The Critical Role of Conflict Analysis and What is Expected of an Intervention?
摘要
This chapter introduces conflict analysis and intervention as a shared space where instability in the developing world post 9/11 means that the inner workings of developing states and localised conflict are of interest to Western States (McConnan, 2019) and starts the discussion on whether the intention of the intervention is to provide security for the recipient country, or the donor? Personal or institutional interests or bias, influences and informs the interveners positioning, and what their goals are. These interests shape the interveners ontological goals for the intervention, and what activities they desire to happen in the situation (whether stated or implicit). Maintaining a sense of self in these scenarios and balancing it with equality of outcome is extremely difficult and requires an intricate understanding of the layers of relationships in order to categorise actions to initiate a participatory and dynamic process of intervention.
