Abstract
The peacebuilding phenomenon has come to dominate the peace and security research spectra. Questions concerning what defines a successful peacebuilding mission and how to get there, is consequently widely debated. In this study a new theoretical framework is therefore developed, with the aim to try to outline some key concepts that are important to incorporate in peacebuilding missions. With outset in eminent research, the framework aims to explain if there are any key variables that needs extra reconsideration and attention when building peace in post conflictual societies. The variables of the framework are further on tested against four empirical cases; Nepal, Guatemala, Mozambique and Sierra Leone, ten years after a signed peace... (More)

With outset in eminent research, the framework aims to explain if there are any key variables that needs extra reconsideration and attention when building peace in post conflictual societies. The variables of the framework are further on tested against four empirical cases; Nepal, Guatemala, Mozambique and Sierra Leone, ten years after a signed peace agreement. Where the definition of agonistic peace has coded the cases as either failures or successful peacebuilding missions. Guatemala is further on outlined as a failure and the other cases are referred to as successful peacebuilding missions. The analysis concludes that one important key concept to prioritize when planning and executing peacebuilding missions is to include a “credible third party” in the process. (Less)
