IS LOCAL BEAUTIFUL? KARTONIERT (TB)

Based on the swisspeace annual conference 2012  the proposed publication examines the delicate
balance between external interventions and locally-led initiatives. It addresses the question
of what local means in the peacebuilding and development context  which actors on the ground
actually represent the local level and how external actors choose their partners from amongst
them. Moreover  it examines how local ownership - emerging as key criteria for any external
intervention - is constituted: does this concept only imply local participation or is local
control from the outset a must? Finally  it assesses the potential of locally-led initiatives
and local conflict resolution mechanisms and their interaction with external interventions.
Several authors will provide insights on these questions and nuance our thinking about both
local ownership and external interventions. As such  the publication aims to encourage critical
reflections on this topical debate in peacebuilding and development.
