This book, newly available in paperback, examines the nature of 'liberal peace': the common aim of the international community's approach to post-conflict statebuilding. Adopting a particularly critical stance on this one-size-fits-all paradigm, it explores the process by breaking down liberal peace theory into its constituent parts: democratisation, free market reform and development, human rights, civil society, and the rule of law. Readers are provided with critically and theoretically informed empirical access to the 'technology' of the liberal peacebuilding process, particularly in regard to Cambodia, Kosovo, East Timor, Bosnia and the Middle East. Key Features *critically interrogates the theory, experience, and current outcomes of liberal peacebuilding *includes five empirically-informed case studies: Cambodia, Kosovo, East Timor, Bosnia and the Middle East *focuses on the key institutional aspects of liberal peacebuilding and key international actors *assesses the local outcomes of liberal peacebuilding

Industry Reviews

This book provides a set of illuminating insights (both empirical and theoretical) from the study of a series of post-Cold War 'liberal peace' interventions.--David Chandler, University of Westminster "International Affairs"
This critique of liberal peacebuilding strategies, based on fieldwork in five war-torn societies, reveals variations of approach that are nevertheless commonly based on statebuilding rather than affording justice and livelihoods to populations. Richmond and Franks have identified the dysfunctionalism of these virtual states and the local resistances that give rise to hybrid and diffuse forms of social contract. It is an interrogation of the enlightenment project that leads to revisionist thinking about peacebuilding and causes us to wonder just how emancipatory liberalism really is.--Michael Pugh, Department of Peace Studies, University of Bradford
