Der Zypernkonflikt ist - bedingt durch die strategische Lage der Insel und die daraus abzuleitende historische Entwicklung - nur als Regionalkonflikt analysier- und erklärbar. Die faktische Teilung der Insel durch die einseitige Proklamierung einer unabhängigen Türkischen Republik von Nordzypern, die den Nordteil politisch und wirtschaftlich völlig von der Türkei abhängig gemacht hat, ist Ergebnis der internationalen Konstellation und nicht so sehr Ausdruck spezifisch innerzypriotischer Probleme. Einen Lösungsansatz bietet - neben der durchaus vorstellbaren Möglichkeit einer Verfestigung des Status quo - die Struktur einer bizonalen Föderation. Dazu müßten aber beide Volksgruppen von ihren Zielen abrücken. Die Interessen stehen sich aber diametral gegenüber, etwa im Hinblick auf die Frage von Mehrheit/Minderheit und daraus abgeleiteten Mitwirkungsrechten und/oder Gleichberechtigung sowie der Frage der fortwährenden Internationalisierung des Konfliktes (durch Einschaltung der Vereinten Nationen und der Schutzmacht Großbritannien).

This book analyses the everyday emotions of international peacebuilding practitioners as practices that hinder - and potentially help - them to listen more receptively to their local partners. It develops 'emotional practices' as an analytical framework by integrating critical feminist perspectives insights into practice approaches. Effective peacebuilding requires international actors to listen to local partners, which sounds simple but often fails in practice. Examining how everyday emotions help or hinder internationals' receptivity to local perspectives, the book's approach challenges conventional wisdom that emotions do not matter - at least not those of internationals who are the privileged party in peacebuilding partnerships. The book is based on interviews with peacebuilding practitioners, donors and researchers working in the Balkans and East Africa as well as in the UK, the US and Sweden, and gives a detailed and no-nonsense description of daily dilemmas regarding listening and partnerships. Johansson provides concrete recommendations of how internationals can practice personally, organizationally and geopolitically to build emotional capacity that will help them listen better to local actors. Drawing on the author's expertise in political science and peace and conflict research, this volume speaks to scholars in international relations, political theory, sociology, cultural studies, development studies, critical theory and anthropology.

This book explores how professional and organisational cultures influence global public-private partnerships, which form a key element of global governance. Using case studies, the partnerships of three international government organisations - the International Telecommunication Union, Interpol and the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property - illustrate how partnerships are formed and operate in accordance with the accepted cultural beliefs, values and values associated with both profession and organisation. In brief, engineers create partnerships they are comfortable with, which are different in form and operation to those of police, which also differ from those of the conservator. This book will appeal to scholars of International Relations, global governance, organisational studies and public administration. It also conveys lessons for professionals at the international level in international government organisations, business and civil society who engage in, or want to engage in global public-private partnerships.

This book examines a new type of state formation evoked by the rise of transnational rule, what Schia calls franchised states. Drawing on anthropological studying-through fieldwork within the UN organization, he demonstrates how peacebuilding activities turned Liberia into an object of governing, whereby the UN, in seeking to build the state, also became the state. The sovereign state of Liberia here emerges as a franchise rather than a self-contained entity. Two implications follow: First, that international peacebuilding turns post-conflict countries into clients of the international community. Second, that?sovereignty? is no longer exclusively associated with the state: it is organized in and through specific practices of governing where a state actor is only one among a range of actors. With these findings, the book moves beyond previous work on peacebuilding by focusing on the unbundling of sovereignty. It contributes to the literature on the changing forms of sovereignty by showing the specific ways in which sovereignty is organized, packaged and enacted, often by actors working under international auspices. This book will be of interest to practitioners and students interested in international organizations, international relations, the study of international practices, UN, and peacebuilding.
