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.
