Description

The 'Local Turn' in Peacebuilding: Challenging the Liberal Peace Contemporary peacebuilding practices often fall short. Local governments and communities are increasingly recognized as crucial to successful interventions, yet their role is rarely prioritized. This volume sheds light on the benefits of a more localized approach in volatile contexts and explores the significance of the local in these situations. The book tackles the concept of 'the local' in peacebuilding, problematizing its feasibility within macro-oriented and securitized contexts. By examining the substantial reasons for working with a more localized approach, consolidating the debate on the local's importance, and critically discussing the limitations of this concept, this unique volume offers a comprehensive analysis of the 'local turn' in peacebuilding. Published as a special issue of Third World Quarterly, this book provides a critical perspective on the role of the local in peacebuilding.
