- Abstract
- The discourse around peace building has changed from a state centric perspective to an increased inclusion of local perspectives.

The method used is the Critical Discourse Analysis of Norman Fairclough. This thesis finds that the order of discourse of The Playhouse is mainly a mix of "prescriptive" and "moral imagination". Through the lenses of the material pre-condition of finance, as well as the liberal peace building discourse, the order of discourse of The Playhouse is in large parts one of self-promotion. It also finds it to be reflective of larger struggles between discourses in peace building. (Less)
