dc.description.abstractThe U.S. has faced recurring difficulty in efforts to stabilize or mitigate conflict through political and economic support. A particular area of difficulty is collaboration among the multitude of organizations operating in modern conflict zones, contributing to inefficiencies and waste. Collaborative governance theories that address dynamic collaboration between participants, previously not applied to conflict areas, are applied to the cases of U.S. stabilization efforts in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Philippines, and South Sudan to understand collaboration difficulties. The hostile environment leads to unstable “perpetually emergent” collaboration networks that, along with other barriers, frustrates robust collaboration in conflict zones.
