This book examines the ways in which long-term processes of
state-formation limit the possibilities for short-term political
projects of statebuilding. Using process-oriented approaches, the
contributing authors explore what happens when conscious efforts at
statebuilding 'meet' social contexts, and are transformed into
daily routines. In order to explain their findings, they also
analyse the temporally and spatially broader structures of world
society which shape the possibilities of statebuilding.
Statebuilding and State-Formation includes a variety of case
studies from post-conflict societies in Africa, Asia and Europe, as
well as the headquarters and branch offices of international
agencies. Drawing on various theoretical approaches from sociology
and anthropology, the contributors discuss external interventions
as well as self-led statebuilding projects. This edited volume is
divided into three parts: Part I: State-Formation, Violence and
Political Economy Part II: Governance, Legitimacy and Practice in
Statebuilding and State-Formation Part III: The International Self
- Statebuilders' Institutional Logics, Social Backgrounds and
Subjectivities The book will be of great interest to students of
statebuilding and intervention, war and conflict studies,
international security and IR.
