Description
Liberal Peace Transitions: A Critical Approach to Statebuilding and Peacebuilding This book offers a critical examination of liberal peace theory, exploring its constituent parts and the complex process of statebuilding. By breaking down democratisation, free market reform, development, human rights, civil society, and the rule of law into their key institutional aspects, the authors provide a nuanced understanding of the international community's approach to post-conflict reconstruction. Through five empirically-informed case studies - Cambodia, Kosovo, East Timor, Bosnia, and the Middle East - the book assesses the local outcomes of liberal peacebuilding, highlighting both successes and challenges. A critical interrogation of theory, experience, and current outcomes provides a valuable insight into this complex field of international relations. By focusing on key institutional aspects and international actors, this book offers a thought-provoking analysis of the liberal peacebuilding process, shedding light on its strengths and weaknesses in different contexts.
