| Summary: | The EU have recently taken a more active role in international peacebuilding efforts. Scholars have argued that the EU’s approach to peacebuilding differentiates itself by focusing on more bottom-up approaches. More specifically, EU peacebuilding policies tend to concentrate on empowering local actors in the host countries and allow them to take the lead in initiating, developing and implementing peacebuilding measures. However, do these policies necessarily lead to more ‘local’-centric outcomes? To answer this question, this study will compare the outcomes of EU and UN peacebuilding mission through a case study analysis of EU crisis management missions to the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Bosnia & Herzegovina and UN missions to Sierra Leone and Timor-Leste. |
