Abstract

内容記述

This article examines how the construction of “the local” shaped legitimacy and
effectiveness in post-9/11 peacebuilding in Afghanistan. Although international actors emphasized participation and local ownership, their interventions often institutionalized a narrow, donor-aligned notion of local agency dominated by urban, Western-educated elites. Drawing on discourse and document analysis of Afghan and international policy frameworks, the study situates Afghanistan within postcolonial critiques of liberal peacebuilding to reveal how external narratives shaped knowledge, legitimacy, and representation.
The analysis identifies three interlinked dynamics undermining legitimacy and
effectiveness: (1) structural urban–rural disparities, where development gains and women’s empowerment programs were concentrated in cities; (2) parallel governance systems, as customary authorities retained everyday legitimacy alongside donor-driven state institutions; and (3) normative and epistemic frictions, as liberal norms clashed with Afghan social orders and sidelined alternative epistemologies. Selective recognition of “representative” locals produced a “legible local” conforming to external expectations, silencing diverse voices and reinforcing existing hierarchies. The study concludes that sustainable and legitimate peacebuilding requires engaging plural localities, recognizing
diverse epistemologies, and adopting more context-sensitive partnerships.
