在2010年6月吉尔吉斯斯坦南部发生暴力事件后，许多学者的注意力都集中在其原因上。然而，观察家们几乎没有注意到，尽管奥什、贾拉勒-阿巴德和巴扎尔-科尔贡等城市地区陷入暴力，但吉尔吉斯斯坦南部一些靠近冲突地点、具有相当大冲突潜力的城镇设法避免了暴力。因此，虽然问题是“2010年6月暴力事件的起因是什么？”为什么冲突在一些地方爆发，而在其他具有类似冲突潜力的地方却没有？本文立足于维和研究中关于“地方转向”的理论文献，以广泛的实地调查为基础，探讨维和的地方层面和微观层面。它试图了解吉尔吉斯斯坦南部一些地方的地方领导人和居民为什么以及如何设法防止与奥什、贾拉勒-阿巴德和巴扎尔-科尔贡有关的致命冲突。该项目的主要焦点是阿拉万，这是一个种族混杂的小镇，在2010年6月的动乱中，当地居民设法避免了种族间的冲突。为什么没有发生暴力这一问题的答案可以为冲突管理提供重要的经验教训，不仅对吉尔吉斯斯坦南部，而且对整个中亚地区都是如此。
In the aftermath of the June 2010 violence in southern Kyrgyzstan, much scholarly attention has focused on its causes. However, observers have taken little notice of the fact that while such urban areas as Osh, Jalal-Abad, and Bazar-Korgon were caught up in violence, some towns in southern Kyrgyzstan that were close to the conflict sites and had considerable conflict potential had managed to avoid the violence. Thus, while the question, "What were the causes of the June 2010 violence?" is important, we have few answers to the question, "Why did the conflict break out in some places but not others with similar conflict potential?" Located in the theoretical literature on "the local turn" within peacekeeping studies, this article is based on extensive empirical fieldwork to explore the local and micro-level dimensions of peacekeeping. It seeks to understand why and how local leaders and residents in some places in southern Kyrgyzstan managed to prevent the deadly clashes associated with Osh, Jalal-Abad, and Bazar-Korgon. The main focus of the project is on Aravan, a town with a mixed ethnic population where residents managed to avert interethnic clashes during the June 2010 unrest. The answers to the question of why violence did not occur can yield important lessons for conflict management not only for southern Kyrgyzstan, but also for the entire Central Asian region.
