Interviews carried out with academics, diplomats, UN officials, NGO employees and activists, and former Ministers. Emergent conclusions that patterns of UK engagement with non-state armed groups have been conceptualised as rooted in a variety of normative frameworks – human rights, justice or conflict resolution – but that the substance of policy seems to provide a closer fit with the defence of UK interests, notably in maintaining key alliances, than with these avowed normative intentions. Research note in production. Spoilers – Conflict and Politics One-day conference arranged in March 2010 in conjunction with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, bringing together academic, NGO and official participants to discuss the origins of the ‘spoiler’ concept, its evolution and role in policy. Short write-up of discussion and policy-relevant conclusions produced and circulated. State-Building and National Interests Contribution to evolving state-building theory, examining the foreign policy behaviour of emergent post-conflict states. The paper argues that the process of the consolidation of state authority over national territory, a key post-conflict state-building requirement, may result in internal political conflict being exported into neighbouring territories. Thus the regional spread of violence may be an expected result of successful state-building. The article formed the basis of a guest lecture to the агАЩТлЬГ Conflict and Peace studies MSc course, and was presented at an агАЩТлЬГ research seminar. Awaiting publication. Rwanda, Risk and Policy The paper examines the formation of foreign policy through the lens of international community approaches to Rwanda in the post-genocide period. The paper argues that policy towards Rwanda immediately following the genocide provides a close fit with the outcomes predicted by Prospect theory; but that policy has remained static in the years since, and has thus increasingly diverged from the best-available analysis of contemporary events. It goes on to posit the existence of a feedback mechanism by which perceived risk serve to condition how information flowing into policy-making environments is filtered, such that evidence questioning the framing assumptions driving the existing risk framework is excluded, and confirmatory information accepted, what the paper terms ‘closed risk-understanding loops’. The paper formed the basis of a presentation to York University Centre for Applied Human Rights on Wednesday 10 November. The CNDP and Conflict Resolution The paper outlines the history of the Congres National pour la Defence du Peuple (CNDP) rebel group, identifies the key factors that led to the dissolution of the group, and draws some policy-relevant conclusions for effective peace-making interventions. Paper formed the basis of a guest lecture to the Crisis States Research Centre and a talk to the Oxford Central Africa Forum at Oxford University. To be published in a forthcoming volume produced by Conciliation Resources. DDRRR and the DRC – the case of the FDLR Book chapter for an edited volume on post-conflict demobilisation of armed groups, examining efforts to disarm and demobilise the Rwandan Forces Democratiques pour la Liberation du Rwanda (FDLR) rebel group, based in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The chapter argues that demobilisation attempts have relied on military and technical solutions to a problem that is fundamentally political, and have thus been unsuccessful.
