Thus, a discourse of transition defined by the proclaimed shift of the country from the Dayton Peace Agreement, which ended the war in 1995, to Euro-Atlantic integration, began to intensify in BiH. The discourse of transition is therefore simplistically referred to as 'from Dayton to Brussels'. At the same time up until the middle of the decade, British politician Paddy Ashdown was serving as the High Representative of international community for Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is, therefore, unsurprising that he co-constructed the discourse himself. This diploma thesis examines mainly the process of legitimization of the discourse of transition by Paddy Ashdown. Specific legitimization strategies are examined by means of critical discursive analyses and decolonial approach. The main aim of the thesis is to investigate whether the legitimization strategy of Paddy Ashdown is embedded in colonial matrix of power. Based on analyses of Ashdown's speeches, an overarching legitimization strategy was detected - mythopoesis (referring to myths and stories) rooted in colonial matrix of power. The entire argumentation of the High Representative is built around a fairytalelike story about Bosnia and...
22	The Hybridization of Dichotomies : The Orwellian reality of modern conflicts where war is peace, and words are weapons Delos Montilla, Daniel January 2023 (has links) Hybrid Warfare and Information Operations are not new concepts. However, what could be seen as new is the framing of conflicts in a “negative peace” narrative. As identified in the thesis, negative peace has developed into a means to circumvent the categorization of conflicts as war and hence bypass the legal boundaries of war and limit international intervention. This thesis aims to test whether this view of negative peace can be supported by making a StructuredFocused Comparison between the means of war employed by Russia in the conflict in Georgia and the conflict in Ukraine. First, the thesis outlines a broad understanding of the concept and presents the theory of negative peace. The outline is followed by a conceptual typology of the categorization of a conflict in terms of either “War” or “Negative Peace”, depending on the degree of presence of “Hybrid warfare” and “Information operations”. Finally, this view on the relationship was tested, and in our case, the findings show support. This thesis was initially submitted in January 2021 before the renewed conflict and invasion of Ukraine by the Russian state. The revisions made to the thesis focus on clarifying and furthering the explanations that the examiners deemed necessary without addressing the current situation. Thus the focus of the thesis is kept on the originally established time frame, and the new conditions won't have an altering effect on the previously established analysis, beyond the final commentary on the further renewed relevance of research in the topic at hand.

Security Sector Reform in Haiti Hirschhorn, Damien 15 September 2014 (has links) Cette thèse cherche d'abord à comprendre, en usant de l'exemple Haïtien, si les Réformes du Secteur de Sécurité menées à bien dans le cadre des interventions internationales dans des pays en crise ou en situation de post-conflit, sont efficaces dans l'accomplissement de leurs objectifs et apportent le meilleur soutien d'une manière durable aux Etats hôtes. Finalement, ce document est aussi une base de réflexion pour trouver de nouvelles solutions et pratiques à la mise en oeuvre de Réformes du Secteur de Sécurité. / First of all, this thesis aims at understanding, while using the example of Haiti, if Security Sector Reforms carried out within international interventions in crisis or post-conflict countries are effective at accomplishing their objectives and providing the best support for sustainable changes to host States.
