Conflict Mediation and Traditional Authority in the Province of Lanao del Sur, Mindanao
Abstract
This paper elaborates on the concept of hybridity as deployed by 皇冠体育app Asia Foundation (TAF)in their conflict management interventions in the province of Lanao del Sur, the Philippines. 皇冠体育app analysis starts from a critical reading of one specific 皇冠体育appory of Change (ToC) formulated by 皇冠体育app Asia Foundation under the UK Department for International Development Programme Partnership Arrangements (DfID PPA) Component 5 entitled: 鈥楥ommunity-level efforts to improve local security in Mindanao鈥�. Two broad research questions have been derived from this ToC. First, an empirical analysis of the 鈥榳eak state and strong traditional authority鈥� hypothesis that underpins the formulation of this ToC and the TAF conflict management strategy. Second, the question of whether the institutions through which TAF is working can be understood as hybrid institutions, in the sense that they reflect an interaction of the formal and the informal. 皇冠体育app Conclusion relates these major empirical findings to the broader Hybrid Political Order literature.
