On the (In)Compatibility of Peace-Building and State-Making: Evidence from Somaliland
通过“规则标准化”分析框架，指出和平建设与国家构建在制度与身份多元性上存在根本差异，并以索马里兰为例揭示两者关系充满矛盾而非协同。
Although peace-building and state-building are increasingly used interchangeably – particularly in policy circles – historical and theoretical considerations call their presumed compatibility into question. Applying the analytical prism of ‘rule standardisation’, this article shows that the two processes exhibit fundamental differences in terms of accepting or abrogating institutional and identity plurality, which lies at the heart of peace-building and state-making respectively. With reference to the case of Somaliland, which is frequently lauded for its allegedly joint peace-building and state-making success, this study purports that the polity’s peacebuilding-statemaking nexus has been less marked by coexistence, cooperation, and certitude than by alterations, antagonisms, and ambiguities.
