| 内容記述 | This research provides a timely examination of how the COVID-19 pandemic affected peacebuilders, discussing implications for post-pandemic peacebuilding. In the study, 27 peacebuilders worldwide from 13 nationalities reflected on their lived experience of the pandemic. Through an online survey of 20 questions and a text-based interview of 16 questions, they shared insights into how the pandemic affected them and their work in the peace sector. The study was unique because it drew on the expertise of Rotary Peace Fellows and applied pervasive ambiguity as the theoretical foundation (Ball-Rokeach, 1973). Ball-Rokeach (1973) defined pervasive ambiguity as “when individuals or collectives are unable to define a social situation” (p.378). There was no research on the pandemic utilising pervasive ambiguity that placed the lived experiences of Rotary Peace Fellows and those identifying as peacebuilders as the central focus. Rotary Peace Fment professionals or practitioners” engaged in “acaellows are “peace and developdemic training, practice, and global networking opportunities” provided by The Rotary Foundation to become “effective catalysts for peace” (Rotary International, n.d, para.1). Rotary Peace Fellows undertake “fellowships for master’s degrees or certificate studies at premier universities” worldwide (Rotary International, n.d, para.4). In 2021, there were over 1,400 Rotary Peace Fellows globally. The results reveal eight themes relating to the research question “What challenges and opportunities have peacebuilders experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic?” The pandemic decreased peacebuilders’ mental health 28 due to increasing ambiguity and anxiety. The causes of this anxiety included financial concerns and the inability to conduct preplanned peacebuilding projects. In their work, peacebuilders experienced changes in relationships with colleagues and stakeholders because of interpersonal barriers due to physical distancing measures. More broadly, peacebuilders reflected on the extent of social inequality exacerbated by the pandemic. One elaborated that they were “deeply questioning the ethical implications of the systems we are creating and engaging in”. This paper also reveals fears about the future of post-pandemic peacebuilding. If talented peacebuilders continue to have their salaries reduced and experience declining mental health, they may leave the humanitarian and aid sector. However, the data also reveals that while 93 percent of participants experienced threats in their peacebuilding work, 74 percent also experienced opportunities. Benefits included remote working enabling peacebuilders to develop their network of colleagues worldwide. Overall, this research helps humanitarian and aid organisations consider what support and training peacebuilders need to be mentally healthy and continue their essential work. These organisations can address the issues identified in this paper and help protect the future of peacebuilding. | |||||
