AB  - This article belongs to a forthcoming special cluster, "Contention Politics and International Statebuilding in Southeast Europe" guest-edited by Nemanja Dzuverovic, Julia Rone and Tom Junes. One of the main criticisms concerning the process of post-conflict transition in Serbia has been the lack of context sensitivity and participation of the local population in the decision-making process, especially regarding the most important issues that were addressed during the political and economic transformation of the country that began in 2001. This criticism became especially pronounced from the beginning of the economic crisis in 2008, when the negative characteristics of international statebuilding became even more apparent, causing increased dependency on international institutions and further economic marginalisation of the most vulnerable groups. By looking at the movement "Don't Drown Belgrade" and the series of large-scale protests in Belgrade in 2016, the article seeks to explore the main reasons for social discontent with the international-led statebuilding agenda in post-conflict Serbian society and the local strategies employed to resist and subvert this form of statebuilding.

Contextualization of the Local A Predisposition of Former Yugoslav States to Liberal Peace

AB  - The critical literature on peacebuilding has mainly addressed the local and its agency in the post-conflict phase while the nexus between context occurring prior to the implementation of the liberal peace agenda and subsequent hybridization of the local and the international has largely been overlooked. Accordingly, this text discusses the idea that success of any peacebuilding project is also dependent on political, economic or social circumstances present in a country or region before international intervention. Hence, the article analyses the context in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) before the conflicts in the 1990s as a decisive factor to understanding successful implementation of the liberal peace in the region.

Peacebuilding or 'Peacedelaying': Social Exclusion of Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons in Post-war Serbia

AB  - Since the end of Kosovo war (1999), peacebuilding efforts of local and international actors in Serbia have been mainly focused on improving the socioeconomic situation. The liberal peace administrated in Serbia implied, among other things, the country transformation towards a more open and deregulated model of economy, and inevitably led to the 'commodification of welfare' [Pugh, M. (2009). Towards life welfare. In E. Newman, R. Paris, & O. Richmond (Eds.), New perspectives on liberal peacebuilding (pp. 78-97). New York, NY: United Nations University Press] through market-oriented policies and tools. The transition also created deep social cleavages between the winners and the losers of war-to-peace transition, and further marginalized the most vulnerable groups in the society. This applies in particular to forced migrants, refugees from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina and internally displaced persons from Kosovo. By employing the concept of social exclusion the paper investigates to which extent the marginalization of these groups is the result of liberal peacebuilding, and if such effects are causing 'peacedelaying' in post-war Serbia.

Why local voices matter. Participation of local researchers in the liberal peace debate

AB  - Most of the critical peace literature has put 'a local turn' as an important aspect of a paradigm shift in liberal peacebuilding, both in academic and practice-oriented terms. Although most of the made criticism is valid, it is still being disputed by Western academics with their epistemologies, ontologies and methodologies. The voice of researchers who live in post-conflict or conflict-affected societies is still very much restricted by structural, institutional or personal constraints. Consequently, by drawing mostly from the experience of local researchers in the Balkans, the paper analyses the main causes for the limited impact of local researchers in the liberal peace debates, and proposes several steps that could lead to their stronger involvement in this discussion.
