"Conceptualizing and Understanding Resistance to Inclusive Peace Negotiations"
Guest Speaker: Esr a Cuhadar\, Jennings Randolph Senior Fellow\, USIP and Associate Professor \, Bilkent University and Senior Fellow\, Inclusive Peace and Transition I nitiative.


The purpose of this talk is to expand our understandi ng of resistance to inclusive peace negotiations focusing on: who resists against whose participation\, when\, why\, and how resistance to inclusion in peace processes takes place. Resistance is defined as the behaviors of particular person(s) or group(s) that undermine the successful design and /or implementation of an inclusive peace negotiation/process. It can occur at different stages of a peace process: before an inclusive negotiation p rocess is decided\, during the negotiation process\, or in the aftermath d uring the implementation of a peace agreement. The paper relies on an even t data set coding around 80 incidences of resistance across 27 negotiation cases and proposes a conceptual framework that aims at better understandi ng the dynamics of powerholders' resistance to inclusive negotiation proce sses especially focusing on its political-psychological dynamics. The atti tudinal\, behavioral\, and ideological background of resistance is not exp lored within the inclusion literature so far. Hence\, there is still need to interconnect the attitudinal dynamics of elite and group identity\; how it is embedded in inter-group relations in conjunction with the instituti onal behaviors and ideological processes of justification. A peace process can be thought of an instance in this relationship where the struggle bet ween these forces reaches its zenith. On top of that\, demand for a genuin e inclusive process is usually perceived as a setback\, or even an existen tial threat\, to the influence of hierarchy enhancing forces that tend to see their interest in the continuation of the social system preserving the existing social inequality and hierarchy.  \;
