This study brings together internationally renowned academics to
provide a detailed insight into the theory and practice of
state-building. State-building is one of the dominant themes in
contemporary international relations. This text addresses both the
theoretical logic behind state-building and key practical
manifestations of this phenomenon. Unlike 'how-to' manuals that
seek to identify best practice, this book interrogates the
normative assumptions inherent in this practice and the manner in
which state-building impacts on contemporary international
relations. The logic of state-building is explored and analyzed
providing insight into the historical context that catalyzed this
process, the relationship between international law and the
practice of international administration, and the political
ramifications and implications of external governance. Case studies
on Bosnia, Kosovo and East Timor provide practical examples of key
contradictions within the state-building process, highlighting the
lack of accountability, democracy and vision manifest in these
operations. Offering a coherent critical analysis of an
increasingly important international issue, State-Building will
appeal to students and scholars of international relations,
comparative politics and political theory.
