“Throughout Peaceland, inequality permeates the relationships between interveners and local stakeholders.”
Severine Autesserre, Peaceland: Conflict Resolution and the Everyday Politics of International Intervention

“It is clear that international peacebuilders are not the only, or even the main, figures responsible for the failure of the Congolese peace process. Certain Congolese actors at all levels; certain Rwandan, Ugandan, and Burundian leaders; and the individuals and companies involved in arms trafficking and illegal exploitation of Congolese resources together deserve the largest share of the blame.”
Severine Autesserre, The Trouble with the Congo: Local Violence and the Failure of International Peacebuilding

“At first glance, one might assume that a peacekeeping soldier from Pakistan, a diplomat from the United States, and a human rights advocate from Senegal would approach their jobs quite differently. Yet, while in Congo for a previous research project, I observed striking similarities in the ways that international interveners understand the situations they face and in the strategies they adopt, despite their otherwise extremely different national, professional, social, and economic backgrounds.”
Severine Autesserre, Peaceland: Conflict Resolution and the Everyday Politics of International Intervention
