“…Nessa agenda, abre-se espaço para a exploração de dinâmicas do cotidiano e para as inúmeras expressões de podervisto aqui circulando entre os diversos atores e não apenas sendo "imposto" de cima para baixo. Outro aspecto importante nesse debate é a dimensão da legitimidade associada às ações internacionais e como isso se reflete na sustentabilidade ou na crise da paz (ROBERTS, 2011;RICHMOND, 2014). Por fim, essa literatura abre espaço para que sejam discutidas questões de poder importantes no âmbito da relação entre os atores internacionais e os atores dos países onde as intervenções ocorrem.…”

Consolidação internacional da paz versus ABSTRACT This article discusses the local turn in peacebuilding and the concept of hybridity, highlighting the limitations related to cultural analysis framework utilised in this discussion. It argues that, as long as this debate is tight to the liberal peace (and the expressions of resistance to it), it limits the cultural analysis by excluding a broader discussion that includes alternative interpretations and perceptions of peace that are not necessarily related to the liberal peace.Key-words: peacebuilding; local turn; liberal peace. INTRODUÇÃOAo longo dos últimos 20 anos houve uma expansão significativa da literatura voltada para a chamada "virada local" nos estudos sobre a construção/consolidação da paz (peacebuilding). 2 Em linhas gerais, em suas diferentes vertentes, essa literatura

“…People with high expectations of providing input into a process will react more negatively to being denied voice than people with low expectations (Brockner et al, 2001; Van den Bos et al, 2010). If citizens vary in how they react to the provision of voice, opportunities to participate in political decision-making may not necessarily lead to the expected legitimacy outcomes predicted by post-conflict statebuilding literature (Chesterman 2002;Donais, 2008;Sharp, 2013;Shaw & Waldorf, 2010;Roberts, 2011). Thus, this project also aims to test the potential variation in the relationship between local ownership and legitimacy for different groups in Nepalese society.…”

“…That is, instrumental theories hold that citizens base their assessments of the worthiness of an institution's output, whether that output is distributed fairly, and whether it advances personal welfare (e.g., Bok, 1997;Orren, 1997). In fragile and post-conflict societies, the ability of the government to provide basic services to citizens is often considered to be a key indicator of instrumental government performance (McLoughlin, 2012;Roberts, 2011).…”

Legitimacy refers to the perceived rightfulness of authorities, and is central to citizens' perceptions of institutions such as the government. Legitimate authority is linked to acceptance of institutions and long-term stability of societies. As such, rebuilding the legitimacy of institutions such as the government and judiciary ('institutional legitimacy') is essential for stability in post-conflict societies. In this thesis, I explore the factors that lead citizens to view their government as legitimate following the reconstruction of central government institutions after a conflict. I draw on sociological, political science, social psychological and statebuilding theories to develop and present a theoretical model of post-conflict legitimacy.The model has three key components. The first encompasses relational and instrumental antecedents of legitimacy. Relational antecedents encompass fair and neutral decision-making, as well as respectful and dignified treatment, and are referred to collectively as procedural justice. Instrumental antecedents are those which involve outcomes to citizens, and include distributive justice (fairness in outcome distribution), outcome favourability (personal gain in outcomes), and government performance (the ability of the government to function effectively and provide services to citizens). These main variables are investigated along with contingencies relating to social groups that may influence the relationship between procedural justice and legitimacy, such as national identification and group power. Testing of the first model component revealed that procedural justice was by far the strongest predictor of post-conflict institutional legitimacy, and was significantly stronger than instrumental variables such as distributive justice, government performance, and outcome favourability. Further, the relationship between procedural justice and legitimacy was moderated by national identification and group power, suggesting that procedural justice operates through social identity to exert its positive effect. Moreover, the effect of procedural justice on government legitimacy was not simply due to trust and performance perceptions of local institutions, and was not diminished by the government's ability to provide essential services (as predicted by the statebuilding literature). 4Testing of the second model component revealed that two elements of local ownership-voice and local influence-weakly predicted legitimacy, with these relationships varying according to participants' position in the Nepalese caste hierarchy.Testing of the third model component revealed a significant social interaction effect, such that citizens' legitimacy beliefs are influenced by the legitimacy views of those around them. This effect persisted even when demographic, regional, and individual-level variables were controlled.This thesis concludes that procedural justice is more predictive of post-conflict institutional legitimacy than instrumental outcomes. Further, the relationship appears to operat...
