“…Thus, efforts should be made to empower and develop 'local peacemakers' and to build on indigenous sociocultural structures and practices. 10 Addressing the issue of local actors as owners and builders of peace, Rupesinghe and Fetherston argue that local actors are 'the primary architects, owners and long-term stakeholders' of peace, 11 and that peace must be produced and reproduced by the people living in a specific post-conflict context. 12 War-zone ethnographer Nordstrom similarly shows how local people and communities affected by violent conflicts use 826 H. Leonardsson and G. Rudd indigenous practices to handle post-conflict situations.…”

“…Therefore, some scholars emphasize the localization and adaptation of norms and challenge mainstream peace-building that only emphasizes external norms. Both emphasize the important role of wisdom, courage, and compassionate non-violent principles in building a stable peace process (Curle, 1994) However, the difference between the two is how to find the balance point between foreign norms and localization of norms, To achieve lasting peace (Lopes & Theisohn, 2003;Shinoda, 2008;Boonpunth, & Saheem, 2022) Before the analysis of this paper, it is necessary to clarify the definition of some concepts. First, about political authority.…”

This paper attempts to take Myanmar and Cambodia as examples to explore the consequences of constructive interaction between the international community and Southeast Asian countries after the cold war. After the end of the Cold War, Southeast Asia encountered two regional conflicts and crises of global concern. We finds that for Myanmar and Cambodia, the ability of political elites is the key to leading regional and global peace. The ability of political elites not only determines the process of external norms, but also affects the changes of regional norms. As far as Cambodia is concerned, through cooperation with the United Nations and ASEAN, it has rapidly rebuilt its political authority and effectively internalized the international community's peacebuilding norms. Therefore, Cambodia can improve its national capacity and stability after the emergence of political authority. As far as Myanmar is concerned, after the end of the cold war, the political authority still exists in Myanmar, thus maintaining a certain degree of national stability. With the outbreak of the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar in 2015, Myanmar's original national construction gradually began to collapse. On the one hand, Myanmar cannot internalize the international community's peacebuilding norms. On the other hand, due to the decline of political authority, various internal forces began to struggle with each other, which ultimately led to the failure of the country. For the dissemination of international norms, whether in Cambodia or Myanmar, the localization of external norms requires the cooperation of the political authorities to effectively prevent conflicts.

“…Some of these are based on the pioneering work of Paulo Freire (1970), who in his classic statement, The Pedagogy of the Oppressed, was one of the first to point out that development programmes implemented from outside in a top-down in nature, tend to augment rather than ameliorate the circumstances of exploitation and oppression felt by impoverished communities in Brazil and Chile. Similarly, Adam Curle (1994) drew on fieldwork experiences in the war-torn Balkans in the 1980s and 1990s to advocate the notion of "peacebuilding from below". A strategy whereby external forms of intervention and mediation concentrate on facilitating the organic empowerment and active participation of local actors and agencies in conflict-resolution and reconciliation.…”

This chapter is written from the distinct perspective of father and son who have worked in and around the world of sport for peace and reconciliationfor 30 and 13 years respectively, both on the ground and at study. In this contribution, we consider the real and potential capacity of sport as a vehicle for building and sustaining peace in the context of societies that are deeply fractured and which, resulting from these fissures, have experienced and/or continue to experience a range of socio-political trauma and conflict across multiple levels. This narrative is constructed around critical reflections of the field and draws sporadically from three case studies in regions of which we both have overlapping experience: Northern Ireland, Israel/Palestine and South Africa. Across these contexts, with varying degrees of success, sport has played a more or less significant role within the prolonged peace processes. We reflect on the successes and failuresand the role of critical sociology across these contextsconcluding with some key lessons and potential ways forward.
