Adaptive peacebuilding refers to the idea that conflict occurs within complex social systems characterized by non-linear interactions, which necessitates focusing on the resilience of social institutions and their ability to adapt to various pressures and shocks. This approach also emphasizes the importance of local ownership, as local actors are viewed as central elements in designing and implementing peacebuilding processes, rather than relying on pre-designed or externally imposed ready-made models, as is the case with liberal and post-liberal peacebuilding, which depend on external models such as community reconciliation and transitional justice in many countries emerging from violent conflicts. In this seminar, we will attempt to shed light on the nature of adaptive peacebuilding by relying on the أبرز concepts included in this approach, namely complexity, resilience, and local ownership, and we will also demonstrate the extent of difference and contradiction with the liberal peacebuilding approach and post-liberal peacebuilding.
