  • Melchior, Arne (2010). Globalisation, Domestic Market Integration, and the Regional Disparities of India. NUPI Working Paper: 780. 59 pages. India's growth has been accompanied by growing regional disparities. The paper shows that increased international trade is hardly the reason; the explanation is more likely related to regional differences in skills, investment and infrastructure. If growth is to reduce poverty, India should strengthen integration between its states and not only the international trade.

  • McAskie, Carolyn (2010). 2020 Vision: Visioning the Future of the United Nations Peacebuilding Architecture. NUPI Working Paper: . 29 pages. Despite the overwhelming impact of major global crises, the actual number of conflicts has been reduced significantly since the end of the cold war. At the same time too many post-conflict countries either fall back into violence or fail to get on the path to sustainable peace. More is now understood about the link between global security and the lack of economic and social investment. This combination of analyses has provided the impetus behind the development of peacebuilding as a field in its own right and the creation of new international architecture.

  • Jenkins, Rob (2010). Re-engineering the UN Peacebuilding Architecture. NUPI Working Paper: . 37 pages.

  • Biersteker, Thomas, Oliver Jütersonke (2010). The Challenges of Institution Building: Prospects for the UN Peacebuilding Architecture. NUPI Working Paper: . 17 pages.

To address the issue of what role the UN peacebuilding architecture could realistically be expected to perform ten years from now, this paper briefly examine what different theories have to tell us about the origins of new institutions, their operational dynamics, their challenges, their constraints, their pathologies, and their realistic possibilities.
