 and 2010 to understand and find how ethnic relations in
post-Soviet Kyrgyzstan have progressed. In looking at the
conflict, there are two main aspects: first, the motivations of each ethnic group at the time of mobilization and secondly, the hierarchy structure of the groups once they had mobilized and were in the middle of the
conflict.
The 1990
conflict shows a lack in mobilization in both Uzbek and Kyrgyz populations and violence is mostly smaller groups of one ethnicity attacking individuals of the other group. Comparatively, analysis of the 2010
conflict shows mass mobilization within the Uzbek populations and directed violence against all Kyrgyz. 2010 also heralds the organization of political forces on each side perpetuating violence either through propaganda or through the use of agents providing on field support during the violence.
Post-Soviet Kyrgyzstan, heading towards a democratic and self-sustaining nation after the fall of the Soviet Union, fell into the throws of
conflict over its identity. Political corruption, demagogue leaders, and self-enriching politicians brought the promise of a bright future to its end. The rise of nationalism within both Kyrgyz and Uzbek populations over the twenty years since the collapse of the Soviet Union has led to far lethal and disruptive violence in this region.
