TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Localizing peacebuilding: the Arizona market and the evolution of U.S. military peacebuilding priorities in Bosnia JO - Journal of intervention and statebuilding A1 - Moore, Adam SP - 263 EP - 280 VL - 13 IS - 3 N2 - This article examines peacebuilding localization, in particular how encounters with local contexts and actors shape external peacebuilders' priorities and practices. My vehicle for exploring this dynamic is the rapid emergence of a massive black market in northeast Bosnia, the 'Arizona' market, which developed on territory controlled by U.S. peacekeeping forces. I argue that the military's relationship with the market contributed to a shift from an initially minimalist, peacekeeping-centric, conception of the peacebuilding process toward the embrace of broader post-war political and economic initiatives, and identify three factors that influenced its unfolding in the case of Arizona: adaptation, embeddedness and place.
