The field of international practices organized around interventions in domestic armed conflicts is characterized by a variety of initiatives and institutions. The same diversity can be observed in the way law is mobilized within this field – from legal sanctions to mediation practices. Such an extreme variety suggests that this is a “weak” field (to use Christian Topalov’s expression). Most of the resources mobilized in crisis management – symbolic capital centered on human rights, academic credentials as well as economic or diplomatic resources – are indeed generated in more institutionalized fields. The “power” of such a “weak” field resides in the fluidity of its internal structures, which contributes to reinforcing further its heterogeneity. Indeed, it allows entrepreneurs to combine these multiple resources in order to implement new modes of intervention. This research report illustrates these combinatory strategies by focusing on two major nongovernmental players in the international market for pacification techniques that they have contributed to creating: International Alert and the International Center for Transitional Justice.
