International Actors’ Framing of Peacebuilding Agendas

Chapter 7 offers a comparative look at how the international community framed peacebuilding agendas of intervention linked to national and local spaces. It examines how each country and international organization leading the post-conflict multi-funds or the mission of support to the peace process foregrounded agendas in targeted spaces for peacebuilding intervention. These agendas included development, governance, human rights, peace processes and security. Agendas were related to recommendations for action, information about activities or strategies carried out, and expressions of support, concern or condemnation in online subsidies. The latter reflected the desire for something to be addressed (agenda setting) and an explicit call for action. The chapter starts by introducing some general trends in the agendas and scales of intervention foregrounded by international actors and then explores how each actor privileged (non)specified spaces related to agendas of peacebuilding.
