摘要

One of the pressing problems with contemporary peacebuilding research is that much of the analysis focuses on thepractical and technical challenges while paying little attention to the philosophical assumptions of those operations.Any understanding of peacebuilding is underpinned by philosophical frameworks as they shape and orient ustowards particular strategies for peacebuilding. This paper makes a philosophical critique of liberal peacebuilding（the mainstream peacebuilding） and explores a postmodern post-liberal hybrid peacebuilding. The analysis claimsneither the categorical rejection of liberal peacebuilding nor the exclusive reliance on locally-orientedpeacebuilding. Rather, the upshot is the need for deconstructing dualistic view of either liberal peacebuilding orlocally-oriented peacebuilding so that both external liberal actors and local actors engage in jointly learning andmutually transformative process wherein both liberal international actors and local actors look beyond peaceconstructed around their narrow and restricted conception and framework to create the meanings of peace that caninterconnect the global and the local.
