This edited book sets out and engages with some of the key
policies, practices and paradigms of external intervention in the
case of state support and reconstruction. Many assumptions about
statebuilding have been reconsidered in the wake of Iraq, and
ongoing problems in other states such as Afghanistan, Bosnia and
Kosovo. Rather than being a regional survey or a policy-orientated
'lessons learned' book, this collection explores the broader
framing of policy goals, statebuilding practices and the consensus
on the need for Western states and international institutions to be
engaged in this policy area. The volume is divided into three
parts: the first engages with some of the key policy frameworks and
conceptual issues raised by recent statebuilding interventions; the
second considers core statebuilding practices; and the third
reconsiders statebuilding paradigms more broadly. The essays open
up debate and critical discussion in the field at a time when many
advocates of extending statebuilding intervention suggest that the
complex nature of the problems of non-Western states and societies
mean that it will inevitably be contradictory and limited in its
results.
