intervention in peacebuilding has
yielded different results: some
argue it increases chances of
success, others say it is
counterproductive as it undermines
domestic, local, bottom-up efforts.
One of the issues of peacebuilding
efforts is the assumption that
top-down interventions will trickle
down to the local sphere. This is not
the case, because subnational
conflicts often motivate large parts
of civil war violence (i.e.
Afghanistan, Congo) - the macro
level does not constitute peace at
the subnational level:
local/subnational conflict resolution
needs to be addressed. Others argue
that a sustainable peace needs a
combination of top-down and
bottom-up efforts.
Also, peacebuilding efforts often
use overly simplistic and unrealistic
(as well as unproven) theories of
change which then yield no results,
only minor short-term ones, or
counterproductive ones. Moreover,
there is a massive power dynamic
between international peacebuilders
and local actors which makes it
almost impossible for the latter to
have the opportunity to challenge
even the worst ideas. The liberal

, peace agenda often fuels more
violence and aggravates
socio-economic problems. Finally,
another assumption of the
international peacebuilding
initiatives is that they are needed,
which is seen as normal and
self-evident. The international
actors assume that the local actors
cannot achieve peace on their own,
while in fact outsiders often pose
obstacles to domestic change.

Approaches to conflict are
distinguished into 5 categories
based on concern for Self and
concern for Other (high and low).
Yield: high other, low self
Contending: high self, low other
Withdraw: low self, low other
Accomodation/compromise: self
and other balanced in the middle
Resolution: high self and high other
(strong assertion of one’s own
interest, equal awareness of
aspirations and needs of the others
leads to creative problem-solving
outcome)
