Abstract
The rise of India and the EU as global actors has sparked growing interest in their peace-building approaches. This paper compares the objectives and effects of the EU's and India's engagement in different conflict contexts within and alongside their borders. It examines whether their practices of conflict resolution or peace-building strive for more than conflict management or 'governmentality'. This article asks whether there is sufficient consistency across either actors' governance interventions to even speak of a distinct 'strategy' or 'governance culture'. It illustrates the close relationship between governance and conflict response initiatives but finds that the relationship is often dysfunctional.
