Abstract
abstract For a long time, the liberal peace model dominated discourse and practice in peacebuilding, but the result was far from the idealism advocated by this model. In many regions, when peacebuilding was linked to state-building on a conditional basis, the real factors behind these areas’ conflicts remained far from being treated. Even when institutions were formed in them, they were still powerless and often distorted. This issue established the emergence of critical current in peace studies, known as the local turn, whose basic premise is that the more local powers and actors are involved in peacebuilding efforts, the greater the chances of its success
