在战后局势中，非政府组织（NGO）以其（被认为的）能力在建设和平进程中发挥着重要作用，既作为民间社会的代表，又作为社会重建和转型中的基层代理人。与其他地方一样，在利比里亚，建设和平的方法包括，首先，国际代表性蓝图，旨在增强普遍被认为在社会上处于从属地位的群体的权能；其次，支持被视为和解中的社会资本的传统机构。本文以利比里亚为例，探讨了当地参与者如何解释和利用非政府组织研讨会——最流行的参与性干预模式；它强调了实践中包容性程序的一些谬误和意想不到的后果，并对向性别秘密社团首脑提供的支持提出了质疑。
In post-war situations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) feature highly in peace-building processes in their (perceived) capacities as both representatives of civil society and as grassroots agents to be employed in the reconstruction and transformation of society. As elsewhere, in Liberia, peace-building approaches include, first, international blueprints of representation that intend to empower groups generally perceived to be socially subordinate and, second, supporting traditional institutions considered social capital in reconciliation. Using the example of Liberia, this paper explores how in local conflict arenas, NGO workshops – the most popular mode of participatory intervention – are interpreted and appropriated by local actors; it highlights some fallacies and unintended consequences of inclusive procedures in practice and questions the support furnished to heads of gendered secret societies.
