    International Intervention in Ethnic Conflict: Competing Approaches
    in Ethnopolitics , Volume 11, Issue 4, 2012 ,  2012 ,  341-353
    This article provides an introduction to this special issue on international intervention in conflict. It provides a brief overview of the different approaches to examining intervention. A summary of various approaches to intervention and definitions of success is provided, drawing on the other articles in this issue. A critique of local ownership is set out, drawing on articles in this issue and on the cases of Northern Ireland and the Balkans, particularly Kosovo. In conclusion, it is argued that most authors tend towards favouring either grass-roots or elite-driven approaches. However, this article highlights the merits of an elite-driven approach and emphasizes the need for more detailed investigation of the correct timing for local empowerment in a given conflict and the necessary conditions for its success.
