The impact of political reconciliation in the Asia-Pacific

该项目将以东帝汶、布干维尔和所罗门群岛为重点，审查政治和解进程、做法和事件对实现亚太和平与安全的贡献。它将采用以密集的国内实地调查为基础的高度联系实际的解释性方法，对区域和解进程进行有经验的评估，这不仅有助于编写关于过渡时期司法、建设和平和安全的学术文献，而且有助于当代有关澳大利亚与其邻近区域内的国家接触的政策辩论。

Focusing on the cases of East Timor, Bougainville and the Solomon Islands, this project will examine the contribution that political reconciliation processes, practices and events make to the pursuit of peace and security in the Asia-Pacific. Using a highly contextual, interpretive approach grounded in intensive in-country fieldwork, it will provide an empirically grounded assessment of regional reconciliation processes that not only contributes to the development of scholarly literature on transitional justice, peacebuilding and security, but also to contemporary policy debates concerning Australia’s engagement with states within its immediate regional neighbourhood.
