项目摘要

This project seeks to build a new academic-policy bridging network to promote high quality comparative scholarship and knowledge transfer on conflict resolution and peacebuilding in South and Southeast Asia. We focus on Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Indonesia, Cambodia, Nepal, Northeast India, Timor-Leste and Thailand, all of which are at the cusp of a historic transformation, but where the pathway to peace is contested, fragile, and frequently illiberal.Our network has three objectives: (i) to promote and network academic research on comparative peacebuilding in Asia; (ii) to enable knowledge sharing and policy advocacy among scholars, practitioners, and policy makers; (iii) to advance rigorous scholarship through collaborative publications and research proposals. The primary activities, outputs, and expected outcomes of this network will be threefold: (i) three workshops in Asia and the UK that bring academics and policy-makers together between June 2017 and May 2018; (ii) establishing a new website to promote research and knowledge exchange that is rigorous, evidence based, but also accessible; and (iii) developing collaborative research projects on comparative peacebuilding in Asia, to form the basis for joint publications and future large research grants.The PI and co-investigators piloted a 'workshop-field visit' format in 2015, with internal seed funding from LSE, York and ANU, and held a very successful two-day event for scholars, practitioners, media and policy-makers at the University of Yangon, followed by a three-day field visit. With this proposal we seek to scale up that successful pilot experience and intensify dialogue with multiple stakeholders in the region. We plan two workshops with a field visit component, in Sri Lanka (June 2017), and Indonesia (December 2017); with a final workshop in London (May 2018). These events will include distinct components for academic research presentation, policy dialogue, stakeholder conversations, and knowledge-exchange. The intellectual content of our network events is structured around two key policy themes that make peacebuilding in South and Southeast Asia particularly significant and challenging:(1) These 'post' conflict countries are going through political, social and economic transformations that are not linear and liberal, but often troubled, inconsistent and illiberal. (2) Peacebuilding is in most cases happening amidst a parallel transition from authoritarian rule that can be counter-productive to ethnic conflict resolution. Our network draws on an international consortium scholars working on conflict and peacebuilding across area studies, anthropology, criminology, development studies, political science, sociology and law. Since we initiated our dialogue, we have developed close links with our collaborators who will help us expand country, sectoral and topical expertise, and who bring significant institutional depth to our work. Existing members of our network, who participated in the earlier pilot in Myanmar, include Professor Alex de Waal (Tufts), a seminal author on peacebuilding and dialogue in Africa, Professor Jayadeva Uyangoda (Colombo), the pre-eminent political scientist on the Sri Lankan ethnic conflict, Professor Caroline Hughes (Bradford) on peacebuilding in Cambodia and Timor-Leste, Dr Rachael Diprose (Melbourne) on ethno-religious conflict and inequalities in Indonesia, Professor Chaw Chaw Sein (Yangon) on the dynamics of authoritarian transition in Myanmar, Dr Terence Lee (NUS) on the role of the military in authoritarian transitions in Asia, Dr Stefano Ruzza (Milan) on counterinsurgency, criminology and peacebuilding, Professor Duncan McCargo (Leeds/Columbia) on the ethno-nationalist dimensions of conflict in Southern Thailand, Dr Lars Waldorf (York) on the comparative legal aspects of peacebuilding in Asia and Africa, and Professor Sanjib Baruah (Bard), on peacebuilding and politics in Northeast India.

该项目旨在建立一个新的学术政策桥梁网络，以促进南亚和东南亚解决冲突和建设和平方面的高质量比较奖学金和知识转让。我们的工作重点是斯里兰卡、缅甸、印度尼西亚、柬埔寨、尼泊尔、印度东北部、东帝汶和泰国，这些国家都处于历史性变革的风口浪尖，但通往和平的道路充满争议、脆弱，而且往往是不自由的。我们的网络有三个目标：（i）促进亚洲比较和平建设的学术研究并建立网络;（ii）使学者、从业人员和政策制定者之间能够分享知识和进行政策宣传;（iii）通过合作出版物和研究提案推动严谨的学术研究。该网络的主要活动、产出和预期成果将包括三个方面：（i）2017年6月至2018年5月期间在亚洲和英国举办三次研讨会，将学者和政策制定者聚集在一起;（ii）建立一个新网站，以促进严格、循证、但也可访问的研究和知识交流;以及（iii）开发关于亚洲和平建设比较的合作研究项目，为联合出版物和未来的大型研究赠款奠定基础。2015年，PI和共同研究者试行了“研讨会-实地访问”的形式，在伦敦经济学院、约克大学和澳大利亚国立大学的内部种子基金资助下，该项目在仰光大学为学者、从业人员、媒体和政策制定者成功举办了为期两天的活动，随后进行了为期三天的实地访问。我们提出这一建议，是为了扩大这一成功的试点经验，并加强与该区域多个利益攸关方的对话。我们计划在斯里兰卡（2017年6月）和印度尼西亚（2017年12月）举办两个包含实地考察部分的研讨会;最后一个研讨会将在伦敦举行（2018年5月）。这些活动将包括学术研究报告、政策对话、利益攸关方对话和知识交流等不同组成部分。我们网络活动的知识内容围绕两个关键政策主题展开，这两个主题使南亚和东南亚的建设和平特别重要和具有挑战性：（1）这些“冲突后”国家正在经历政治、社会和经济转型，这些转型不是线性和自由的，而是经常充满麻烦、不一致和不自由的。(2)在大多数情况下，建设和平是在从独裁统治过渡的同时进行的，这可能对解决族裔冲突产生反作用。我们的网络借鉴了一个国际联盟的学者在冲突和建设和平领域的研究，人类学，犯罪学，发展研究，政治学，社会学和法律工作。自从我们发起对话以来，我们与合作者建立了密切的联系，他们将帮助我们扩大国家、部门和专题专业知识，并为我们的工作带来重大的机构深度。我们网络的现有成员参加了早先在缅甸的试点项目，其中包括非洲建设和平与对话方面的开创性作家Alex de Waal教授（塔夫茨大学）、研究斯里兰卡种族冲突问题的杰出政治学家Jayadeva Uyangoda教授（科隆博）、Caroline Hughes教授（布拉德福德）关于柬埔寨和东帝汶建设和平的Rachael Diprose博士（墨尔本）关于印度尼西亚的族裔-宗教冲突和不平等问题，Chaw Chaw Sein教授（仰光）关于缅甸独裁过渡的动态，特伦斯·李博士（新加坡国立大学）关于军队在亚洲独裁过渡中的作用，斯特凡诺·鲁扎博士（米兰）关于反叛乱，犯罪学和和平建设，邓肯·麦卡戈教授（利兹/哥伦比亚）关于泰国南部冲突的族裔民族主义层面，Lars Waldorf博士（约克）关于亚洲和非洲建设和平的比较法律的方面，和Sanjib Baruah教授（吟游诗人），关于印度东北部的和平建设和政治。
