Security and Risk Management for Peacebuilding OrganisationsHandbook Article
Explores the particular shape of peacebuilding security, taking as a starting point the security risks and strategies of the related professions of humanitarian, development, and human rights work. The author presents two paradoxes of peacebuilding security, relating to multi-partiality and concerns about instrumentalising security. Building on these paradoxes, she outlines three cornerstones of a peacebuilding approach to security and risk management – adapting to context and organisational profile, emphasising relationship-building and communication, and taking a holistic approach.

New Thoughts on Power: Closing the Gap between Theory and ActionHandbook Article
Contrasts two familiar models of power: domination and cooperation. Arguing that the dominant concept of “power over” has given rise to a damaging global culture of militarism which blurs the line between pacification and peace, the author sketches a thought-provoking vision of how choosing instead to pursue “power with” could bring about a major paradigm shift. Drawing on real-life examples, she champions nonviolent assertiveness and asks: how much could “people power” achieve if it were taken as seriously as war now is?

Culture, Power Asymmetries and Gender in Conflict TransformationHandbook Article
Highlights conflict transformation approaches as necessarily having to deal with the closely linked categories of power asymmetries, gender inequality and cultural difference. The author argues that an overarching, global culture of domination exists. The emancipation of marginalised groups stimulates, and results from, the fundamental culture shift which conflict transformation implies. (revised for 2004 print edition).

Вопросы культуры, асиметрии власти и гендера в трансформации конфликтовHandbook Article
[Аннотация машинный перевод] Подчеркивается, что подходы к трансформации конфликтов неизбежно связаны с тесно связанными категориями асимметрии власти, гендерного неравенства и культурных различий. Автор утверждает, что существует всеобъемлющая глобальная культура доминирования. Эмансипация маргинализированных групп стимулирует фундаментальный культурный сдвиг, который подразумевает трансформация конфликта, и является его результатом. (переработано для печатного издания 2004 г.).

Civil Society and Conflict Transformation: Strength and LimitationsHandbook Article
Focuses on the potential contribution that civil society actors can make to peacebuilding. Central questions are: what types of activities do NGOs undertake? What problems and dilemmas are faced in the development of civil society in war-torn societies? Taking the example of Bosnia-Herzegovina, what are the limitations of civil society's contributions, and how does civil society relate to state-building? And, finally, how do these considerations impact on theoretical conceptualisations of the term "civil society"? (updated and revised for the 2011 print edition)
