What is sub-national stability? • Little empirical evidence of what it is • State level – provision of basic services • How local political elites are structured • How they control/controlled by the state • Related to achieving security • Political threats dealt with • Other factors ……………
Assessing these parameters • Intervener sets these parameters • Decides what is included in them • The extent they need to be achieved • The standards of achievement • Who should achieve them • Which values they should represent • Which governance systems they constitute
Parallels: Democracy Promotion • Carothers: Transition Paradigm • Bridoux & Russell: Iraq: democracy veneer • Varying forms and depths of democracy • A stability paradigm? Or a totem?
Policy and Discourse • State foreign and security policies • overt influence • based upon wider interests and values • international security architecture • Discourse • Foucault (1981) • World View: Regime of Truth
Condition of Stability • Based on intervening state’s world view • Consistent with its international policies • Closes down local political space • No locally reflexive socio-political evolution
Stability: A Totem? • Stabilisation • important processes • mediates conflict into socio-political evolution • need not involve control by intervening state • Stability • a condition • based upon intervener’s perspective • can perpetuate inequality/traditional elites
