Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The aim of this paper is to study the use of force in so-called security and stabilisation operations in which the recourse to coercion is justified, among other reasons, by the necessity to enforce a political order founded upon a theory of positive peace (in which peace is not only a balance of power) while simultaneously military means are used to neutralise the enemy in order to impose peace through war. While focusing on the dynamics of external intervention in Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq, these operations will be approached through the analytical categories and theories of classical clausewitzian wars (in which the symbolical legitimacy of the other is recognised), police operations (founded upon the principle of law-enforcement and thus of the imposition of a symbolical order) and struggles for legitimacy (in which the symbolical order referred to by the other is not recognised). Is there any space for political and symbolical mediation? Are these conflicts a relational process or on the contrary an expression of the radical otherness of the enemy? These are important questions in a context in which the ultimate political-military aim is said to be the (re)construction of a political order. While drawing from insights offered by political theory, theory of international relations and historical sociology, some of the peculiar practices implemented by the international military forces on the fields of Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq will also be highlighted. Such diverse themes as the moral status of the victims, the nature of the interpretative community in the name of which one is intervening and the symbolical status of the enemy will be analysed, in order to assess the possibility for symbolical mediation in these conflicts.
