– Peacebuilding
o What is Peace building
o Peace building in IR
o Peace building in middle-level theories
– Please review the provided materials, focusing specifically on the section regarding “approaches to peacebuilding.” Your task is to analyze and explore how public support can be integrated into peacebuilding processes, much like how the article Civil Society & Peace Building examines the role of civil society within the four mid-range peacebuilding theories (conflict management, conflict resolution, conflict transformation, and alternative discourse).
Instead of discussing civil society, I would like you to focus on public support as a key factor. Your work should offer a novel reassessment of the theoretical development of peacebuilding approaches, incorporating the influence of public support at each stage.
Additionally, ensure your analysis is grounded in political science scholarship by referencing 30 peer-reviewed articles from top political science journals, such as American Political Science Review (APSR), American Journal of Political Science (AJPS), British Journal of Political Science (BJPS), International Organization (IO), Journal of Conflict Resolution (JCR), and Journal of Peace Research (JPR).
