  abstract     = {This paper elaborates on the concept of hybridity as deployed by The Asia Foundation (TAF)in their conflict  management  interventions  in  the  province  of  Lanao  del  Sur,  the  Philippines.  This  analysis starts from a critical reading of one specific Theory of Change (ToC) that has been formulated by The Asia  Foundation  under  the  UK  Department  for  Interna
tional  Development  Programme  Partnership Arrangements  (DfID  PPA)  Component  5  and  is  entitled:  ‘Community-level  efforts  to  improve  local security  in  Mindanao’.  Two  broad  research  questions  have  been  derived  from  this  ToC.  First,  an empirical  analysis  of  the  ‘weak  state  and  strong  traditional  authority’  hypothesis  that  underpins  the formulation  of  this  ToC  and  conflict  management  strategy.  Second,  the  question  of  whether  the institutions through which TAF is working can be understood as hybrid institutions, in the sense that they  reflect  an  interaction  of  the  formal  and  the  informal.  The  paper  is  then  concluded  by  relating these  major  empirical  findings  to  the  broader  Hybrid  Political  Order  (HPO)  literature.  The  main arguments  from  this  paper  can  be  divided  into  two  major  parts.  A  first,  empirical  part  and  a  second part which deals more explicitly with the ToC and the place of hybridity therein.},
