Zusammenfassung:"This book analyses the everyday emotions of international peacebuilding practitioners as practices that hinder - and potentially help - them to listen more receptively to their local partners. It develops 'emotional practices' as an analytical framework by integrating critical feminist perspectives insights into practice approaches. Effective peacebuilding requires international actors to listen to local partners, which sounds simple but often fails in practice. Examining how everyday emotions help or hinder internationals' receptivity to local perspectives, the book's approach challenges conventional wisdom that emotions do not matter - at least not those of internationals who are the privileged party in peacebuilding partnerships. The book is based on interviews with peacebuilding practitioners, donors and researchers working in the Balkans and East Africa as well as in the UK, the US and Sweden, and gives a detailed and no-nonsense description of daily dilemmas regarding listening and partnerships. Johansson provides concrete recommendations of how internationals can practice personally, organizationally and geopolitically to build emotional capacity that will help them listen better to local actors. Drawing on the author's expertise in political science and peace and conflict research, this volume speaks to scholars in international relations, political theory, sociology, cultural studies, development studies, critical theory and anthropology"--
