Assembling Exclusive Expertise : Knowledge, Ignorance and Conflict Resolution in the Global South, Hardback Book

Assembling Exclusive Expertise : Knowledge, Ignorance and Conflict Resolution in the Global South Hardback

Edited by Anna (Graduate Institute Geneva, Switzerland) Leander, Ole Waever

Part of the Worlding Beyond the West series

Hardback

Description

This book looks at the worlding of the Global South in the process of assembling conflict resolution expertise.

Anna Leander, Ole Wæver and their contributors pursue this ambition by following the experts, institutions, databases and creative expressions that are assembled into conflict resolution expertise in the Global South. Expertise shapes how conflicts in the Global South are understood and consequently dealt with.

Yet, expertise is always and necessarily exclusive. The exclusivity of expertise refers both to the fashionable, the sophisticated and what counts, and also to the exclusion of some people or views.

Assembled from a wealth of competing knowledges expertise is always both knowledgeable and ignorant.

The ambition of the volume is to explore how this exclusive expertise is assembled and in what ways it is therefore knowledgeable and ignorant of knowledges in/of the Global South. This work will be of significant interest to advanced students and scholars of conflict resolution, peace research, mediation and international relations and scholars of expertise.
