'Hybridity' in peacebuilding and development interventions

Abstract

‘Hybridity’ has become a prominent notion in the analysis of international peacekeeping and development. It has been used primarily as a lens to view and highlight the myriad interactions between diverse actors, institutions and normative systems in the contexts of specific interventions. Its analytical value in these settings has attracted both supporters and critics. Evaluating its merits and limitations across a range of different peacebuilding and development contexts is the subject of a new book published by ANU Press, Hybridity on the Ground in Peacebuilding and Development: Critical Conversations (Wallis, Kent, Forsyth, Dinnen and Bose 2018).
