环境和平建设的政治：全球议程、倡导网络与国内政策领域
The politics of environmental peacebuilding: global agendas, advocacy networks, and domestic policy arenas
摘要
This article examines how environmental conflict narratives emerge and are used in peacebuilding policies. It advocates for a multi-level perspective that systematically connects global intervention agendas to political struggles in domestic policy arenas. Through a comparative analysis of four case studies—Liberia, Colombia, Côte d’Ivoire, and Lebanon—it investigates how environmental considerations are framed as security issues and incorporated into peacebuilding agendas. It explores how actors construct causal stories linking environmental issues to conflict, and how these narratives shape policy design, implementation, and resistance to change. It highlights how environmental conflict narratives are shaped by security concerns and donor-recipient relationships. While such narratives can support policy change by providing advocacy coalitions with a platform, their effects vary significantly depending on the domestic political context. This article contributes to environmental peacebuilding research by highlighting the strategic and contested nature of how environmental concerns enter peacebuilding discourse and practice.
中文摘要
本文考察环境冲突叙事如何兴起并应用于建设和平政策。文章主张采用多层次视角，将全球干预议程与国内政策场域中的政治斗争系统性地联系起来。通过对利比里亚、哥伦比亚、科特迪瓦和黎巴嫩四个案例的比较分析，本文探究环境考量如何被框定为安全问题并纳入建设和平议程。文章探讨行动者如何构建将环境问题与冲突相联系的因果叙事，以及这些叙事如何塑造政策设计、实施和对变革的抵制。文章强调环境冲突叙事如何受到安全关切和捐助方—受援方关系的塑造。尽管此类叙事能够通过为倡导联盟提供平台来支持政策变革，但其效果因国内政治语境的不同而差异显著。本文通过揭示环境关切进入建设和平话语与实践的战略性和争议性本质，为环境建设和平研究作出贡献。
