Hybridity and dialogue – approaches to the hybrid turn

Abstract

One of the hybrid turn’s key contributions to debate in the fields of peacebuilding, state formation and international development is its approach to difference in post-colonial states. Observing difference and enmeshment is not new; it is in response to the standardising drive of statebuilding that it has critical significance. Rather than seeking to assimilate or eliminate difference, the hybrid turn enables approaching it as the field from which the political community of the state is crafted. This does not mean devising hybrid institutions, but supporting mutual recognition and dialogue as fundamental to political community in deeply heterogeneous states. Three different uses of hybridity are identified according to their capacity to enable forms of dialogue and mutual recognition.
