  • Escalating Conflict in Burundi the Challenges of Overcoming Radicalisation
    Briefing Paper 10 2016 Escalating Conflict in Burundi The Challenges of Overcoming Radicalisation Astrid Jamar Key Points: • The current conflict in Burundi stems from both controversy over the presidential elections and previously unsettled political issues. • In today’s context, key actors in the conflict have adopted increasingly radicalised political positions. This has exacerbated the conflict and limited opportunities to move towards a solution. • Burundi has never truly been the success story it is lauded to be. Despite significant progress in terms of security and institutional reforms, the Burundian political scene has remained fragile and is marked by severe conflicts within and between different political parties. • By failing to address and accept these dimensions, national, regional and international efforts carry only limited capacity to improve the situation. • Widening the debate to include other issues would open up the possibility of going beyond the questions of for versus anti third presidential term for Nkurunziza and find common ground. • In order to create a favourable environment for a sustainable and inclusive political settlement, the radicalisation processes of key actors in the conflict needs to be understood and addressed.

  • Ethnic Violence
    Université de Montréal The Politicization and Depoliticization of Ethnicity A Constructivist Approach to Power-sharing Alexandre W. Raffoul Maîtrise en Études Internationales Janvier 2017 Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de Maîtrise en Études Internationales. © Alexandre Raffoul, 2017 Résumé Depuis les années 1990, le partage du pouvoir est l’option favorisée pour la consolidation de la paix dans les sociétés multi-ethniques. Or, une importante littérature a remis en cause sa capacité à consolider la paix sur le long terme. Ce mémoire questionne l’approche de l’ethnicité, des institutions et des relations peuple-élites dans la théorie du partage du pouvoir. Il propose de la ré- approcher en se basant sur la théorie constructiviste de l’ethnicité, qui reconnaît la multiplicité et la relative fluidité des identités ethniques, sur une approche néo-institutionnaliste, qui étudie les interactions des institutions avec leur environnement, et en accordant une attention particulière au lien entre peuple et élites. Ce mémoire développe trois arguments principaux. 1–La politisation du clivage ethnique nuit au bon fonctionnement d’un système démocratique, menace la durabilité de la paix et transforme la nature de la violence. Le « succès » du partage du pouvoir peut donc être défini comme la dépolitisation de ce clivage. 2–La politisation du clivage ethnique n’est pas naturelle, mais résulte d’un processus dans lequel les institutions formelles et informelles ainsi que la violence jouent des rôles clés. 3–La dépolitisation du clivage ethnique est possible si des garanties pour représentation politique et la sécurité des catégories ethniques sont mises en place, et si des incitatifs pour la mobilisation d’identités non-ethniques sont apportés.
